PC [BUG] Modified Global Gravity sometimes reset to default.

[pokerman123]

Game mode : Endless mode.
Map name : KF-TheWhitePyramid (I made this map)

Bug Info : I modified WorldInfo Properties and set Global Gravity to -850, but in wave 17 and wave 23, the gravity eventually reset to default -1150, cause I keep getting fall damage when I drop to lower layer, until the wave end.

Please fix it, if a map is based on space environment, this bug will cause a serious problem.

Just to add that I have a low gravity map and its on special waves in Endless that gravity resets to normal.

Correct. Tiny Terror, Up Up & Away, etc waves disable low gravity on maps.

Any solution planned for this Tripwire?

This bug also happens on the weekly achievements as well. Playing the weekly on a low gravity map turns the low gravity off for the entire 7 rounds.

Let me see if a level designer can offer some insights, because I don't know if that is on the map maker, the game maker or the engine maker.

I doubt it's the map maker as it happens on all maps with low gravity. Once you take a any map and change the gravity in the SDK, the map will then exhibit this problem.

Any update on this bug?

OK. Thanks.

Bump for an update?

It is in as a bug and we've been influencing priorities, based on community views.

It must be by map, if all maps do not have the same gravity - or rather, if some maps may have different gravity. QA reminds me too, that "I can't make my custom map do what I want it to do" is not a game bug they can work with, else community mappers would occupy all of their time. If official maps do the thing, that is a bug they can follow up on.

It only happens prior to outbreak waves (boom, up up etc...)

KFGameInfo_Endless.uc
when special aka outbreak wave starts (WaveStarted -> StartOutbreakRound) game calls for SetWorldInfoOverrides from KFOutbreakEvent.uc

there, in SetWorldInfoOverrides it sets world gravity to whatever outbreak supposed to have

Outer.WorldInfo.GlobalGravityZ = Outer.OutbreakEvent.ActiveEvent.GlobalGravityZ;
Outer.WorldInfo.WorldGravityZ = Outer.WorldInfo.GlobalGravityZ;

Since none of the ActiveEvent s has it set to a specific value, it defaults to -1150 from defaultproperties

It then, when outbreak wave finished returns back to your normal gravity cached in CachedItems.

Thanks for the response. Just to be clear ...

It is not a different issue on different maps. It happens on every single map that has gravity set to anything other than default.

I see. Maybe deleting the gravity override line in the SetWorldInfoOverrides for the special waves? <---- Probably a dumb suggestion as I know absolutely nothing about mapping.

Update/Edit: We ran across something unusual while playing LG Maps on endless mode. Some maps do not revert back to default gravity during the specialty rounds. I loaded the maps into the SDK to determine the difference. Here is what I found ...

When a map is built using gravity volumes then they are not affected by the specialty rounds.

When a map is built by simply changing the gravity in the "World Info", then the low gravity is messed up during the specialty rounds.

I've been away for a while. Has this bug been addressed? TIA
