- *** Tempest's BUILD Tutorial ***
- Lesson 4 : Star Trek doors
- =====================================================================
- Purpose:
- A tutorial on making Star Trek doors in Duke Nukem 3D using Build.
- Note that a Star Trek door and a Split Star Trek door are two
- different kinds of doors. I'll explain Split Star Trek doors in
- a later lesson.
-
- Step 1:
- Make a door opening. Choose some cool textures.
-
- Step 2:
- Watch carefully at the map. I've added 3 vertices on each side of
- the door sector, and moved them inwards. Star Trek doors are
- actually made out of the side walls. Assign your door texture now
- before you close the door.
-
- Step 3:
- Construct a vertical-split door by moving the vertices to their
- correct position. Easy, eh? You'll have to make sure that you don't
- accidently connect the two side walls together at their meeting
- point.
-
- Step 4:
- A Star Trek door needs a Lo-tag value of 9. Add a Speed sprite
- (#10) to determine the speed in which the door will open. Add
- a Music&SFX sprite (#5) for the door sound. You'll notice a bug
- in Duke Nukem 3D. The sound will be played twice. It doesn't
- sound quite right. It's odd that I haven't seen a Star Trek door
- in the game itself.
