I would think that is pretty unusual - I tried it against a UTDMT eight or nine times and, almost invariably, the Titan was sucked in and pulped. Did the same with a Queen with the same result. There's a comment in the code for the Vortex (projectile) that says it sucks "(almost) everything" in, so there will be instances when it won't depending, I suppose, on the size, mass, health and distance from the vortex of the monster/object.EvilGrins wrote: In this pic I'm attaching, that Titan walked right through the vortex and was only slowed down by it a bit; it was sucked into it but it pulled itself out.

Re: ChaosUT issues
I'm not saying a UTDMT can't be killed by a vortex, I surprised one that was low on health and ducked around a corner...

I've come across that issue as well now several times - may be after trying to use the VortexArm while a Vortex is active or map related?EvilGrins wrote: Also somewhat annoying after using Vortex I can't use any other weapons unless I drop it first, normal switching doesn't work.

Re: ChaosUT issues
As we are talking about the vortex anyway, this isn't an issue so much as a curiosity, I was wondering.
Vortex is a one-hand weapon. So, what is that thing on the left when I switch from the vortex to any other weapon?

Re: ChaosUT issues
Thanks paper!
One more thing about the vortex... why can I only launch 1 at a time?
There's an actual warning message that pops up that says you can't launch a vortex as there's already an active one, and it's not always me. If I'm doing a team game, I can't launch a vortex until whatever vortex someone else on my team launched ends.
Is there a way to disable that??

Re: ChaosUT issues
Not without rewriting it, I think. It would, perhaps, be rather too chaotic to have multiple vortices active at the same time, especially in close proximity.EvilGrins wrote:One more thing about the vortex... why can I only launch 1 at a time? .....

Re: ChaosUT issues
Little logic triggering...
What if in a game with 16 players and the map... something small... everyone will deliver a vortex ?
What the purpose of such a mess ? Any other proposal more challenging ?
I thought that name of topic is "ChaosUT issues" - this is OFF topic because I don't see it as an issue except a logic issue of player in understanding hard-coded RULES.
Edit: Back on topic
Perhaps we need some "Editing Support" toward that ammo placement according to Chaos type crapped fascinating collisions. Some builder to adjust all ammo collisions according to "Chaos Mapping" rules for preventing delivering a mess at ammo chapter or... a small tiny little mutator for operating some cheap hacks on purpose to bring Chaos playable in all stock maps ? Eh ?
Oh, wait, ignore me, it's only page no. 6...

But yes, you are right. This would be just overload. I mean it's already too much to place more than two turrets in CTF.

Perhaps it could check the Z LocationOffset of all Chaos ammo placed in a map or spawned as a replacement and, if the Z LocationOffset was negative (-30 in the case of the arrow packs and -25 in the case of the UtilityGun ammo), set it to 0? The same with the TurretLauncher as this is often buried in the floor (haven't checked the Z LocationOffset of that).sektor2111 wrote: ... a small tiny little mutator for operating some cheap hacks on purpose to bring Chaos playable in all stock maps ?

Re: ChaosUT issues
Basically anyone interested in a bit of coding can do something like this:
Perhaps it should improve what was doing Chaos. I'll bet that it do works as server-actor without to be in ServerPackages.
Code: Select all
class EhChaos expands Mutator;
event PreBeginPlay()
{
SetChaosEverywhere();
}
function SetChaosEverywhere()
{
local Ammo A;
foreach AllActors (class'Ammo',A)
{
A.SetPhysics(PHYS_None);
A.SetLocation(A.Location+vect(0,0,20));
}
}
Re: ChaosUT issues
I noticed that some trees have a Mesh with multiple sequences, what means they can be animated - but none of the trees has code for it.papercoffee wrote:The Chaos decoration packages are:
[...]
chaostrees.u
Attached is a map with all trees of package "chaostrees.u" and additionally in a second line the MyLeveled animated versions of it.
<EDIT>
Replaced ChaosTrees.7z by ChaosTreesV2.7z. Only the map name has changed within the archive: ChaosTrees.unr ->ChaosTreesMap.unr

Re: ChaosUT issues
Interesting... What did I miss ?
The rest it's just crashing XCGE at collision chapter... ringing @Higor's door...

Re: ChaosUT issues
Each plant has a static version and an animated one.
They animate when you bump or shoot them.

Re: ChaosUT issues
Yeah, having animations but bStatic ? In this sample I see custom types but I don't get why game is crashing by firing map. This is unusual and it does a collision crash... Meshes in void ?

Oops, excuse me but... these decorations are not for me...

Let's say that I do a fake understanding about that moon3 without Net code (I don't know a single operational On-Line instance) but these "trees" are centered in crap, seriously this is dumber than I could dream about... Not only ammo are a mess, amazing stuff keeps going...
If they have bCollideActors=false (as here) there is no bump or reaction at touching from any kind . Inside them I did not see any any such code, perhaps projectiles are "pushing" them (if they will ever collide being "captured" by mod) ?Dr.Flay wrote:They animate when you bump or shoot them.
