Level Design Triggered Zed-Time?

Sugarfree · Jan 11, 2011

Is it possible to trigger Zed-Time for a specific amount of time via an Scripted-Trigger? (Or another Actor) Would be nice if you can activate the Zedtime more timed, and when it has most effect.

Like in AlienSwarm (if you know that game), where you decend on that huge elevater when Aliens start to drop on you.

Not that i know of.

Unless you can fake it by spawning zeds in a room off the map and then trigger a bullet script at their heads. might be able to trigger it alot or something

ya this could be a possible way to fake it, but its not garantueed that Zed-time will set off....

How long does the average ZED-time last ? 2 Seconds maybe ?
The SloMo-effect on CargoElevator lasts for about 30 seconds, so blowing up some Freaks is probably not enough for him.

Maybe could some code a custom trigger ?
Would sure be usefull for some dramatic mission maps.

This sounds like something Falidell should add into his custom trigger pack.

We have a part in Obsidian Escape Event where we activate Zed Time, but in reality, We actually slow everything around the player down, then play the zed time sound. So its Simulated Zed time

Via Scripted-Trigger -> ACTION_ConsoleCommand? (or simmelar)

You can trigger it manually like this:

Code:

KFGameType(Level.Game).DramaticEvent(1.0);

I think you can set the duration like this:

Code:

KFGameType(Level.Game).ZEDTimeDuration = TimeInSeconds;

But you'll need to restore it to its previous value when zed time ends.
