Make a wall transparent?

[BriGuy92]

I'm making another level (No, I won't tell what it is) and I'm having a small problem. You see, I want to have a bridge going between two rooms and I want the wall linedefs to be transparent, as in, to show the sky. Here's a picture in case you're confused, which you most likely are.

So in this picture, I would want the walls where REDWALL is showing to be transparent, or simply not there.

And no, the final bridge will not be made of grass. :P

Change the Redwall to a translucent FOF.

*Invisible FOF

 

[Kaysakado]

Either one, actually.

 

[BriGuy92]

Change the Redwall to a translucent FOF.

Do you mean translucent FOF as in the "Linedef action"? I already tried that, and still got a redwall.

EDIT: Lemme read the wiki. I'm sure there's something in there that'll help.

First off, I'll post a better picture.

The grassy parts on the sides, as you probably can see, are supposed to be a kind of "shelves", you could say.

Alright, I really don't quite understand what you're asking me to do. I tried making those sectors, where the grass shelves are, a FOF. The result was a GFZROCK texture perfectly aligned with the shelf. I then set the linedef where GFZROCK was to action 58, which is "Invisible FOF." I got the hall of mirrors. I reverted back to what I had before, and I still don't know what to do.

Make the ceiling height of the grass wall thing the same as the floor height.

It should work perfectly.

 

[BriGuy92]

Already tried. Didn't work.

 

[Kaysakado]

OK, remake that part in a seperate WAD file, upload it, and give us the link, then we'll fix it, reupload it, and you can look off of it to see what to do.

 

[BriGuy92]

Never mind, I got what you all were trying to tell me, finally. I was supposed to make a FOF and set the floor and ceiling to the same height. It works now!

 

[Kaysakado]

Actually, that wasn't what we meant, but if it works, then yay?

 

[BriGuy92]

Yay indeed, my friend. Yay indeed.

Oh noes, though: now the "shelves" are no longer shelves! They're flat! Squished!

I'm sure I'll find a way to fix it, however.

That redwall shouldn't appear if you have a thok barrier with a floor and ceiling level the same as the "shelf" sector, IIRC.

 

[Shuffle]

Doesn't look like you built the thok barrier correctly. Make sure the floor and height of the sector are the same and the ceiling of the sector is F_SKY1.

 

[BriGuy92]

No, I definitely built the barrier correctly. I'll try the "Same height as the shelf things", though.
