Teleporting by pressing a switch

[LadyMistDragon]

Is there anyone that can tell me what action is used to make you teleport when you press a linedef

Check out discord. It's possible with an action in Boom.

Should be action 174 if I'm not mistaken.

Is that only possible through Boom though or can you do it in vanilla, like in Doom 2 format?

In vanilla only if it's the exit switch, unfortunately. 

Otherwise you need one of those wacky vanilla voodoo dolls, which I have no idea how to make, sorry.

It is not possible in vanilla Doom.

Well, thanks anyway. That would've felt wonderfully random if if it could be implemented.

Vanilla voodoo dolls are not easy as most in Boom rely on scrolling floors to trigger actions. But of course you can use barrels at the expense of health. Crushing ceiling destroys barrel, pushes voodoo doll over line at the risk of dying. But of course you can have death exits using voodoo dolls and Romero heads in Vanilla where both a telefragged simultaneously. Scythe MAP28 is a good example for vanilla Voodoo doll use where you must run as fast as crazy before the voodoo doll is killed.

To be clear, any suggestion relying on voodoo dolls would not work to teleport the player, only the voodoo doll.

 

The closest thing would be to have a switch at the end of a tunnel with a crossable teleport linedef just before the player reaches the switch. When the player is close enough to the switch, they are teleported away instead. This wouldn't require the player to press the switch or even allow the player to fully reach the switch, but if the teleport line is close enough it might create a similar effect to what is desired.
