A few questions... looking for a resource/advice (horizontal electrical arcs)

[Doom-X-Machina]

Hey friends,

Looking for a resource that may or may not exist(?) but also seeking advice on how to make it myself if I need to, or if it's even possible at all...

Is there a resource out there in internet land (like a spawner) that can create electrical arcs that run across the floor/ceiling/horizontal axis? I'm thinking of damaging floors that can electrocute you and have little electrical arcs running across them. I'm very familiar with the lightning spawner from Realm667 which works on the vertical axis, but is there something that does a similar thing on a horizontal?

1) Any WAD's with something like this that anyone can direct me to for ideas and inspiration?

 

2) If I manipulated the vertical lightning spawner by realigning the sprites horizontally would it spawn horizontally instead?

3) If I animated a sequence of textures with a transparency would it work as a thin 3D floor (UDMF) stacked on a sector floor?

Any knowledge or advice would be massively appreciated :)
Cheers.

You want something like this?

If you mean you want electricity dancing across the floor, the simplest way to handle it would be to make animated textures that you'll apply to lines on the map. The drawback of this is that they won't be random, but you could get funky with it and make it where the player gets damaged if they touch the electricity (would take a bit of scripting to work accurately).
