NetworkImportanceVolume

by Crusha K. Rool

Object >> Actor >> Brush >> Volume >> NetworkImportanceVolume (custom)

Package: 

UltimateMappingTools

Forces all Actors inside to be always relevant to network clients. Keep this Volume of a reasonable size. This should be used with an OnlineCameraTextureClient because it makes everything in it relevant to the player, also if he can actually only see the place through the camera.

Properties

Property group 'NetworkImportanceVolume'

bMakeInitialActorsAlwaysRelevant

Type: bool

All Actors that are inside at the beginning of the match will be made relavant as well. This is just a fail-safe, in case Touch only gets called for stuff that enters new.

NetworkLinkedClientVolumeTag

Type: name

Tag of all NetworkLinkedClientVolumes that are associated with this Volume.

RelevantClasses

Type: array<class<Actor> >

Anything special you want to make relevant? Pawn and Projectile should be enough otherwise.

Internal variables

bEnabled

Type: bool

RelevantLinkedClientVolumes

Type: int

TemporaryRelevantActors

Type: array<Actor>

Package: 

UltimateMappingTools

Can be associated by a NetworkImportanceVolume to make that Volume only active if actual players are inside this Volume.

This should be used in the area from which a player can see an OnlineCameraTextureClient. Makes only sense if that area is not very frequently visited by human players.
