lift problems, weird bug

Post by NIGHTCRAWLER »

hey guys, i am having problems getting lifts to work. i used the unrealwiki to help me out but i cant get them to work. i can see the lifts but they don't work?,
another problem i am having is that in some places where i made lift's and this one staircase, players cant walk there theres like an invisible cylinder arround it.
u can jump on them to, unrealed dosent show anething is there and evan after i delete the lifts and that staircase the cylinders are there. any :help: is greatly appricieated

things have tried:
deleting the 2 lifts and 1 staircase
looking for holes in the map
changing textures(just to see what would happen)
looking in the wiki(as far as i searched no results)
if this game ever dies, i go with it

What do you mean "they don't work"? They don't move? That's it?

Another thing, that invisible wall or cylinder, I thing that's the lift (mover) problem.
I think you did the lift shape with the 2D editor from Ued or just edited another existing one, am I right?
If so, I know what the problem is, and I figured it out myself, it's a weird problem, but I can solve it, no worry. :tu:

So answer to my questions above, to solve your problem. :mrgreen:

If you didn't edit another mover, and made a new one by 2D shape editor neither, then the collision thing I do not know what may happened. For that, give me your map to see better :tu:

About mover working thing, what type of mover did you use? A normal one (just Mover), or another one like ElevatorMover, MixMover or so?

You can zip the file, I guess...
If you still can't, then change the extension .unr to .txt and send.

Then I change the extension again to .unr, and then I can open your map :tu:

But I can only take a look to your map tonight, sorry... :noidea

Don't mind about the utx file, I have that one too :tu:

And about the 2D shape editor, I will make a tutorial later (today) how to solve the collision things, so no worry.
I just don't make the tutorial right now, because I'm not on my computer, so I haven't UT installed, and some screenshots are well recommended in tutorials, but tonight I sure you that it will be there, I promisse 8)

One thing to note: ShaneChurch.utx is a Retail package of UT, you don`t need to upload it with your map. ;)

I already saw your map, and I have to give you the congratulations of the well placed spots for the snipers :tu: , but look for Brush137 (it's nothing about the lifts issue, it's just a little note), this Brush is not well built on the Grid, even if I set the Grid by 1 unit (and not the default 16 units). Try to build the brushes well built on the grid, by setting it's dimensions like 256.0000; 128.0000; 14.00000; but not like you did or scaled: 512.1452; 213.785 for example. This little note avoids many of BSP Holes problems, as HOMs too and some collision messing too.

Your map has now a lift working well and without the collision issue, and I will describe how to solve this on my tutorial about movers and stuff. :tu:

There's your map with a working lift, so you to able to make the other 2 :wink:
