Platform_perpetualmove variant for 3dfloors

[Epoch]

Is it possible to create a version of Platform_perpetualmove that would move the floor and ceiling simultaneously? I have had trouble with this function when I tried to use it for 3d floors. The underside of the floor (the floor of the dummy sector) moved while the ceiling did not.

Could you add a variant of the special, or perhaps another boolean variable to make it move the ceiling of the dummy sector as well?

In the editor I use (DeePsea v12.13) there is an option in the "Floor Raise" menu item called : Floor&CeilingLowerVal + Tag-Speed-Height (type 95) and another one called Floor&CeilingRaiseVal + Tag-Speed-Height (type 96) . Set up your switch or walk line and tag the 3-D model sector (the one outside the map). It works great for me. The only draw-back is that, if you make it a 'repeatable', the platform (3-D floor) will go down into the floor or up into the ceiling. Of course, clicking the appropriate switch will bring it back up (or down).

I would just use scripts instead.

Script is the best way, IMO. It only takes 2 lines per sector. And plus, it allows a lot more control.

Seems like it would be a lot easier to set a line and tag a sector, but you've piqued my curiosity..... I am all for 'more control'. Could someone give an example of the scripting for raising and lowering a 3-D floor? Where does it go once you've written it? I have some experience writing scripts but a lot of this stuff is new to me. So I'm always willing to learn.....

PS,

Is there any way to put a 3-D floor over the top of another 3-D floor?

Yes, just create another control sector with a 3d floor at a different height.

The linked sector feature should resolve this old suggestion.
