I'm having this issue with a trapdoor I made, where I can't hear the closing sound when I close it from the top side. I presume this could have something to do with the visportals, but I couldn't figure it out.

My test map is in the attachment below, if anyone wants to take a look.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I just noticed that not being able to hear the sound at all from the top side is actually because I'm using `loss_closed  60`. But still, even if I use the default value for that spawnarg, the sound still gets a bit muffled. So the actual issue is how to prevent this?

Actually... I realize why now. If you don't cover the func_static, the visportal gets dropped entirely. That's why it makes that difference, but not in a good way. :(

You actually do need to cover the func_static...

To make matters more confusing, the "manhole" prefab doesn't have this issue, and I can't tell why. I added it to the test map.

Wait, I figure it out. I made the visportal thinner, so as to not take half of the door's thickness, and that fixed it. :)

Yeah, that's what I did as well but did not mention in my post as I thought you would understand that from the changed map.

Why does this work by making it thinner?

No idea, tbh...

To be clear, though, the thickness is irrelevant. It's just that I moved the portal face 1 unit down. Maybe it's because it's off center now? The door's origin is above ground, so it couldn't be interfering with that.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
