Action specials are function which are activated either by UWMF#Triggers or DECORATE actions.

General notes:

• Tags are arbitrary numbers used to link a trigger to the tile that executes it.
• Speeds are represented in the number of pixels traveled per tic/16. ECWolf runs at 70 tics per second.
• Directions are relative to the triggering side or absolute if the 8 is added. Note that diagonal movement is not supported yet
  • 0 = right
  • 1 = back right
  • 2 = back
  • 3 = back left
  • 4 = left
  • 5 = towards left
  • 6 = towards
  • 7 = towards right
  • 8 = east
  • 9 = northeast
  • 10 = north
  • 11 = northwest
  • 12 = west
  • 13 = southwest
  • 14 = south
  • 15 = southwest

List of Action specials

• 1: Door_Open( tag, speed, delay, lock, type )

Activates a map spot as a sliding door.

tag - The tag of the map spot which houses the door.

speed - Typical speed for a Wolf3D door is 16.

delay - Tics until the door closes. 300 is normal for a Wolf3D door. -1 means the door will stay open until manually closed.

lock - Lock specifies what keys are needed according to LOCKDEFS. 0 = None, 1 = Gold, 2 = Silver, 101 = Gold + Silver

type - Whether the door is facing east-west (0), north-south (1), east-west double door (2), or north-south double door (3).

• 2: Pushwall_Move( tag, speed, direction, distance )

Moves the pushwall in the trigger's map spot.

tag - The tag of the map spot.

speed - Typical speed for a Wolf3D pushwall is 8.

direction - The direction to move. See the general notes about how directions are specified.

distance - The distance in tiles to move. A value of 0 means the map tile will move until it is blocked by something.

• 3: Exit_Normal( pos )

Exits the level using the standard exit.

pos - reserved and should be 0.

• 4: Exit_Secret( pos )

Exits the level using the secret exit.

pos - reserved and should be 0.

• 5: Teleport_NewMap( map, pos, flags )

Exits and travels to the specified map by levelnum.

map - The levelnum to travel to.

pos - reserved and should be 0.

flags - 1 = Keep direction, 2 = Keep position

• 6: Exit_VictorySpin()

Standard exit but does a BJ jump sequence. Normally activated by a pickup. This sequence is partially handled by the BJRun actor which is spawned.

• 7: Exit_Victory( pos )

Exits the level using the victory exit.

pos - reserved and should be 0.

• 8: Trigger_Execute( x, y, z )

Executes all triggers on a given map spot. Useful for activating something on monster death or having multiple switches do the same thing.

x - The X coordinate of the tile.

y - The Y coordinate of the tile.

z - The Z coordinate of the tile.

• 9: StartConversation( tid, faceTalker )

This is an experimental function for starting a USDF dialog. Not very useful with current implementation. Documented here for completeness.

• 10: Door_Elevator( switchTag, speed, delay, lock, type )

Similar to Door_Open in every manner except that the tag should point to the elevator switch.

• 11: Elevator_SwitchFloor( elevTag, doorTag, callSpeed, nextTag )

Triggers the elevator movement. Things in the elevator are moved relative to the switch and the door.

elevTag - Should the tag of the first switch in the sequence.

doorTag - The point to the door for this stop.

callSpeed - The time is takes for the elevator to move to or from this floor.

nextTag - The point in the next switch in the sequence.
