[Request] DynamicPhysicsVolume & PhysicsVolume doesn't have "immune zeds"

When I trying to place a damage area , I use DynamicPhysicsVolume , set the damage and turn on AIShouldIgnorePain.

However , it still deal damage to zeds and kill zeds.

But I just want it damage players only, it should have an option to "don't affect on zeds". But I tried any setting , it doesn't have.

I just want to make a poison area, only inhuman things can't get damage.



As I know there's another way is use kismet's Modified Health.

But it will make the map Unranked due to it can set to "heal the player".


Can you add an option to PhysicsVolume to only affect human player?
I really need that setting to make the map funnier.

Let us know if you figure out how to do it, as I don't think there currently is any obvious function for it.

Also, the "AIShouldIgnorePain just means that they do not purposely try to avoid walking into the volume - they ignore that it's there and walk right through it. It is a pathing setting, it has nothing to do with them taking damage or not :)

As sean said the AIShouldIgnorePain affects pathing only.

There is a workaround for this and I use it on my map HorzineExpress.

Essentially you use toggles and trigger volumes to tell the volume to shutoff if a zed is in it and turn on when they leave, but if a player and zeds are in the trigger volume turn on and damage both.

This way zeds dont get damaged unless a player is in the volume as well.

As it stands though you cannot tell it to ignore zeds as you said.
