How I can create a transparent wall,
for example: force fields, windows, etc..

How Cycler (lettersymbol C) works?

How I can create blinking lights or change
object color?

How I can create an sector and then turn
it to so that sector "border" lines are red?

Excuse the typos, I typed this on the fly.

Those are 2 quite different things.  Force fields: Mask the wall, give it the frocefield texture or the bigforce etexture, give it a lotag that's the sam,e as a switch's lotag, unmask it, and you've got a forcefield you can turnh on and off.

I wrote that too fast: If you don
t care about turning it on and off, it's the same as a window.

For a window, just mask the wall and give it a glass texture.  Similarly for cages, screens, etc.

DOn't use it much myself.

Some textures blink, and there's a sector effector for random lights.

Change an object's dolor by changing its pallette, Alt-P.

That happens automatically when 2 sectors share a wall.

But read the map FAQ, it tells you all this.
