Boom Question.[Solved]

[Du Mhan Yhu]

In Boom format, I want to make two cacodemons teleport while still dormant. I've tried wind and scrolling floors, is there another way to accomplish this?

If I recall correctly (pretty sure my CC4 map included such a setup), you actually can move cacodemons (and various other objects) via scrolling sectors. It only works if the scrolling sector has transfer heights applied, and the cacodemons are beneath the fake floor (i.e. considered 'underwater' -- it makes sense for the current to carry them).

Off the top of my head, I'm not 100% sure if this is a pure Boom thing, or an MBF feature.

Edit: I'm also not entirely sure if the objects actually need to be beneath the fake floor. Just having a height transfer applied might even do it; I vaguely recall an unintentional issue in another map of mine, where cacodemons would be pushed slightly by the current while floating above a scrolling section of deep water.

Damn the floating monsters!


I'm going to take a look at your cc4 map and get a better idea.

Edit: Figured it out, Thanks Mithran Denizen.
