Level Design is it possible to turn volumes on and off with triggers?

[etikilam]

if so, how?

Some properties can be triggered. E.g. PainCausing. To do that just trigger them by giving them a Tag and have it match a Trigger's Event.
To trigger specific things, like, say, the fog I think you'll have to code a subclass of a volume.

another question: i've notice that trader volumes have a teleport window in them but that's absent in other volumes. Is there a way to make a volume with that so anyone in the volume is teleported (without resorting to a shop volume)

 

[avp2501]

you can just use teleporters for that. add 2 teleporters, tag one and url the other

 

[etikilam]

you can link a teleport to a zone or volume? I have a fairly large area where I want everyone in it to be teleported out once conditions are met, regardless of where they are. Lacing the entire area with teleporters would be rather clumsy.

You can change the size of a teleporter in its properties under Collision. There is a value for the radius and the height. Rightclick the bar over a viewport and chose Actor -> Radii View. This will make the size of a teleporter (or trigger. Works the same for triggers) show up as a red cage.

you are so awesome, I want to have your babies.

How exactly does this work? Because when I tried to give it a TAG which matched with the triggers event, it did nothing, it was still doing damage no matter if the trigger was on or not.

 

[Murphy]

I think you need a VolumeTrigger for that. Trigger triggers NetworkTrigger (so it works online), NetworkTrigger triggers VolumeTrigger, VolumeTrigger triggers Volume.

I think triggering volumes only works with PhysicsVolume and its subclasses.

Edit: Check out KF-Offices-story for the "gas volume" I made there.

Do you have a working link for that one? Because I cant seem to find it.


Im working on another Portal themed map atm and I want to make a laser similar to that you see in Portal, you trigger it with a button and it will turn on for a short duration hurting anything it touches. I tried to mimic the laser behaviour on that laser challenge map but I couldnt make it work for some reason (altho I didnt actually try that map in game so I dont know if its based entirely on crushing?).
