Making Forcefields in GZDoom (Doom 2 UDMF)

[Lizardcommando]

Hello again, sorry for the constant posts, I have another question, this time regarding making force fields in Ultimate Doom Builder using GZDoom (Doom 2 UDMF). So I have linedef set up to be the laser forcefield and I want it to get turned off by shooting the switch. For some reason I still cannot walk through the forcefield. Not really sure what I am doing wrong here. Also, are there any tutorials on how to create a forcefield in GZDoom (Doom 2 UDMF)? I wasn't able to find any on Youtube.

The switch to turn off the laser.

Possibly the Block players, monsters, projectiles setting?

Not sure how it's done through line actions, but you could set the line to run a script like this:
 

script "ForceFieldDown" (void)
{
	Line_SetBlocking(line_tag, 0 , 6);  //removes player and monster block
	SetLineTexture(line_tag, LINE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "-");  //removes the middle textures
	SetLineTexture(line_tag, LINE_BACK, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "-");
}

Looks like Rifleman has you covered with an ACS script.

 

Other than that you can use a wall that is transparent or texture similar to glass and have the wall fast slide up or down in the same vein as a normal door.

The use of invisible walls as windows goes clear back to Doom 1 and Doom 2 in both Map01 and e1m1. 

FreeDoom Phase 2 has a Glass style mostly transparent texture that is used in compatibility with TNT iirc.
