for those that don't know, you can set a location id without zoning the place off, so it works nicely for open areas... see dm-inf-atoll and dm-inf-aztecalite for examples of this... it's located under actor->keypoints->locationid

anyways, on to my question: since the actor radius view doesn't shwo the radius of the locationid actor, i'd like to know what kind of units it uses... does it use the regular unreal units? or is it like the light radius, which is kinda arbitrary, IMO... thanks in advance... :)

well take a look on atoll again...
if the slider bar stops at 255, it's like the light actors
if it doesn't, it's in UU

The units are in UU. What I do is temporarily set the collision parameters to "true" (you actually need only set 1 of them, but I forget which at the moment) to get the radius drawn in the editor, find the distance you're looking for, then put that in the locationID radius field, & reset the collision params back to "False".

// DarkSniper :
The 'radius' is half of the diameter of a circle ...

so a 'circle'-like zone with 128 units radius is 256 units in diameter ;)
At least that's my mathematical knowledge, maybe it's different in UnrealEd ?
