Switch and floor problem

[TheGreenZap]

I'm having trouble getting this to work, so I was hoping someone could help me here.

I have a weapon on top of a small section of floor (pedestal). I have a switch in a secret location and I would like the switch to lower the pedestal so the player can get to the weapon. I am using Ultimate Doom Builder.

I set the switch to Action 23 (SR Floor Lower to Lowest Floor) and gave it a new tag.

I then went to the line def of the front of the pedestal and gave it the same tag.

I thought that's what I had to do but it doesn't do anything. I tried selecting the sector of the pedestal and setting it to the same tag but it doesn't work either. I'm not sure what to try at this point to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The switch should have the action, that is correct. The sector of the pedestal should have the same tag but not the linedefs of it. I don't know why that didn't work though. Make sure the linedef doesn't still have the tag. Make sure the tags are correct. Make sure there actually is a lowest floor beside it that it can lower to.

You use SR (switch repeatable) so the floor rises back up to its original state after a couple of seconds. Use one marked S1 (switch once) so the platform stays lowered.

Dude, you rock! One of my line defs had a tag in it and that was preventing it from working. It works beautifully now! Thank you!
