Sector type 512, Wind/Current, is a sector type which, when used in conjunction with certain linedef types, creates a wind (in air) or current (in water) effect that pushes the player. To create wind, this sector type is used in conjunction with linedef type 541 for a horizontal wind effect, linedef type 542 for an upwards wind effect, or linedef type 543 for a downwards wind effect. To create a current, it is used in conjunction with linedef type 544 for a horizontal current effect, linedef type 545 for an upwards current effect, or linedef type 546 for a downwards current effect. For more information on pusher effects, refer to the pusher tutorial.

Solid FOF control sector	Pushes the player forward upon touching the FOF top. Since this effect is not designed for pusher effects that affect only surfaces, the Conveyor Belt sector type should be used instead.
