ZDoom normally replaces the corpse by a different actor, preventing resurrection by arch-viles and similar monsters however there is the compat_corpsegibs compatibility option to instead set them in the generic crush state, allowing resurrection. Alternatively, the DONTGIB flag will entirely prevent crushing the corpse. Like vertical doors, a crusher will turn corpses in its path into gibs, unless the corpse actor has a specific Crush state. To crush with both floor and ceiling together, use Pillar_BuildAndCrush. They can be halted with Ceiling_CrushStop.Ĭrushing floors can be created with the following specials:

In the so-called "Hexen mode", the crusher stops moving as long as the obstacle remains, whereas in "Doom mode" it continues in two different possible ways: a "regular" crusher (upward and downward speeds are both 16) will have its speed reduced to 2 any other configuration will leave the speed unchanged.Ĭrushing ceilings can be created with the following specials: The crushing mode will also influence crushing speed when encountering an obstacle. The "A" suffix indicates that a crushing special uses different speeds for upward and downward movement. The two Generic_Crushers allow to optionally use the Silence sequence. The "Silent" or "Sil" suffix indicates that the sound sequence used for the crusher's movement will be CeilingSemiSilent instead of CeilingNormal. The original Doom, Heretic, and Strife crushing ceilings generally stopped eight map units above the floor, since moving all the way to the floor also pushes the player's camera below the floor, usually resulting in glitchy visuals.

The "Dist" suffix indicates that a crushing special will not move all the way to connect the plane. The naming convention used for the crushing specials will generally use " MoveAndCrush" if the crusher stops moving once the floor and the ceiling have connected, but "CrushAnd Move" for continuous movement where the crusher moves back away then starts crushing again. There are several types of standard crushers.
