How would you go about making a trigger activated zone? I am thinking about making a trap in a map that reverses the gravity when triggered, sending the poor sob into a deathzone above.

Are you sure? I swear that I remember a map that had a trigger to activate a pressure chamber (which caused damage to anyone inside) but I cannot remember which map it was to see how they did that.

Do you have Unreal1? There was 1 map whit triggered zone. Levels name was maybe Darkpass or something similar whit pass. I'll check it tonight and maybe I'll tell about it tomorrow.

The map's name is Passage, and there is water floving into pool. But there is not triggered zone. It is done by sheet mover, and sheet mover triggers some kinda water splash. I really don't know how it works, but try to do your gravity whit invisible mover sheets. If you wan't, you can mail me the map, so I can check that one. My e-mail is Ripa98@hotmail.com And I get UT this week, so I can still check it.

OK, thanks. I guess I will keep working on it and see what I can do instead :)

The map with a pressure chamber in UT is DM-Pressure, this has a triggered zone...and blows you up...!
I spent ages recreating this effect, it can be done. Check out the zoneinfo actor.

Yea, it is DM-Pressure. How exactly is that done?

Hey, just use ZoneTrigger actor. It is mainly used to trigger other values of gravity. Read Wolf's tutorial of Triggers.

Well triggered zones are possible in a limited way. You can use moving sheets together with a ZoneInfo(!) if you keep the water or whatever shallow enough. You can also fake the zone with triggers and specialevents(they can create pain) like in "passage)!

But Zone Trigger is mainly used to trigger gravity settings. I think it works. I'm not really sure about this. Try faking the zone.
