It could be two things..

If you copy pasted the switch and door that means it might have the same tag number? If it has the same tag number it might highlight both sectors and all sectors involved with that tag. Change the tag number.

Or when you copy paste a sector sometimes the editor recognizes that and for easier purposes it makes it the same sector. In 2D mode press "M" for "Make Sectors" and click on each sector you want to separate. Make sectors takes sectors that are combined and separates them to be there own. This one probably won't work if the tag is the same on them though.

I didn't copy and paste, I just made it the same way and looked at reference. "2301" was my random tag number. xD I think I messed up the section on the switch, that was probably why. I'm going to try it again and if I can't get it right, I'll come back to it later in the day because it's just after midnight.

I did that. The lines highlighted this time, but now the switch wasn't working again and it's like the textures were the other way. I had the pegs the same way around, though. It was starting to annoy me and it's getting late. I'll try again later. I might even practice on a new map or area, so I don't have so much stuff causing me confusion.

I've been awake for more than 12 hours. But thanks, because I didn't know you could separate sections that easy. I was doing it the slow way. xD

Really cool stuff here.

HalleFUCKINGlujah!



I made a practice map and followed that video. I did make a mistake, but realized that I had the tag set to "2" and not "1" like I followed. The "2" was meant to be the door action. xD

It worked. Also,  I figured out how to un-peg the textures under and above the switch. That's why I made it the blood texture on my map, because I couldn't get it even with the wall.

Speaking of "Unpegged"... That door method did work this time. My map is strange, so that's why I had problems. Also, my rooms aren't done on solid "Impassable" lines... I think that's why things are not functioning properly. The only Impassable Linedefs were the outline shape that was made to look like my icon. I don't really feel like changing all my Linedefs because it might ruin some of the features, but I'll see if I can do a fix...

I think I made a huge nooby blunder! xD

Anyway, I'll keep this practice map and see if I can make another switch, without a guide. I have to remember this, like all the other stuff I've learned. It is a bit more complicated than the doors.

Yeah, I just tried a second switch that activates the same door and got it working just like that. I think I've got this, now.

I'll have to try on my Abyss map and see if I can do it this easily. I have to remember that most of my map is deep (hence the map name) and also the fact that my rooms aren't really separated by Impassable Linedefs. I'm sure that doesn't matter, though?

I can also set a lower texture and raise the little rectangle ceiling by two scrolls, but I'll do it the way the video showed normally. All I know is that my second map will be more improved, once this is done.
