Has anyone worked out how to make movers splatter players without encroaching?
(ie. if hit by the mover, not just squashed against a wall etc)

Why would you wanna do that?

After my experience movers only kill when the push you against a wall. Not instantly!

This would be really useful. For example for subway cars.

...yeah - I have a train that moves quite fast, but if you stand in the way you are of course dragged to the edge of the map, rather unrealistically.

You could put a TriggeredDeath just inside the mover near the bottom, and set its collision radius and height so that it sweeps out the front of the train. Then, set Movement.AttachTag to the tag of the lift.

Well that only goes and works!
I thought I'd need the mover to be an AttachMover, but it attaches ok anyway - nice 1!
