Mines?

[Chris7]

Hi!
How do you hide a mine behind a wall and let it appear when the player walks on a touchplate?

And who wants maps nowadays?

If you put the tripmines behind a sliding panel, the mines won't activate until they "see" the player. You can use a thin, Doom-type sliding door sector effect (low sector tag 20) for the panel. You'll also need to put an Activator within the door sector and link it to the Touchplate. The Activator works like a remote control and you associate it with a Touchplate or a switch. Give the Activator the same lowtag as the Touchplate.

Give the Touchplate a hightag of 1, so it can only be triggered once. Otherwise, if you trigger the Touchplate a second time, the panel will slide shut again, cutting off the lasers and triggering an explosion.

You can also make a floor button with the touchplate by setting the touchplate to the starting height and the floor to the resulting height.
