ScripedPawns in VacuumZone

[Barbie]

ScripedPawns do not die in VacuumZones - see MH-Pupea for example, where ScripedPawns often fall to ground into a VacuumZone.
Is there an efficient way to have them died without rebuilding the map? I want to fix that while loading the map.

1. of course I can do cyclic polling over all Pawns but that's not efficient
2. ZonInfo's Event do not rise
3. Event ZoneInfo.ActorEntered() raises 'ZonePlayerEvent' only if Pawn.bIsPlayer is set
4. replacing a ZoneInfo does not work IMO
5. adding a TriggeredDeath could be a workaround.

Adding DamagePerSecond and adjusting properties ?

Adding DamagePerSecond and adjusting properties ?

DamagePerSec is already set to 100:

VacuumZone of attached map

Code: Select all

Begin Map
Begin Actor Class=VacuumZone Name=VacuumZone0
     KillTime=0.500000
     DieDrawScale=0.001000
     DamagePerSec=100
     DamageString="%k is falling to the city"
     ZoneName="Dead Zone"
     Level=LevelInfo'MyLevel.LevelInfo0'
     Tag="VacuumZone"
     Region=(Zone=VacuumZone'MyLevel.VacuumZone0',iLeaf=1,ZoneNumber=2)
     Location=(X=-35.597672,Y=-5.260604,Z=-646.943298)
     OldLocation=(X=-1424.000000,Y=-1728.000000,Z=-6112.000000)
     bSelected=True
     DrawScale=6.000000
     Name="VacuumZone0"
End Actor
End Map

What settings do you suggest?

Okay, let me look at map - As far as I tested certain case I know that a Trigger with a SpecialEvent with repeated triggering it's destroying all sort of pawns.
In Tarmation2 I did something for disabling that damage room when objective was shoot, I believe a non-damage zone can be "convinced" to get turned into an evil environment too. Allow me to study scenario first.

Edit
Works if zone has these values...

It seems that my deduction concerning SpecialDamage for a zone is not very logic since Engine wants a message for Killer's Weapon. There is no weapon held by a zone and zone is not Pawn...
