OldUnreal (Engine)

I'm wondering how to create a surface with heavy/medium friction (like Sand/Snow), the opposite to lower the ZoneGroundFriction parameter in a Zone, but I can't figure it out, I suppose that this feature is not working in the game.

Well like me, other guy in this post: http://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/ ... 867695/3#3 have the same problem, so the reason of this post is to ask, if it's ´possible to enable some way to do this (could be by raising the GroundFriction parameter above 4, or perhaps in the Friction parameter on a singular texture).

Thanks

What do you mean? The default friction is already very high, what do you think would happen if you set it even higher? :-?

By friction Im meaning to the way that a surface can slow down your walking/run movement on it, like if you are walking in snow or sand, you will move at, for example at 70% of the normal speed. In other words the same slow-down effect on a TarZone, but in the ground.

Raising the valor above 4, will make a surface stops you in the same milisecond that you release the movement key.

I have found in the tar zone the same thing that i'm talking:

event ActorEntered( actor Other )
{
     Super.ActorEntered(Other);
     if ( Other.IsA('Pawn') && Pawn(Other).bIsPlayer )
           Pawn(Other).WaterSpeed *= 0.1;

Well, this work fine, but is water, so (at least for add in "MyPackage") there is something like "GroundSpeed"? (that only affect the movement of the player when touching the ground)

you could make a very small zone only a few UU high that could act as a footzone, like shallow water deep enough only to make splashes that decreases movement speed, so once you jump you move fast again. what I don't know is if "ActorEntered/leaving" works on zones when you have region.zone.footzone only. Worth a try.

Complex physics wasn't exactly on the to do list in 1995-1998

add a knife to run faster...

Code: Select all

event ActorEntered( actor Other )
{
     Super.ActorEntered(Other);
     if ( Other.IsA('Pawn') && Pawn(Other).bIsPlayer )
           Pawn(Other).GroundSpeed *= 0.1;
}

event ActorLeaving( actor Other )
{
     Super.ActorLeaving(Other);
     if ( Other.IsA('Pawn') && Pawn(Other).bIsPlayer )
           Pawn(Other).GroundSpeed = Pawn(Other).Default.GroundSpeed;
}

Excellent, it works perfectly!

I added your code to a DynamicZoneInfo and it's perfect for create some easy added "speedzones", for dificcult (or help) the movement, like deep snow/sand or burning coal hahaha.

To take advantage of your code (and the tarzone waterspeed too) I think that it would be interesting to have incorporated it to a default ZoneInfo tag.


Thanks man

Good to know it works.

Just don't suicide in such a zone.

Yeah, it makes you move slow in general...
