Platform drives above ground

[Badboy]

i saw this mechanic a few times in wads, cant remember their names.

so a platform from below ground, player cant see it, then gets triggered and lifts up above the ground very fast.

how to do that in boom format. i tried fake floor and lift it above ground, but the lift didnt work, maybe a tag problem.

Try lower to highest floor, if you wanted the low floor to raise instantly. If the highest floor is some dummy/control sector, then it could raise higher than the floors surrounding the pit.

works! really strange that there is no sound, i like it.

I think ZDoom doesn't play a sound if the movement is instant. Source ports not related to ZDoom will play a clanging sound.

Unless your moving sector has some of its lines very far from the player. Sectors emit their sounds from their centers in most engines (once again ZDoom family shows a different behavior by default).

zdoom didnt make a sound, with my strange construction. your right, other ports do a sound. anyway its not important.
