Moving SkyZoneinfo

Ready to embed code.

It's a normal SkyZone actor, but it alters it's location in runtime to generate a huge map effect. Depending on the ScaleDown value, the size of the actualy skybox may vary, but expect having to build a huge skybox. With it, endless terrain maps's boundaries won't be as noticeable.

The SkyZoneInfo actor. <uscript>//============================================================================= // MovableSkyZone. // Embed this actor into a map to make things easier //============================================================================= class MovableSkyZone expands SkyZoneInfo;

var() float ScaleDown; //Scale down movement compared to play zone (division) var() vector PlayZoneOrigin; var vector MyOrigin; //Automatically set as this actor's initial location var() name ForceOnZone; //Force this specific skyzone on this specific zoneinfo var PlayerPawn LocalPlayer; var MovableSkyDummy Dummy;

replication { reliable if( Role==ROLE_Authority ) MyOrigin, PlayZoneOrigin, ScaleDown, ForceOnZone; }

simulated function LinkToSkybox() { }

simulated function PreBeginPlay() { Super.PreBeginPlay(); MyOrigin = Location; if ( Level.NetMode == NM_DedicatedServer ) Disable('Tick'); }

simulated event Tick( float DeltaTime) { local PlayerPawn P; local ZoneInfo aZ;

if ( LocalPlayer == none ) { ForEach AllActors ( class'PlayerPawn', P) { if ( ViewPort(P.Player) != none ) { LocalPlayer = P; Dummy = Spawn( class'MovableSkyDummy', P); Dummy.MyZone = self; Dummy.POwner = P;

if ( (ForceOnZone != ) && (ForceOnZone != 'None') ) ForEach AllActors ( class'ZoneInfo', aZ, ForceOnZone) { aZ.SkyZone = self; }

return; } } } else Disable('Tick'); }

simulated function UpdateLocation() { local vector newVec; local actor ignoreme; local rotator ignoreme2;

LocalPlayer.PlayerCalcView( ignoreme, newVec, ignoreme2);

newVec = (newVec - PlayZoneOrigin) / ScaleDown; SetLocation( MyOrigin + newVec); }

defaultproperties {

    bStatic=False
    bAlwaysTick=True

} </uscript>

And a client dummy. <uscript>//============================================================================= // MovableSkyDummy. //============================================================================= class MovableSkyDummy expands Actor;

var MovableSkyZone MyZone; var PlayerPawn POwner;

event Tick( float Delta) { //Sanity checks, the MovableSkyZone isn't a static actor if ( MyZone == none ) return;

MyZone.UpdateLocation(); }

defaultproperties {

    bHidden=True
    bAlwaysTick=True
    RemoteRole=ROLE_None

} </uscript>

CTF-OutworldHold using it. The map limits aren't where they seem to be, can you guess where?
