Legacy:TriggeredZonePropertyChanger/Code

Actor >> TriggeredZonePropertyChanger

//   This trigger allows mappers to change some of the zone properties using a trigger.
//   The specific case this class was written for was to enable a switchable "escalator"
//   zone to be created, where the escalator could move in two directions at once.
//
//   The Zone property changer is a one way assignment of values.  It will change the
//   properties of its target zone once.  In order to revert them back to their original
//   values an additional Zone property changer object would be required (possibly triggered
//   by a round robin trigger).
//

Naked Monster: You can add another zone flag to make it work for water zones as well. However there is a limitation on doing that, you cannot trigger water zone to TRUE while you are in that zone, otherwise you get that "spawned in water zone" bug.

MythOpus: Hold an array of all the current players in the zone at change time and stop them from getting the bug/?

Naked Monster: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Rising_Water_(UT) It seems that to make it work wih water zones you need to add some more code to set up the physics of all actors inside that zone.
