Thunder Storms in MBF21

[Esoi]

I had decided to develop my next wad using the MBF21 format mainly because I like the software rendering and GZDoom is flooded with mods right now.

However some thing I lamented was that there was no support for lightning in boom and MBF21 didn't add it either, so I brainstormed a way to accomplish it, here is the result and I want to share it with you.

Made with three custom objects (Made with Decohack), Voodoo dolls, conveyer belts and a custom sky texture.

 

The switch is gun activated for now as one of the components needs to "wake up"

Edit: New object added, the "Closet_alerter". It's job is to alert monster closets when it sees the player, used here to alert other objects for use with thunder, can be used for other hackery as well.

 

Source Port: Anything with MBF21 support such as Woof or DSDA-Doom

Iwad required: Doom 2

Map Format: MBF21
