UE3 - UDK Scaling movement based on direction

[Dakatsu]

So, I've searched for any info related to changing movement speed based on direction, and although I found information, it doesn't appear to work in UE3. I simply want to slow the pawn if they are strafing or moving backwards. I would also like advice for a Sprint function that forces the player to go forwards.

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing you ran across the threads covering the fact that the ModifyVelocity function does not appear to work in UT3. You could try "brute forcing" the velocity limitations in the tick function (though make it simulated sot that clients will run it too) of your custom pawn class, its probably not as nice as the modifyvelocity function (based on when it is called in the physics update chain) but it should work.

Here is the thread that covered a basic movement scaling code implementation. Castaa wrote a more generalized version into a mutator.
