To make them "solid" so Lara can stand on them before they fall, these objects (falling_block) need to be triggered as DUMMY TRIGGERS. If you do not trigger them, Lara will just fall through them as if they didn't even exist. So, place your object over a pit, select it and then, on the square underneath the object, place a Dummy trigger (selected from the trigger type in the trigger window). Hope this will save you some mad time!!! JB IP: Logged

Though we hope for promising years, after shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears. And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn scarlet hue. IP: Logged

Anyhow, if you can't add those sounds in your wad, Collin, you can simply put them really high... if I remember well, my falling blocks (aka "floating platforms") HAVE the sounds in the COTW, you can start from them to build yours... (at least they had it in the beginning while projecting COTW, but I edited to many times the sound.txt, so I can't remember now )... They are done by several meshes (the "composed one" and the pieces: mine are with "lights" on while floating normal, the lights are off when they are crumbling, like if they were "broken" by the heavy...
