Noclip bug

From DoomWiki.org

Revision as of 00:09, 14 November 2013 by Quasar (talk | contribs) (W1 actions are *not* used up if the line activation is entirely skipped. W1 activations are used up when a W1 action affects a busy sector and fails to activate, which is an entirely separate bug.)


The noclip bug can occur whenever the player crosses a tagged linedef (e.g. a teleporter, a trap which opens or closes a door, or a trigger for a lift). Every so often, the action of a tag simply fails. Wallrunning is one way in which this bug can be triggered, as the player may move fast enough to completely skip clipping checks against the linedefs in question.

This anomaly has occasionally been exploited in speedruns as a time-saving tactic (i.e. by recording many abortive demos of the same level until the bug occurs in the desired location).
