Mario Map brick question

[liquidsparks]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to UnrealED....5 months in.

I'm currently working on a Mario Map :



I'm trying to get the bricks to spawn items like adrenaline and health, I know it's not the easiest thing and probably requires scripting of some sort.


I've already tried attaching it to a mover by changing the bStatic property in the properties panel, but since I intend to for it to be a multiplayer map It won't work.

I thought about hollowing out the brick and placing the item inside, then having the brick be a breakable mesh.

any ideas, questions or concerns would be much appreciated

Thanks for your time,

Dave

If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is change the static mesh of your pickup, be it health, adrenaline, sheild, etc. and your sorted, this might not be what you meant, but hell, I tried.

well on my online map JB-Nyx i have teleporters and emitters attatched to a mover and it works online, ofcourse you have to change the hidden default property bStatic to false for it to work. So theres one way of doing it.

Another way if you want it to be inside a mesh, heres just a quick idea, you could get the exploding barrels, change the mesh, change the explosion type, and change the respawn time to match the health vials etc...

my only concern is that there may be no Yoshi's on the map

Thanks to the both of you,

Courtney, sorry I didn't make myself for clear...what I meant was that when a player destroyed the brick block an adrenaline or health pickup would be there in it's place to pickup. Thanks for trying


Iniquitous, I tried changing the default hidden property bStatic on a weapon pickup and it just gave me errors, but I'll play with it abit more.

as for the exploding barrels, that's a very interesting idea I'll give it a shot.

As for Yoshi, Would you like Yoshi as a vehicle?

WOW!!!

I would love to see if we could get that map in RavenShield! That would be a blast!!

At one time, I started working on a SIMPSONS map for RavenShield. But I got sidetracked off the project.

It was managed in this map; maybe you could get ideas from it?

SODsniper, thanks for the comments, I'm not to familiar with Raven Shield...sorry noob Level Designer here...But I'll let you know once the level is done.

Turret 49, you Rock! thanks that's what I've been looking for, I'll get in contact with him and figure out some stuff.

thanks again,

Dave

'Preciate that.

RavenShield is a Counter Terrorist commando type game based on a modified Unreal 2 Engine.

I like to take maps from other games and port them over to RavenShield. Adds a little variety. So far, I have done a bunch of UT99 maps and a Deep Space 9 map from the old UT1 game THE FALLEN.

Good luck with your map.
