			==Making a polyobject 3DMidTex moving platform==
			A polyobject may be made of two-sided lines, not just one-sided walls. Such two-sided lines can be marked as 3DMidTex. Objects currently standing on top of such 3DMidTex lines will be transported when the polyobject moves. Pushing and crushing will only happen if the touched objects stand in the way of the 3dmidtex lines of the polyobject. It is also possible to move the lines vertically using the sector linking mechanism.

	Create a small sector out of the way. Set the floor height to 0, the ceiling height to 0 (so it's closed) and set the tag to 1. This sector will become the sector that moves the 3DMidTex door, and this door will be triggered when the player presses on the 3DMidTex door. Next, create another sector attached to your first one. Set the floor to 0, the ceiling to 64 and set the tag to 0. This sector will give the door sector you just created a height to raise up to.		Create a small sector out of the way.

This links the movement of the sector's ceiling to the 3DMidTex door (which you will remember also has a tag of 1).

	Here, the example door is in the middle of a bridge that crosses a large expanse, and a fence has been built on either side of the bridge to prevent the player from running around the door.

			Making a 3DMidTex door is very simple. First, create the door.

			Here, the example door is in the middle of a bridge that crosses a large expanse, and a fence has been built on either side of the bridge to prevent the player from running around the door. Notice I made the door into two lines, both lines having their front sides facing out. Set the special of both these lines to 63 (SR Open door wait close) and set the tag to 1. If you run the map right now, nothing will happen because these two lines comprise the door that the player will interact with. The actual movement is going to be caused off screen.

			Create a small sector out of the way. Set the floor height to 0, the ceiling height to 0 (so it's closed) and set the tag to 1. This sector will become the sector that moves the 3DMidTex door, and this door will be triggered when the player presses on the 3DMidTex door. Next, create another sector attached to your first one. Set the floor to 0, the ceiling to 64 and set the tag to 0. This sector will give the door sector you just created a height to raise up to.

			Last, set one of the lindefs of the door sector (make sure it's one that faces in the door sector) to have a 282 special, and a tag of 1. This links the movement of the sector's ceiling to the 3DMidTex door (which you will remember also has a tag of 1).

			[[Image:3dmidtex_tut6.jpg]]

			Now simply run the map and press on the 3DMidTex door. The door should now raise up, wait for 3 seconds, and close. If the player is caught under the door, it will now close (just like if the player was caught under a sector ceiling closing) because the link is two way. This also means that crushing ceilings will cause 3DMidTex lines to do damage to things when they are caught.
