There may be no answers to these questions, and there may be no point in asking them, other than they've been bugging me for a while... that and they'll give Nuclear Fuzz Grunge a few sleepless nights, bhahahaha :p

number 1:
the movers in DM-Stalwart that cover some of the crates.
ga? They're set to TriggerOpenTimed, but there's no trigger that matches the tag? Do they actually ever open?
What about the secret area in the XL version of that map. Same thing -- no trigger.

number 2:
just what the heck is this texture doing in NaliFX pack? it's not used anywhere is it? or is it....?
what did they plan on using it for? :con:
(secret code, secret code!!!!! :D )

Wouldn't you have to select the trigger to see the line?
Perhaps there is something else that has the event associated with it, like another mover, or a player start. Anything can be given an event. What we need is a "find actors with [event/tag] = xxxxxxx" function. Then we could find the culprit!

What I wonder is why did the unreal guys leave a buggy quadshot mesh in, while from early interviews they said that there will be no shotgun or double shotguns, and at a different time that they had a working quad shotgun

Never mind, I got it. Those SOBs are damage triggered.

yeah, they open when shot to reveal a big keg o' health...
honestly, i'm surprised tarquin managed to get stumped by something as basic as that... :D

I have seen at least 10 other versons of the qsg(quadshotgun), but I think I rather like that one

but I still wish I could have seen the epic one, the "real" qsg and why did that leave that buggy mesh?

I tried to make my own "realistic" version of the QuadShot, but I could never make it look good in 3rd person. I really wish Epic could have left some decent meshes for it.
