Overview[edit]
- Unlike the normal teleporter system the RandomRelocator only needs one teleporter actor to work.
- The player [Pawn | pawn] can be teleported to the position of any pathnode(usually but you can use any actor as a teleport exit point as long as it has a tag name matching a name specified in the random relocator properties in this class by the mapper.
- If more than one pathnode has the same tag name 'TelPointName' the RandomRelocator will pick one at random. This can really help to make very linear flowing maps to be less predictable.
- The Pathnodes are scanned at the start of gameplay to get their locations but they also get re-scanned every 'ScanRate' seconds. If any actor with a matching tag name moves then the new location will be recored. This way you can have moving teleport exit points as teleport points don't have to be pathnodes, any actor will do.
Note:[edit]
This actor is invisible during gametime so depending on how you want to use this actor it might be a good idea to have some sort of emitter or Static mesh as an indicator to let people know where it is.
