__NOTOC__
==Switch Activated Doors==

''Map Name: [[Media:Tutorial.map|TUTORIAL.MAP]] (ROOM 4-F)''

To make a door open by toggling a switch, follow these steps:

:STEP 1: Make the door itself.

:STEP 2: Place a switch sprite somewhere in your level, and give it a unique lotag value.

:STEP 3: Place one activator sprite (#2) in the door sector and give it the same lotag value as the switch. If you only want the switch to work a fixed number of times, give the activator sprite a hitag value equal to the number of times you want the switch to work.

:''NOTE 1:'' It is strongly advised *not* to make this type of door an auto-closing door.

==Combination Door Switches==

''Map Name: [[Media:Tutorial.map|TUTORIAL.MAP]] (ROOM 4-G)''

To make a door open only when a certain combination of switches is set, follow these steps:

:STEP 1: Make the door itself.

:STEP 2: Place one ActivatorLocked sprite in the door sector. Give it a unique lotag value.

:STEP 3: Place a number of "dipswitch" sprites (sprites #162, #164, #166, and #168) somewhere in your level. Give each sprite the same lotag value you gave the ActivatorLocked sprite. Now give the sprites that need to be "on" in the game a hitag of 1. When these switches are turned to the "on position", the door will then open.

==Another Version of Combo. Switches (Version 1.4 or 1.5 Required)==

''Map Name: [[Media:Atomic.map|ATOMIC.MAP]] (ROOM #2)''

Another version of Combination switches is available in versions 1.4 and 1.5 of Duke Nukem 3D. The only thing that is different in this version is the sprite that you need to use for the switches. The new sprite is a red shooting target (#4359). Just substitute this sprite for the "dipswitch" sprites used in section 4.54. Then, set the angle of the sprite to the direction that you want the target to “lay down” (the angle should be opposite of the player's viewpoint in the game). Also, make sure that the sprites are flat (i.e. - press the [R] key on each sprite once).

:''NOTE:'' These sprites should *not* be on a wall, but should be sitting in a sector somewhere (where they can fall over). You can put them on a wall if you want, but it would look rather unrealistic.

==Multi-Door Switches==

''Map Name: [[Media:Tutorial.map|TUTORIAL.MAP]] (ROOM 4-H)''

This is a useful effect for limiting which rooms a player can enter into at the same time. Just follow these simple steps:

:STEP 1: Make 3 doors and give them appropriate textures and sounds. Make sure that you *DO NOT* place auto-closing sector effector sprites in any of these doors! This can cause some major problems.

:STEP 2: Place the multi-switch sprite (#146) somewhere in your level, and give it a unique lotag value.

:STEP 3: Place *two* activator sprites in each door sector (you should have six activator sprites in this effect altogether). You now must give these activator sprites the right tags. The following list should help you in tagging these doors properly.

:''NOTE 1:'' The letter X in the table below is the unique value you gave the multi-switch sprite in step 2.

:''NOTE 2:'' The first number below is the hitag value, and the second number is the lotag value.

Door 1 Door 2 Door 3
Activator 1 (0,X) (0,X+1) (0,X+2)
Activator 2 (0,X+1) (0,X+2) (0,X+3)
