RTS via Lines

[CeeJay]

I am trying to get a line trigger to activate a script in RTS using the RADIUS_TRIGGER special (ENABLE_TAGGED or DISABLE_TAGGED) for LINES.DDF. I've read the available docs and tried it numerous times but with no succes. I just don't get it. Is it broken?

Say, I want to make the DOOM line trigger #11 (exit level switch) activate a script (RTS), how would I go about accomplishing that?

Hi friend and welcome to the forum, glad youre giving EDGE a go!

You will need to set your exit line of choice to use the Activate RTS Line Special in order to run your scripts. This can be a shootable, usable or passable trigger. Also make sure to set the tag to the number of the script you have tagged via RTS (TAG 11). If you have assigned a tagged number to a script that is not being currently on the map, the trigger should call RSCRIPT in DDF and run the code. You may have to have your script appear like this:

Code: Select all

START_MAP MAP01

RADIUS_TRIGGER 20 20 128

TAG 11
BLOCK_LINES 15
UNBLOCK_LINES 16

END_RADIUS_TRIGGER

END_MAP

Update, I've had trouble with this in previous experimentations, so I believe RTS 2.0 is broken

I need an example map of the issue at hand, please

Well, I'm hardly new to the scene but thanks all the same

I've tried creating a script with the tag 11, but it did not work. The line trigger just ended up non-functionable.

So what is "BLOCK_LINES 15" and "UNBLOCK_LINES 16" all about? I don't recognise those commands.
