Ceiling_RaiseByValueTimes8

Name

Ceiling_RaiseByValueTimes8 — raises selected ceilings a specified amount.

Synopsis

Ceiling_RaiseByValueTimes8 (tag, speed, height);

Ceiling_RaiseByValueTimes8 (
  tag,       // tag of affected sector(s)
  speed,     // how quickly the ceiling raise
  height     // how far to raise the ceiling
);

Parameters

tag: Only sectors with this tag will move their ceilings.
speed: How fast to raise the ceiling.
height: How far to raise the ceiling. To determine the actual height the ceiling moves, this parameter is multiplied by 8.

ACS

This special's function is the same whether you activate it on a line or use it in a script.

Remarks

This special is equivalent to Ceiling_RaiseByValue (tag, speed, height*8). When you are writing a script, there is no reason to use this special instead of Ceiling_RaiseByValue. Ceiling_RaiseByValue has finer control over how far the ceiling moves, and you don't have to do any math to know how far the ceiling will move when you use the special. Ceiling_RaiseByValueTimes8 is meant to be used on lines where a height of 255 is not enough, because specials on lines can only take paremeters in the range [0,255].

If tag is zero, then the sector on the back side of the activating line will be used.

Example

The following will raise the ceilings in all sectors tagged 1 by 32 units. 4 is used as the height because when you divide 32 by 8, the result is 4.

Ceiling_RaiseByValueTimes8 (1, 16, 4);
