==Using attached surfaces with linked portals== Attached surfaces can be used to create effects like doors or lifts between different sector groups connected by linked portals. In the classic format, 385 (Apply_PortalToFrontsector) isn't directly related to attached surfaces, but is useful for them because it makes it possible to have lifts and such tagged in sectors that are also tagged for portals. The portal is tagged by putting a line with special 385 facing the affected sector(s), and the line's tag set to the portal tag number you want to apply to those sectors. In UDMF, you simply apply '''portalfloor''' or '''portalceiling''' to apply the intended linked portal, at exactly the height it needs to be. Build the same lift or elevator on both sides of your portal (this will require floors that are higher than the ceiling on one side of it), attach one of them to the other, and set up the portal between them. Under the classic format you will most likely want to use special 385 because otherwise linked portals start defined on the same level as surfaces, but for through-portal elevators you will need to have a floor far beneath the portal or above the ceiling portal.
