Kismet testing - working minefield. Thanks Reyfox!

Keebler750 · July 2017

Special thanks to Mr. Rey Fox for helping with the little bit of Kismet testing that I was doing. It was a grueling production schedule, but with iSoldier on the camera, and Rey doing the stunts, it all worked out. I think I have the proper Kismet sequences for a working minefield instead of the boring old 'out of bounds' that's in the game. This might be MUCH more entertaining....

EDIT: It may not be clear, but this vid is produced by iSoldier (not me) on my server...

Anyone know how to impart an invisible impulse force to a pawn in AAPG? I've looked at the end of round C4 explosions, kismet sequences, Actor Classes, Volumes, etc, and I can't get anything to affect a pawn. I've Googled my brains out and can't find useful research.

Some things have been removed from our editor, which makes it tough.

Hmm not tried it to affects pawns. only done it with mesh m8 . On cooperstown got impulse actors blowing a wall and fence . I have a look if it may help .

Keebler750 · July 2017

Ya. It works on KActors, apparently, but I can't get it to do anything with pawns (so far...)

=[101st]=Muzza455 · July 2017

Not k actors . They static mesh made into . Feck what's it called . You could even shoot the mesh apart . Forgot the name.

In the vid are you triggering a gravity volume ?

=[101st]=Muzza455 · July 2017

Reading your comments m8 . Have you not set ragdoll effect in the explosions or is that setting in the cinematic

=[101st]=Muzza455 · July 2017

Also if you are using a triggered gravity volume what shape is the volume . In my head would suggest a cone upside down as it would give a vertical and radial type force .

Keebler750 · July 2017

I'm using a Physics Volume with a z-axis velocity, but haven't figure out how to guarantee it will work. Sometimes, the player doesn't fly up. If a player JUMPS in the volume without the Health Damage trigger, he can jump sky high, but it won't work if player just walks into it.

I have used many other types of actors, volumes and kismet setups to no avail. In fact, I don't know what you mean about the ragdoll effect

Keebler750 · July 2017

Also...this isn't a cinematic. It's a triggered particle effect (the explosion) and a health reduction to zero, inside the physics volume which gives the verticality. The trigger volume also plays the sound and makes the decals appear.

=[101st]=Muzza455 · July 2017

Ok physics and gravity volume only comes into effect once a pawn detaches from the floor . I have gravity volume in sub base map I did . Also I don't know if would work to try a flat plane volume at the bottom point you can set no ground friction . Don't know if that will then let the physics volume take over .

Keebler750 · July 2017

Problem seems to be that the pawn needs to jump or bounce into it to make it work. I want to trigger the upward force to control it better. (Thanks for the comments and help, btw)

=[101st]=Muzza455 · July 2017

I will have a look later . I have messed around with loads of this stuff just to see what we can do ingame . Had a nice working trampoline once too lol .

Keebler750 · July 2017

Ya...I had the trampoline thing working yesterday and now I can't get it to work!

Cylindrical force volumes tend to do a good job of throwing things up in the air

Keebler750 · July 2017

Pawns?

I couldn't get those to work.

Keebs, you had it the other way around. The pawn will be blown sky high if it runs into the mine without jumping. If the pawn jumps into it, it'll just fall over.
