UE2 - UT2kX more door questions

stocko2k · 13th Dec 2008, 12:37 PM

Hi i've done a lot of googling to see if i could find the answer to this i even went out and bought the mastering unreal book.

i want to create a door that rotates (which is simple enough) but it only opens 1 way. I'd like it to open away from the player no matter what side the player is standing.

thanks in advance

You will need a custom mover class for this, for example Jailbreak's JBMoverDualDestination. Feel free to copy the code from the implementation subpage of the page I linked. (Note that it also requires the JBProbeEvent class.)
You will have to make the mover TriggerOpenTimed, though. BumpOpenTimed does not recognize different bump directions.

I admit this is just about the largest hammer available to solve your problem, but of course you could try scripting your own custom mover with a new state that recognizes two different bump directions and opens accordingly.

scripting my own mover at the moment is kinda out the question as i have no expeiriance in scripting..
if i copy the code from the link you have provided it will go with the map when moved from 1 computer to another or will i have to add the file to a certain folder within the ut files???
just asking cause this map i am working on is for uni and if i have to add extra files i will need to make my tutor aware of this before he trys running the map for marking

thanks for the advice
