UT: How do you successfully create a looping mover?

[Quiet-us]

I wish to create a piston that is constantly looping in it's animation.

I tried adding it as a normal mover, then adjusting it's settings and found nothing.

I then added it as a loop mover, set up the keyframes as usual, but it didn't seem to work, either.

Is there anything else that I need to be doing in order to have it just loop infinitely?

Many thanks, in advance, to anybody who helps out.

Use a Stochastic Trigger.

but it wouldnt be computed anyway or ?? so it wouldn't matter or ??

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Annonymous_mapper (2 n's? I think that if the area is zoned properly, it shouldn't matter that much whether it's active all the time. Am I right? Or do you mean I should add some kind of zone trigger so that when somebody enters the relevant area, it triggers again?

And, just to clarify, Rob.

I use a stochastic trigger with the tag and event set to the mover in question and set it's properties to always active? If so, it's a little strange that there isn't an option in the loop mover to be always active, no?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having it running all the time.

You can have a look at this map. It uses a Stochastic Trigger for some piston-like movers.

i always use constant_loop for my constant movers

Lovely.

Thanks again, people, and thanks for the link, Rob, it helped a lot.
