Anybody got good tips for how to make a teleporting barrel trap

[Clippy]

I seem to have a hard time understanding the mechanics or even getting exploding barrels to teleport

Make the player teleport inside a barrel. They will telefrag the barrel.

Yourre a genius

I'm so doing that

Make a crusher, have the barrel underneath sticking halfway out of the crusher, place another barrel within range which is on the edge of a teleport line. The first barrel exploding will shove it through the teleport line to explode on the far side.

Slow-crush one barrel under a ceiling 42 units above the floor, so it explodes as quickly as possible, and detonates another nearby. The second barrel should be close to a teleporter line, so the impulse from the first's explosion causes it to teleport. It should not be too close to the teleporter line, or I have found the teleport may fail. If all goes to plan, the second barrel will teleport before it reaches the point in its death animation where A_Explode is triggered, by which time it is now next to the surprised and dismayed player.

Preferably you should have several teleporter destinations, each fed with its own copy of the barrel crusher, set up around the trap trigger. If the player is standing close enough to cover a destination point, the teleport to that point will fail. (Unless you are on map30 and comp_telefrag is set.)

 

Some real examples: Icarus map28 sectors 211, 313; XFIRE.WAD e2m3 sector 203; Nightomb sector 512.

I'd make a dehacked monster, invisible, that explodes on seeing the player. You could then implement it with teleports or some other form of surprise
