Mover's CrushWhenEncroach with bots solution

[PrinceOfFunky]

I know that bots cannot die crushed by movers since CrushWhenEncroach only triggers KilledBy() which is implemented only in PlayerPawn, but you can kill it with a SpecialEvent in KillInstigator state that can be triggered by mover bumps using the BumpEvent variable.

DM-HealPod?

I think that one was a triggered zone.

Oh damn you're right! Noob me
Fact is that in this topic we talked about crushing bots not working cause the code in the Mover doesn't allow it, but now I see that in HealPod it works and it has the variable EncroachDamage set.
So it means that for this:

Found and fixed the issue in a way. In short: A Mover is calling a function that is only implemented for PlayerPawn.

Long description: if a Mover touches an Actor, the engine calls Mover's function EncroachingOn(actor Other). If Mover's EncroachType is set to ME_CrushWhenEncroach, Other.KilledBy(Instigator) is called - that function is in fact defined in Actor, but empty there. Only PlayerPawn implements this function:

Code: Select all

function KilledBy(pawn EventInstigator) {
   Health = 0;
   Died( EventInstigator, 'Suicided', Location );
}

This also explains why a crushing Mover does not hurt Bots.

there is a workaround.

Yes but, doesn't any mover give kill point if a trigger is used to move the mover ?

It doesn't. I made a mover class which crushes any type of pawns, but since HealPod][ uses the standard mover class and it works the same way, at that point I believe what I did was useless lol.
