UE3 - GoW Kismet and outputs

Not really understanding what you're trying to do, but have you tried the Range action?

It looks like "active link" only refers to one of the links rather than many. So only link 3 will activate in the kismet you posted. Have you tried making 5 individual delays?

Same thing but in a subsequence:

So something like this?

HOLY INTEGRATED OUTPUT DELAYS IN AN ACTION BATMAN!

NO U

If the attached int is in an output's range, it activates that output.

Hey, I think I'm getting at what you're saying Kantham. In programing terms, you want to spawn multiple threads in your script, except that rather than spawning a set number (which is super-easy to do) the number of seperate threads to spawn is dependent on a positive integer value that is set at runtime.

So basically, sometimes, you might want your one thread to turn into 5 threads, but sometimes you might only want your one thread to turn into 3 threads. Sadly, I couldn't find a way to do this for an arbitrarily large number of threads, but if you never need more than, say, 5 threads, you could just do something like this (naturally, you'd want to convert this into a subsequence with numberOfThreadsToSpawn as an external input variable):



In this example, the sound will play 3 times because the variable numberOfThreadsToSpawn is set to 3. If you set it to 5, the sound effect will play 5 times, and if you set 0, the sound effect will play 0 times. Is this basically what you were after? :tup: ? :tdown:?

Of course, if all you're doing is playing a sound effect, then a much better approach would be to just write a loop with a delay in it (because sound effects shouldn't be playing at the same time anyways), and use an int variable to count how many times you've gone through the loop, and exit the loop when you reach the desired number of sound effects you wanted played.

Well, good luck, I hope this is at least close to what your particular issue is...

Oh I get it. Something like this:



For the Subtract Int, B is set to 1 in its properties.

Oh, Kantham, so what you're trying to say, is that you want a custom Kismet node that will produce as many output ports as you want according to an integer that you specify? In this case, I'm not sure you can do that without coding. Also, if the integer is set at runtime, how would you specify where the connectors should go while the game is playing? You can only set those in the editor as far as I know. I think what you might be trying to do could simply be impossible.

You definitely might want to look at redesigning your approach to use a loop like the one Angel Mapper demonstrated instead. I've found that having multiple outputs all running at the same time can be very shaky in UT3 . Like if 2 or more outputs land on the same node at the same time they'll often somehow recombine and become a single running action after that. It's not true multithreading.
