Level Design How do you add a KFRandomItemSpawn?

[avp2501]

I have 3 of these in my level and they all work. If i duplicate one and move it anywhere else on that level it's fine. but if i try to move it to a different floor i get a error message "xPickupBase is floating".

To fix this i've tried selecting the item and "align to floor" and "snap to floor" but neither of these fix it.

I've tried the "add KFRandomSpawn here" but that doesn't seem to do anything even though the floor is definately selected.

This is what i've been trying to use. is it the right one?
Actors -> xPickUpBase -> KFRandomSpawn -> KFRandomItemSpawn

Sounds like you're doing it fine. I've had the same problem, and I've just had to manually move the spawn down a few units so it's resting on the floor. You're right - align to floor doesn't seem to work for these things.

Try moving it manually and then hit the Refresh button. It should disappear from the list of errors if you've got it right.

thank you for the tip

i've just tried playing my map with these errors and the item would appear anyway even though the editor made a fuss.

I keep the trigger finger loop a unit above the surface and they've all spawned. Any higher or lower and they either spawn under the surface or I get the floater warning.

My RandomPickups also seem to shift position every dozens of hours or so working on my map. I'll rebuild pathing and the game will go "Opp, that thing you placed last month has moved!"

So annoying.

Also the 'resting on floor' for the item, which takes on a pistol shape, actually sees the pistol embedded into the floor up to the trigger housing. So if you can see the entire hand grip of that pistol, put it lower.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm having trouble spawning random items with *KFRandomItemSpawn.

I have added a few of these around a map at their default values, making sure they are the correct height above the floor with no error reporting on build.

The problem is no items spawn even playing a long game on beginner difficulty. Am I missing an option in the editor or something I should be adding to enable random item drops?
