Keeping players apart

Post by Bane »

is there any way to force players to stay away from each other, e.g. make it impossible for player A to move within 1000 units of player B and vice versa? The obvious solution would be to set both player's collision radius to 500, but that would obviously have undesirable effects with the level geometry. Any way to pull this off?

A way to do this would be by making an actor that has its collision properties set so that only bBlockPlayers and bCollideActors are true and make its collisionraduis 1000. Then somewhere after the actor is spawned you set the owner of the actor to a player you want to prevent other players from getting close to and you set the actor's physics to PHYS_Trailer.

hmm. wouldn't that affect the movement of the player the playerblock is attached to? I can't try it out myself until Monday to be sure, unfortunately.
