Doom 64 - "Easy" way to beat Hectic

I found out that abusing the fact that Doom 64 cannot execute more than one macro at the same time let you pick up the keys in the map without having to go through the traps. So if you manage to pick up the Soulsphere, thus executing that macro, without falling into the trap, you can get the rest of the keys without any problems because those macros are in queue waiting for the Soulsphere trap macro to end. In fact, if you wait, the doors will close and the rooms will be locked up.
It says "easy", because it's a little difficult to get the Soulsphere without falling into the trap, but I find it easier than beating the map the way it should.
No, you can't get the blue armor without dying (technically yes, because you don't die, but you get trapped in the blue armor area) by doing this, as the exit switch is also a macro, so the game will wait until all macros are executed to let you hit the exit switch. Because of that, the macro of the blue armor will always execute before the exit switch.
