Change mover KeyPos[] at runtime

[Barbie]

I tried to fix a mover by code when the map is loaded by M.KeyPos[1] = vect(0, -6, 0); but mover first moves to old KeyNum[1] and then jumps to my fixed location.

I did such changes but I used to do it in both server and client and then... The code snippet is like this - "BasePos" also it's in account...

Code: Select all

simulated function AlterActors() //This is a Package mapped only when said map is loaded.
{
...
...
		if (string(A.Name) ~= "Mover3") // Position 673
		{
			Mover(A).BasePos = vect(240,-23680,-5632);
			Mover(A).KeyPos[0] = vect(0,0,0);
			Mover(A).KeyPos[1] = vect(0,0,-968); //Just open properly - Same as above
			log("Mover has"@Mover(A).BasePos,'SuperTomokov2');
			continue;
		}
...
}

Thanks. At which stage (PreBeginPlay() ... Auto State reached) runs your code?

"BasePos" also it's in account...

Isn't BasePos usually the same as Location?

I've now reduced the problem to a 2-brushes-map:

UnfixableButton.unr.jpg

It works fine on local play but not online. Adding "simulated" to ButtonFixer.Trigger() does not change behaviour.

I set the task concerning Movers - different said a sort of "destruction", means to operate in both server and client for best results, I prefer to setup these very early (PreBeginPlay) because some Movers will do some jobs later in PostBeginPlay, I wanted to step into alternate movement options before their initialization (any potential LiftCenter, etc). Such sort of task I already posted for that CTF-Niven map where mutator can destroy doors at user's desire (daily or weekly). Movers actually are going into void at once with disabling trigger and altering even number of keys when is really needed. Client will have a notifier which will run the same code only in that environment, server has it's own similar task or else some bad movement timing can be seen in client. Code is fully operational if is done correctly but... plain compiler claims constants that are really stupid in this definition. If a Mover is bad, a patch file can get rid of it and everything will be normal.

The second point - making a static mover to open. I also did this in MH-Purgatorium, MH-BirdBrainedResearch and elsewhere - the same dual execution concerning keys changed in run-time + making sure about two keys, adding tags according to events and such. In second map I mapped even additional paths in that area... since the way could be open. These patch plugin type files for NavAdder mutator are old and not very optimized but... I was happy to improve things this way and then... I did not recreate them in a different format. In other maps I did not touch movers like that but creating random situations in order to gain a dynamic map not the same all the time.

Edit: Attachment check...

Why not simply using stock files ?

Replaced texture; map "UnfixableButton2.unr" is available on Test Server now: 85.214.243.170:8888
One touch of trigger fixes the button, next "unfixes" it. Try yourself.
