Talk:Linedef type 414

Property usefulness

"Additionally, if this linedef is tagged to certain sectors or FOFs and [...] the Effect 5 flag is not checked, then the sound will only be played if the player or thing who triggered the effect is touching a tagged sector or FOF."

This is not very useful if you're triggering the effect by stepping into a sector or FOF with the Trigger Linedef Special. Why? Because you're either in the sector/FOF or not. No need to tell the game to only play the sound if you're on a sector with the same tag.

So when should you use this property? Well, from what I gathered, only the A_LinedefExecute SOC action gives this some usefulness. You can SOC an object and give it a frame where it calls said action to play a sound, but only if your mobj is actually inside the specific sector or FOF. Cool, huh? --Ricardo ^{[Contribs] [Talk]} 19:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
