User:Wormbo/OnslaughtSpecials

The Onslaught Specials package contains some improved versions of Onslaught-specific actors. Below is a list of placeable actors and their new properties.

See this thread at the Omnip)o(tentS Forums for download and an example map.

General usage considerations

I recommend embedding the package in your map via the command load file=OnslaughtSpecials2.u package=myLevel at the UnrealEd console. Make sure it is not yet loaded when you use that command.

For consistency you should use ONSPowerCoreSpecial and ONSPowerNodeSpecial for either all or none of your power cores and nodes. The other classes have been generalized as much as possible, so they will also work correctly without the special power cores/nodes.

Credits

Thanks go out to:

• Crusha K. Rool who started to create a bunch of useful mapping tools and not only inspired me to create this package, but also forwarded useful feedback from testers.
• iwanpompier who wrote the DirectionalNode, a power node class that works correctly even if not placed upright.

Class descriptions

ACTION_DamagePowerNode

Object >> ScriptedAction >> ACTION_DamagePowerNode (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

Damages a power node or core directly, even if it is protected or belongs to the instigator's team.

bAttackNotification

Type: bool

Whether to generate the regular attack notifications. (radar map, announcement)

Default value: True

DamageAmount

Type: int

How much health to remove from the node or core.

Default value: 100

NodeTag

Type: name

The node/core Tag name. Only the first matching node or core is damaged.

ACTION_IfNodeShielded

Object >> ScriptedAction >> ACTION_IfNodeShielded (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

Enters the following section only if the specified node is shielded.

NodeTag

Type: name

The node/core Tag name. Only the first matching node or core is checked.

ACTION_IfSidesSwapped

Object >> ScriptedAction >> ACTION_IfSidesSwapped (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

Enters the following section only if sides are switched on an Onslaught map.

bSidesSwitched

Type: bool

Whether the section should be executed when sides are swapped or when they are not.

Default value: True

ForcedDirVolume

Object >> Actor >> Brush >> PhysicsVolume >> ForcedDirVolume (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

This class in other games:

UDK, UT3

A simple port of the UT3 ForcedDirVolume. Since it doesn't support blocking other types of actors it is suggested to combine it with a BlockingVolume (or HitScanBlockingVolume) with bClassBlocker set to True and BlockedClasses containing UnrealPawn, PlayerController and Projectile (or at least TranslocatorBeacon) and whatever else mustn't enter that area.

bDenyExit

Type: bool

If set, drivers will not be able to exit the vehicle while it is affected by the volume.

bDontBlockRedeemers

Type: bool

If set, guided Redeemer missiles are allowed to pass through the volume unaffected. (default: False)

TypeToForce

Type: class<ONSVehicle>

The vehicle class to affect. Vehicles of this class or any subclass will be pushed by the volume. Set to None to disable effects on vehicles. (default: ONSVehicle)

VehiclePushDir

Type: vector

The push direction. Unfortunately there's no way to visualize this in the editor.

Alternatively you can set this to zero and modify Movement->Rotation instead. This will rotate the entire volume, but if you set Advanced->bDirectional=True you get an arrow at the volume's origin that points in the push direction.

VehiclePushMag

Type: float

How much to push vehicles and Redeemer missiles. (default: 4000.0)

NodeWeaponLocker

Object >> Actor >> Pickup >> WeaponLocker >> NodeWeaponLocker (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

A special version of the weapon locker that only provides weapons to players of the team owning the closest power node or core. You can add it to the ForcedCloseActors of an ONSPowerNodeSpecial or ONSPowerCoreSpecial to forcibly associate it with that particular node or core even if it's actually closer to another node or core.

bNeutralIfNodeDisabled

Type: bool

If set, the NodeWeaponLocker behaves like a regular weapon locker if the closest power node is disabled.

ONSCountdownNode

Actor >> NavigationPoint >> JumpDest >> JumpSpot >> GameObjective >> DestroyableObjective >> ONSPowerCore >> ONSPowerNode >> ONSPowerNodeNeutral >> ONSPowerNodeSpecial >> ONSCountdownNode (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

Countdown functionality was merged into ONSPowerNodeSpecial. The countdown node class only still exists for compatibility reasons and can no longer be placed in UnrealEd.

ONSPowerCoreSpecial

Object >> Actor >> NavigationPoint >> JumpDest >> JumpSpot >> GameObjective >> DestroyableObjective >> ONSPowerCore >> ONSPowerCoreSpecial (custom)

Package: 

OnslaughtSpecials

A standard Onslaught power core with a few additional features. Custom node names can be set via GameObjective -> ObjectiveName.

bCoreBeamAlwaysUpright

Type: bool

If the power core itself isn't upright (i.e. Rotation.Pitch/Roll changed), should its sky beam be?

CoreHealth

Type: int

How much health the core initially has. (default: 4500)

ForcedCloseActors

Type: array<name>

A list of actor names that should be associated with this core and not any other core or node. Any PlayerStart, ONSVehicleFactory, ONSStationaryWeaponPawn, ONSTeleportPad and xTeamBanner with a matching name or Tag will be affected.

ONSPowerlinkOfficialSetupSupplement

Object >> Actor >> ONSPowerlinkOfficialSetupSupplement (custom)

Structs

TAnnouncement

Describes an announcement for a countdown node.

Sound AnnouncementSound 

An announcement sound to play.

name AnnouncementName 

Name of an announcement to play. This will be ignored if an announcement sound is set.

string AnnouncementText 

A localized text to display on the HUD as part of the announcement.

TCloseActorsOverride

Close actors override for a single actor in the map.

Actor Actor 

The actor to associate with a different node or core.
