What are they? I've seen them in quite few maps but not in others. I think they are leftovers based on the way some people design their maps. But how? When i made maps I never had to leave such triangles. Or in very few cases, I'd have to make a small sector outside to edit something temporarily, then erase that. But my mapping work style never involves leaving such triangles outside the map. Or are they relevant to some sector trigger trick I don't know? It's either frequent leftovers because of the different way some people work on their maps compared to my own, or still relevant to some sector effect I don't know so if I was to clean up and remove them things would break.. I am curious?  |

With experience of mapping with 3D floors, I can confirm this is how you make 3D floors, these kinds of dummy sectors are also used for various Boom effects such as sky and height transfers, etc.

Not sure what exactly do you mean by "monster closets", but if you mean the ones that are inside unreachable dummy sectors, then yes.

Yeah those are for various effects, such as moving a floor to a random height that no visible floor shares. I used to use them a LOT in my maps heh.

i'm looking to learn and play as much as i can before i try making doom maps! |

Thanks, that totally makes sense now.
I was playing NimRod which has a lot of 3d floors. Also,. the nearest sector height trick, hmm... I'll read the wiki.
