Linedef type 488

Linedef type 488, PolyObject – Move by Waypoints, is a type of linedef executor which, when triggered, makes a specified PolyObject follow a designated sequence of zoom tube waypoints.

Setup

This linedef should be given a tag corresponding to the ID of the wanted PolyObject. The control linedef's front texture X offset determines the speed of the PolyObject's movement (one fracunit of offset equals 0.125 fracunits per tic), and the linedef's front texture Y offset determines the number of the waypoint sequence which the PolyObject will follow.

If Flag [5] / Slope Skew / Effect 1 is checked, the PolyObject will go through the sequence in reverse, starting at the last waypoint and ending at the first. If Flag [7] / No Midtexture Skew / Effect 2 is checked, the PolyObject will go through the sequence in reverse after completing it, ending up at the first waypoint (or the last if Slope Skew was checked).

If Flag [8] / Peg Midtexture / Effect 3 is checked, the PolyObject will return to the first waypoint after completing the waypoint sequence. If Flag [9] / Solid Midtexture / Effect 4 is checked together with Flag [7] / No Midtexture Skew or [8] / Peg Midtexture flag, the PolyObject will move in a continuous circuit.

Sample

Example file: ex_ld488_polyobject_movebywaypoints.wad (MAP01)

How to use
You may load this file into your favorite map editor, such as Zone Builder. Select `MAP01` as the map to load. You may also load this file in the game: Save `ex_ld488_polyobject_movebywaypoints.wad` into the `addons` folder of your SRB2 directory. Start SRB2, go to the Addons menu, and then select `ex_ld488_polyobject_movebywaypoints.wad`. Start the game in Single Player mode. Press the Console button (`~`), and type in the command `MAP MAP01` to access the example map. When you load this file in the game, it replaces Greenflower Zone Act 1.
