Linedef type 505

An example of using a linedef 505.

Linedef type 505, Scroll Front Wall by Front Side Offsets, is a type of linedef special that scrolls the textures on the linedef's front side along a given direction and at a specified speed. Note that it will also scroll any player climbing on the linedef's front side.

Setup

This effect should be applied directly to the target linedef. All textures on the linedef's front side will be affected. To make the linedef scroll horizontally, change the front sidedef's X offset, to make the linedef scroll vertically, change the front sidedef's Y offset, and to make the linedef scroll diagonally, change both offsets. The absolute value of the offset (distance from zero in fracunits) indicates scroll speed (one fracunit of offset equals one fracunit per tic), and the direction is determined by whether the offsets are positive or negative.
