Level Design Plz Help- Forced Jump Destination

[Dragonfel666]

Ok i Know how to make a jumppad, But I want to have a zombie spawn from a box from the ground.

In order to do this imma need a jumppad at the bottom with a forced destination.

Question: How to I make a forced destination for a jumppad

You have to bind the jump destination to a pathnode, a zombiepathnode, or another jumpspot.

Open up WestLondon and check out how the crawlers jump inside the church from its windows, at the back.

Or off of the overhead bridge...
That is the first time I've seen someone bind a jumpdestination from one jumpspot to another jumpspot.

i know about weestlondon....I dont want to copy, i need to do it on my own.


so how would i link the pathnode to the jumppad?

Sry im kinda new to linking stuff like that.

 

[avp2501]

Jumppad Properties > Navigationpoint > ForcedPaths > 0 > PathnodeXXX

just enter the pathnode you want them to jump to where the XXX is and they will go there.

repeat for 1-3 if needed.

Do note that sometimes for god knows what reason after a path rebuild it'll decide that the pathnode you want them to jump to is now the other side of the map.

Check those forced jumps every so often.

I didn't suggest you copy it, rather investigate: open the jumppad and see how they made it. There's only so much options relative to nav points that could have achieved that, so finding the right one is pretty easy and quick. But just do what AVP explained.

your talking about the annoying hella long yellow paths?
Yea, have you figured out how to get rid of those?

 

[driftwood]

If the yellow path goes to the correct path node, that is how its meant to be so leave it alone (because the jumppad isn't just for jumping, it also forms part of the pathing network so that Zeds will choose to walk over it). If the path is going to some other node but updating paths shows that the pink jump arc is still to the correct node (never happened to me btw), then I would just delete the jumppad and make another one.
