Properties

Property group 'PhysicsVolume'

bBounceVelocity

Type: bool

this velocity zone should bounce actors that land in it

bDestructive

Type: bool

Destroys most actors which enter it.

bMoveProjectiles

Type: bool

this velocity zone should impart velocity to projectiles and effects

bNeutralZone

Type: bool

Players can't take damage in this zone.

bNoInventory

Type: bool

bPainCausing

Type: bool

Zone causes pain.

bPhysicsOnContact

Type: bool

By default, the origin of an Actor must be inside a PhysicsVolume for it to affect it. If this flag is true though, if this Actor touches the volume at all, it will affect it.

bVelocityAffectsWalking

Type: bool

Default value: True

DamagePerSec

Type: float

DamageType

Type: class<DamageType>

Default value: Class'Engine.DamageType'

FluidFriction

Type: float

Default value: 0.3

GroundFriction

Type: float

Default value: 8.0

MaxDampingForce

Type: float

Applies a cap on the maximum damping force that is applied to objects.

Default value: 1000000.0

Priority

Type: int

determines which PhysicsVolume takes precedence if they overlap

RigidBodyDamping

Type: float

This controls the force that will be applied to PHYS_RigidBody objects in this volume to get them to match the ZoneVelocity.
