Level Design Pain causing volume only to players?

[avp2501]

Is there a way to make a volume which only hurts human players?

I've tried a few things and they either do nothing to the player or hurts the zombies aswell.

Any ideas on a way that this can be done without needing new code?

I would say it's not possible without new code.

this is possible except you have to make custom code with configurable var's

Code with variables?! Unheard of!

lmao XD

any ways, i am also in need of this, im thinking of making steam hurt the player but since i want the map to be whitelisted i dont want the specimen to be hurt by it

put a blocking volume that blocks zombies around it?
(add blocking volume, make class specific, add/select all the zombie classes)

Not a good idea! Unreachable zone for zeds + damage to players = perk farming. We have seen this in a map, i will let you guess what was the verdict on this map.

P.S: How come you no longer on Steam D=

yeah that makes sense.

i dont have internet or computer at my house, i'm too poor right now.

so every once in a while i'll take a vacation and go to my mother's and use her internet.

 

[Doctor]

Thanks for the idea but yeah it would cause the map not to be white listed D=

I HAVE AN IDEA !!!!!!!

okay so the fuelFire emitter, causes 10 damage
if we changed the sprite/texture to something you want ( in my case steam)
it should work, and have it directional

i dont know if it will harm speciemen but ill look soon

 

[ro_sauce]

I don't think emitters cause any damage at all

Yea as far as I know emitters dont cause damage, they just emit particles lol.
Youd have to add a pain causing volume around it.

=O wrong ^.^ level flame or fire w/e causes damage, so i just deleted the texture and placed it in the same spot as the emitter rosteam w.e the name is, and have them both rotateable

any ways it causes damage and you can set the intervals the player takes damage.

theres a script part in the level flame that says

pawn something something something takes damage blah blah blah

if we chaged it from pawn to kfhumanpawn would it then only hurt players?


uhh the romgsteam is close to what i want, i want to change the size of the steam and make it more focused

I'm working on a map without borders and thought that a pain causing volume would keep players in a set area but you are probably right and people would abuse this when it comes to perk grinding. How sad people can be.

Would it possible for me to make a volume that slows players down but not the zombies instead? Basically the further away the player goes the more likely he is to get killed.

Why not just zombiezone volumes around the map so specimens can get past but players cant?

Just trying to be creative that's all. Thought it might make the gameplay a little different.
