Thing linedef types

Eternity can spawn or manipulate things in the map. All thing linedefs are parameterized.

Back to Linedef types

• 398:Thing_Spawn(tid, type, angle, newtid)

Spawns an object of acs_spawndata num type on top of map spot things marked with TID tid. Newtid can be assigned as spawnee's own TID. Note: teleportation fog is spawned as well.

• 399:Thing_SpawnNoFog(tid, type, angle, newtid)

Similar to above, but without teleportation fog.

• 402:Thing_Projectile(tid, type, angle, speed, verticalspeed)

Throws a projectile from a map spot. Can also be used to throw a flying monster. Like in Thing_Spawn, type is an acs_spawndata num. Note that speed and verticalspeed are in eighths (units per 8 tics). Up is positive for verticalspeed.

• 403:Thing_ProjectileGravity(tid, type, angle, speed, verticalspeed)

Same as above, but the thrown projectile or monster will be subject to gravity.

• 404:Thing_Activate(tid)

"Activates" an object of TID tid. The object will enter activestate while playing activatesound. If the object is a monster (SHOOTABLE or KILLABLE flag set), its DORMANT flag will be reset as well, "waking it up" from a statue.

• 405:Thing_Deactivate(tid)

Analogous/opposite to the above, the object will enter inactivestate while playing deactivatesound. If the object is a monster (SHOOTABLE or KILLABLE flag set), its DORMANT flag will be set as well, turning it into a statue.
