evil_scientist Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) This might be useful for beginners or mappers who sometimes get stuck. I tried to list a bunch of things you might find in an area of a Doom map, put them all in a random generator: HERE IT IS! Current list (contributions by evil_scientist, Walter confetti): Spoiler Elevation change Balcony Catwalk Sheer drop Stairs Surrounded by enemies Hidden enemies Item in sight, reachable from other area Hub area Teleport trap Monster closet with secret Elevators No way back Monster teleports away Big stash of items Outdoors Maze Crates Second floor Snipers Arena Door slams down Chasm Damaging floor Curtains up for big reveal Sudden and significant change in environment Pyramid Dramatic light Blinking light or arrow shows the way Reference to classic map Monster in cage Exploding barrels Tunnel hidden behind waterfall Techbase element in cave / cave element in techbase Collapsed area Collapsed wall Faulty computers Wall full of screens Garish decorations Indoor garden Writing on the floor Some sort of big machinery Vehicle Doors that open all at once Swarm of enemies One large enemy One giant enemy and a bunch of small enemies Item in view, but defended by monsters Secret passage that gives advantage over enemies (like a sniping position) Teleport to a section that’s completely different, then come back View over outdoor area Exit to outdoor area / entrance to indoor area Bridge Sky floor Multiple paths breaching to different places Invisible floors Floor raising or lowering over a toxic liquids pool Crusher defending a important item or location Raising stairs by trigger effect Floor(s) moving up and down A hard monster beatable only via telefragging A office Library An apartment Liquid falls flooding the room Place filled with corpses A worshipping temple If you have more ideas, feel free to post them, and I'll add them to the list and generator.
