You'll find yourself in a small green stone room. Fire your gun and presto, the room is gone! Now you will see a gray column on the right. There are two things that can happen: 1. Fire at the column first, it disappears. Then fire at the computer block, it too disappears. 2. Fire at the computer block first, it rises! Then fire at the column and it will disappear. Now look around and you'll see a marble block, a pipe wall and a door behind it. There are two things that can happen: 1. Fire at the marble first, the pipe wall disappears. Then fire at the door, it disappears too. 2. Fire at the pipe first, it rises to the ceiling! You can now fire at the marble and the door will disappear, but you'll never get to the other side. Can you imagine the possibilities? Get editing folks! (;-> You can even use this effect to create vertical scrolling textures! i.e. floors that rise endlessly cos they can't find the next floor to stop at. I assume this has not been discovered cos I haven't seen it in any of the tons of levels I have downloaded from the library.

Anonymous	The room dosen't disappear in Zdoom :D Still a nice idea for it's time so I'll give it a 4.	x
Anonymous	What good is it if it only works on something so obsolete?	x
Anonymous	It's for Doom v1.2 (only), which PrBoom isn't capable of emulating (yet?).	x
Anonymous	Using PrBoom, doesn't work correctly :-( Nice idea though...	x
Anonymous	Woah, this is pretty cool.	x

Review                  : Interesting for fans of v. 1.2 of DooM.
                          Also for the people, who are intersted in the
                          technical changes of doom.

Description             : Hi all you DOOMers out there!

Here is something I discovered that I thought you
                          would like to use in your own DOOM levels. It
                          involves using the line type 47 G1 Raise Floor.

Use it to make things vanish instantly, even
                          whole rooms!
                          I have included a sample .wad file illustrating
                          what can be done with this phenomenon:

Fire up DOOM and load magic.wad by typing:

doom -file magic.wad

Start a new game, then type

idclev24

This means it's episode 2, level 4 (that's just
                          cos I like the music).

You'll find yourself in a small green stone room.
                          Fire your gun and presto, the room is gone! Now
                          you will see a gray column on the right.
                          There are two things that can happen:

1. Fire at the column first, it disappears. Then
                          fire at the computer block, it too disappears.

2. Fire at the computer block first, it rises!
                          Then fire at the column and it will disappear.

Now look around and you'll see a marble block, a
                          pipe wall and a door behind it. There are two
                          things that can happen:

1. Fire at the marble first, the pipe wall
                          disappears. Then fire at the door, it disappears
                          too.

2. Fire at the pipe first, it rises to the
                          ceiling! You can now fire at the marble and the
                          door will disappear, but you'll never get to the
                          other side.

Can you imagine the possibilities? Get editing
                          folks!   (;->

You can even use this effect to create vertical
                          scrolling textures! i.e. floors that rise
                          endlessly cos they can't find the next floor to
                          stop at.
                          I assume this has not been discovered cos I
                          haven't seen it in any of the tons of levels I
                          have downloaded from the library.
