OldUnreal (Engine)

Hello,

I am new both to this forum and to Unreal Tournament 2003. I apologize if I have posted this in an inappropriate location on this site, please let me know if I have. I am graduate researcher currently completing my degree in psychology and I am hoping to use Unreal Tournament 2003 software to create a virtual environment that will be used in a research study as part of my dissertation project.  I am definitely not an expert programmer, so I am hoping to find some help on this forum.

Before asking my question, maybe I'll explain what I am attempting. In a nutshell, I will be testing patients who have sustained traumatic brain injuries at several hospitals with the goal of identifying which patients are most likely to experience long-term navigational deficits post-injury. Part of the project involves administering neuropsychological tests, and I am hoping that additional information can be gained from data collected by having patients navigate through a virtual environment that resembles a small town. Essentially, I would like to have patients start at a set location and work their way through the town to a target point. Once the target point is found, I would like the program to be reset so the patient can try to navigate to that same point again.

Luckily, I have someone at my university who is assisting me with developing the town in the unreal editor, however, we have run into a problem.  Here is my question: Is it possible to track "distance travelled" by a user while navigating through a town created with unreal editor? I am able to track "Total Time Taken", but it would be very helpful if I could also quantify "Total Distance Travelled" by the patients to allow me to compare distance travelled across patients.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

most people here concentrate on the older versions of Unreal, so not sure if someone here can help you, but I'm sure its possible to write a mod doing that.

Not that logic is different between the versions.
Hmm, I can't tell an easy way to do that... I guess you could store the Pawn.Location variable somewhere and compare it with the current Pawn.Location every Tick(), then store the difference (for example, Distance += VSize(Pawn.Location - StoredLocation)) in a float value. When the goal is reached, you will have your full distance calculated.

It's Pawn (or xPawn). Also, instead of doing a ForEach, you need to do a Level.GetLocalPlayerController().Pawn.

This is a huge help. Thank you all very much for the quick responses!
