Odd bug I found- Suggestions?

[Silhouette 03]

I was testing a map I've been working on and this bug occurred:

Spoiler

 

Don't know if you can tell from the screenshots, but the enemies and objects(including the player) appear to be levitating above the ground and the enemies sometimes disappear. If anyone can tell me why this is happening and suggest a potential fix, I would be very grateful.

They walk on an invisible sector, try to move some linedefs a little and rebuild nodes

Your map is haunted noooooooooo

How would I rebuild nodes?

Run or save the map

EDIT:

It works?

I’ve tried running it as well as saving it, so I’ll try and rearrange some linedefs. Thank you!

Sometimes adding a vertex to tall linedefs may help

Sorry if I'm bumping this thread but the problem still persists, even if I save or run the map

How big is your map? Do the two furthest points in the map from eachother exceed a distance of 32767 units? 

 

While you can conceptually place your map geometry anywhere in the available space, your map dimensions cannot exceed one quarter of the space (32767 units, half the vertical and horizontal axes). Map geometry further out than that can result in overflows in distance calculations, causing all sorts of weird behaviour including actors referencing the wrong sector (which is what would produce similar symptoms to what you've described).

So I should make my map smaller?

Edit: fixed.. I think? Thank you Edward!

Fixed

there wasnt zokumbsp for optimizing nodes on big vanilla maps?

maybe it can fix the problem :/

Only in terms of storage limits, it can optimize things like the blockmap size. It can't do anything about the game's mathematics, however.
