I have a prob, I am using the Alexandria wad and am trying to create a timed door. Now, I've put in -3 seconds in the timer box, then I press okay.
I set the trigger down and test it in game, but when I trigger the door, it doesn't close after 3 seconds! In fact, it doesn't close at all!
So, WHAT DO I DO?

Hi BRM, I perceive you're still at it

As to the timed door problem: I haven’t heard an authoritative statement on this issue so far, but it seems that some doors are simply not susceptible to being timed. I’ve had the same trouble with DOOR_TYPE5 from city (the dark blue one that can also be opened with a crowbar). It opened alright, but with the greatest possible disregard to any data in the timer field, and wouldn’t ever close.

Try another door, or import one with TRwest.

You put a minus number in to delay the trigger happening, so 3 seconds later the door should open. As has been mentioned it doesn't always work with certain doors tho.
