I personally do not like earthquakes. I tried it once and could only get slopes to work.

Anyways....what are you having trouble on? This is how you are supposed to make them:

Earthquakes are a neat effect, and easy to make.

STEP 1: Create the sectors that will be altered during the earthquake (if you want any). Make these sectors look as if the earthquake has already happened.

STEP 2: Place one sector effector sprite in each sector that will be affected by the earthquake. Give each sprite a lotag value of 2.

STEP 3: Place one masterswitch sprite in each sector that will be affected by the earthquake. Give each of these sprites the same, unique lotag value.

STEP 4: Raise the sector effector sprites and the masterswitch sprites to the height that you want the affected sectors to be before the earthquake. If you have a sloped sector, place the sprites on the sector's axis line.

STEP 5: Place one touchplate sprite in the sector that you want to trigger the earthquake with. Give it the same lotag value that you gave to the masterswitch sprites. You are now finished - Take a look at the tutorial map if you still don't understand.

NOTE 1: To make the earthquake spawn scraps of rock and metal, simply place sector effector sprites where you want the scraps to fly from. Give each sprite a lotag value of 33. Then raise the sprite to the height that you want the scraps to be spawned from (it doesn't matter what that height is).

Like I said before I could only get slopes to work. You can have only slopes or only raised/lowered ground or ceiling. If you still can not get it working them describe the problem more in depth.
