Linedef Attributes
The different settings control whether the linedef can be crossed and how/when it appears on the map. They also control the method of displaying textures.
Attribute |
Description |
Impassable |
Neither players nor enemies can cross. |
Block Enemies |
Only Enemies cannot cross. |
Two Sided |
The linedef has 2 sides |
Upper Unpegged |
The texture is rendered top down instead of bottom up. |
Lower Unpegged |
The main and below textures are rendered bottom up instead of top down. |
Secret |
The linedef will not appear on the player’s map in red. This protects secret doors and other hidden features. It has nothing to do with the secret sectors. |
Block Sound |
Sound will be blocked by the second linedef of this type encountered. This can be used to facilitate ambush situations and the like. |
Never On Map |
The linedef never appears on the player’s map — even with the map power-up. |
Always On Map |
When the level is started, the linedef will be on the player’s map before the player has seen it. |
