Reflective floor special (split)

[Dave_B]

Damned if I know how I'll get the reflective floor special to work upon loading the map, I've tried using a dummy sector (a bit like a transfer brightness special), but to no avail. The only way I know to get this to work is to set a line that a player walks across to trigger the special, but in a deathmatch level that's kinda splitting hairs. I was hoping that it could be set using scripting, but I can't find the appropriate updated ACS files to make it possible either.

A year bump to ask an almost unrelated question? You'd have been better off with a new thread.

Anyway, the way to do it at map startup would be in an OPEN script. The command you need is Sector_SetPlaneReflection and you'll need to make sure you have the up to date ACS files. I thought the important ones came with GZdoom but I haven't actually checked for a while, and can't ATM.

There, split it for ya.

Hmmm, it seems that the last version of GZdoom that came with its own zspecial.acs was ver 1.0.21. I'm not aware of any changes since then. Here it is:

The last line in particular is important to you.

The new versions don't come with their own zspecial.acs anymore because I integrated all GZDoom and Vavoom specials in ZDoom's base version of the file.
