====== Mimic sector (XG class) ======


<code>Class = mimic_sector
</code>
The //Mimic sector// class is used to copy all the properties of one [[sector]] to another. This allows any sector(s) to take on the appearance of another instantly (useful for creating [[sector-over-sector]] tricks or completely disorientating the player).

The properties that are copied during a mimic are:
  *  Floor & ceiling heights
  *  Floor & ceiling textures
  *  Floor & ceiling texture offsets
  *  Sector light and color
  *  Sector type


===== Parameters =====


^ Prm^ Name^ Type^ Meaning |
| Ip0, Ip1| Target Ref,Target Num| [[lsref]], [[lsrefd]]| Target reference (Line → Sector). This tells Doomsday which sector(s) we want to receieve the mimicing. The mimic_sector class can only be used on lines and we need to reference one or more sectors, therefore we need an [[lsref]]. We set the target sector(s) using Ip0 and, if required by the reference type, the [[data_component]] Ip1. For example:  *  Target Ref = "lsref_line_tagged"  *  Target Num = 8000 |
| Ip2,Ip3| Mimic Ref,Mimic Num| [[spref]],[[sprefd]]| Sector to mimic. This tells Doomsday which sector we want to mimic. As we've already selected a sector we now need to select another sector, but sectors don't directly reference sectors so we need an [[spref]].  For example:  *  Mimic Ref = "spref_highest_floor" |



===== Example =====

  
  Line Type {
      ID = 5006
      Comment = "Sectors with a tag matching this lines' tag will mimic the sector on this line's front side, when this line is shot"
      Flags = player_shoot
      Flags2 = when_act | any
      Class = mimic
      Type = timed_off
      Count = 1
      Time = 1
      Target Ref = "lsref_line_tagged"
      Mimic Ref = "spref_my_floor"
  }

The line is triggered when the player shoots the line (Flags = player_shoot). The line is active in any skill mode and any game type (Flags2 = any) and the line carries out it's action when active (Flags2 = when_act). When activated, the line selects all sectors whoose tag is the same as this line's tag (Target Ref = lsref_line_tagged). It then copies all the properties from the sector on the front side of this line (Mimic Ref = spref_my_floor) and then applies them to the referenced sectors.
