Platform on other Platform not lowering.

[AzureDoomMapper1250]

Hello, i'm a Doom Mapper working on my wad (not megawad) and i'm currently at it's 7th level. Tho there's one glitch which seems kind of weird, a platform which is on another platform has the same tag as a switch that is supposed to lower down the two platforms. Tho only one of them lowers, the other one doesn't seem to lower for some reason. Is this intentional in UDB, or is it a bug? Any help is appreciated. (The platform that doesn't lower is the one with the blue skullkey on it.)

if you're trying to get them to both lower to the lowest floor, the middle platform will not lower due to having nothing to lower to (and in some newer source ports, it'll lower to where the other platfrom is, but no lower). your best bet would be to make it with a dummy sector out of bounds, joining the two (with the j key) so that they're one in the same, and giving the dummy sector a place to lower to with another sector beside it. I've had to do this before with a platform, and it's also used commonly with fake bridges in Boom. it's not terribly hard. I can go further in depth if necessary, but that should help a bit.

Thank you very much! The dummy sector idea worked!
