Instantly lowering floor in Vanilla

[rouge_means_red]

Trying to make a floor lower instantly in Vanilla (testing with DSDA)

 

 

The dummy sector is touching a sector where the ceiling height is 0

 

The OG sector (top left) only has ceilings above it. Even if I delete all the sectors around it it still doesn't move (but it makes a "door stop" kind of sound)

 

The two sectors are indeed the same (they're both sector index 212)

 

I've used dummy sectors a lot in the past but for some reason this one isn't working

Update: suddenly it works? I think the sector ids got shuffled around somehow, now the main sector is index 43 and the dummy sector is index 0. I guess the dummy sector has to be a lower index than the main one?

aaand now it doesn't work anymore. WTF is going on?

imo, try isolate the problem by copy paste the just the buggy area into a new vanilla wad, then see if it works there. if it works everytime in the isolated new wad, then there may be other variables at play such as the sectors around either the target or dummy sector are changed, or the target/dummy sectors height are changed elsewhere in the map. hope this helps your predicament.
