Difficulty With Doors

[kemuel]

Hey everyone

Joined the forums looking for a little KF-centric mapping help.

I'm having difficulty placing KFDoor actors and couldn't find anything in the packaged mapping guide to explain how, which probably means my understanding of movers in UE-3 is at fault.

I've tried simply selecting the actor and placing it as any other, but not even an icon on the overhead map appears..

Normally for movers I'd just use Brush/Add Mover with whatever static I want selected and place it that way, but I assume something more complicated's required here?

Thanks for any help you can afford, pending on how the map turns out I may post it up here. Its more a personal project allowing a few friends to defend an old hangout we all know well, but as I say, may be worth releasing once its done anyway.

1 select a static mesh, create a kfdoor mover and set a rememberable tag to it (properties-event-tag)
2 select position 0 thats ur closed stance of the door
3 select position 1 and move(rotate) the door to ur open stance
4 create a kfusetrigger and place it by the door (actor-triggers-usetrigger-kfusetrigger)
5 set its event to the doors tag (if u have a double door name both parts the same)

that should be it now every time u push the use button in proximity of the kfuse trigger the door should change the stance. Also the door is weldeable and destroyable

OR

just copy paste it from some1ns map

Perfect, thanks very much

Hum, doublepost..

The doors are working perfectly, except that the % secure sign on the back of the welder isn't showing or changing. The doors can't be opened once I've welded them, and do seem to register different degrees of security as usual, just can't see the physical numbers themselves.

Any suggestions?

You could go into other maps copy the door static meshes and the actor and paste them. If you copy more than 1 set of doors go into the events in the properties and change around the event tags and such to match the actor

Update number three, whee..

The doors are in and working fine, except 90% of the time one of the two doors in all the sets will smash the second you start welding.

The support so far's been great, any ideas whats up now?

[manhunt0r]

did u set the same tag for both doors?

[kemuel]

Yeah. They open and close fine, its just welding.

I've seen it happen on other maps too, one door will just consistently break as soon as you start welding it.

[[AM]Echo 419]

Does it happen rarely or is it every time you load the map? Because on some of the maps it only happens once in awhile

That is a KillingFloor bug I believe, not a mapping issue.

ok
