Explosion, Masterswitch and Touchplate?

[Roger Gargantua]

Heyowww !

I made a explosion somewhere in my map.
Secter Effector 13 to fill up the gap.
SE hitag = 6155 ( just a random number )

To activate this explosion i made a touchplate and masterswitch.

Touchplate lotag = 6155
Masterswitch lotag = 6155

But in game....when i walk over sector with touchplate.....the explosion doesnt come.
I dont know what i have done wrong.

I have tried several things ( like "blocking/unblocking" the sprite ).
alter height of ground.....any crazy thing u can imagine. But nothing works

anyone know how to solve this ? Thanks !

if im not mistaken the lotag of the masterswitch is the delay

and the hitag the number you want to trigger (not sure its been a wile)

[Roger Gargantua]

No, I double checked it...
Masterswitch's Lotag is used to trigger.
It's hitag is used for delays

You DID raise the SE 13 to the roof/ ceiling right?

And uhh, have you put any C-9's in the sector with the Masterswitch BTW?

Probably this won't work but give the Touchplate Hi-tech 1. This makes the action carrying out just once.

If none of this is going to help, send me your map.

From the top.
SE 13 is for making holes in the wall. This effect is triggered by any explosion, even by a pipe bomb. But you have to use the crack sprite to activate getting the hole in the first place! I have no idea why this sprite is to be at a high level of a sector?

If the explosion does not happen
Check that all c-9 have a l-tag other then 0
Check that the h-tag of the C-9 matches the l-tag of Master/Touchplate.
Make sure the Masterswitch is in the sector where the explosion is to take place
Make sure the Touchplate will get activated by the player, i.e. the sector is not too small.

If you have not done so you can download the FAQ from my SST file site, ‘cause I have not done a map in over a year, and I am over the hill in memory.
