Linedef type 604

Unsynchronized blinking light.

Linedef type 604, Adjustable Blinking Light (Unsynchronized), is a type of linedef special which causes the light level of every tagged sector to switch between two brightness levels at an adjustable regular interval. Unlike linedef type 605, two sectors with this effect will never go on and off at the same time.

Setup

The control linedef's X distance determines the time (in tics) for the light to be at the lower level, and the control linedef's Y distance determines the time (also in tics) for the light to be at the higher level. Both the control sector's and the target sector's brightness levels determine the light levels between which the effect switches. The lesser brightness level between the two determines the minimum light level for this effect, while the greater brightness level determines the maximum.
