Properties
Property group 'Advanced'
bCanTeleport
Type: bool
This actor can be teleported.
bCollideWhenPlacing
Type: bool
This actor collides with the world when placing.
bDirectional
Type: bool
Actor shows direction arrow during editing.
bEdShouldSnap
Type: bool
Snap to grid in editor.
bGameRelevant
Type: bool
Always relevant for game
bHidden
Type: bool
Is hidden during gameplay.
bHiddenEd
Type: bool
Is hidden during editing.
bHiddenEdGroup
Type: bool
Is hidden by the group brower.
bHighDetail
Type: bool
Only show up for players that have their World Detail set to "Normal" or "High".
bLockLocation
Type: bool
Prevent the actor from being moved in the editor.
bMovable
Type: bool
Actor can be moved.
Default value: True
bNoDelete
Type: bool
Modifiers: const
Cannot be deleted during play. This causes the actor also to be always relevant to the clients for replication.
bShouldBaseAtStartup
Type: bool
If true, find base for this actor at level startup, if collides with world and PHYS_None or PHYS_Rotating
bStasis
Type: bool
In StandAlone games, turn off if not in a recently rendered zone turned off if bStasis and physics = PHYS_None or PHYS_Rotating.
bSuperHighDetail
Type: bool
Only show up for players that have their World Detail settings set to "High".
LifeSpan
Type: float
If greater than 0, the actor will be destroyed a certain time after it has been created. A LifeSpan value of 2 corresponds to 1 second in game.
Property group 'Collision'
bAutoAlignToTerrain
Type: bool
Auto-align to terrain in the editor
bBlockActors
Type: bool
Blocks other nonplayer actors.
bBlockKarma
Type: bool
Modifiers: const
Block actors being simulated with Karma.
bBlockNonZeroExtentTraces
Type: bool
Block non-zero extent actors/traces. This is used by player collision but also by the Shock Core or Spider Mines.
Default value: True
bBlockZeroExtentTraces
Type: bool
Block zero extent actors/traces. These are pretty much all other kinds of weaponfire.
Default value: True
bCollideActors
Type: bool
Modifiers: const
Collides with other actors. This is required to cause Touch()-events for this Actor and is needed to use the other collision types.
bPathColliding
Type: bool
This actor should collide (if bWorldGeometry && bBlockActors is true) during path building (ignored if bStatic is true, as actor will always collide during path building)
bProjTarget
Type: bool
Projectiles should potentially target this actor.
bUseCylinderCollision
Type: bool
Force axis aligned cylinder collision (useful for static mesh pickups, etc.)

Default value: 22.0
CollisionRadius
Type: float
Modifiers: const
Radius of collision cyllinder.
Default value: 22.0
SurfaceType
Type: ESurfaceTypes
The SurfaceType determines which sounds to play when walking on this actor and which effects to emit for some weapons when they hit it. You basically determine the physical material that this object is made of.
Property group 'Display'
AmbientGlow
Type: byte
Ambient brightness, or 255=pulsing. You should keep this reasonably low, as StaticMeshs receive more AmbientBrightness than BSP surfaces and easily look odd this way.

Convex volume used for DT_AntiPortal
bAcceptsProjectors
Type: bool
Projectors can project onto this actor
Default value: True
bAlwaysFaceCamera
Type: bool
Actor will be rendered always facing the camera like a sprite

Type: bool
Manual override for translucent material sorting.
bShadowCast
Type: bool
Casts static shadows.
bStaticLighting
Type: bool
Uses raytraced lighting.
bUnlit
Type: bool
Lights don't affect actor.
bUseDynamicLights
Type: bool
The actor is affected by dynamic lights.
bUseLightingFromBase
Type: bool
If the actor has a Base, that base's lighting is used.
ClientOverlayCounter
Type: float
Modifiers: transient
Current secs left to show overlay effect
ClientOverlayTimer
Type: float
Modifiers: transient
Client inital time count
CullDistance
Type: float
Once the actor is further away from the player than this distance, it is not rendered anymore. Useful to stop rendering small objects before they fall behind the actual distance fog. 0 to disable this effect.
DrawScale
Type: float
Modifiers: const
Scaling factor, 1.0=normal size.
Default value: 1.0
DrawScale3D
Type: Object.Vector
Modifiers: const

|---|---|
| X | 1.0 |
| Y | 1.0 |
| Z | 1.0 |
DrawType
Type: EDrawType
Modifiers: const
How is this actor rendered? For example as StaticMesh, as SkeletalMesh, as Sprite, etc.
Default value: DT_Sprite
ForcedVisibilityZoneTag
Type: name
Modifiers: const
Makes the visibility code treat the actor as if it was in the zone with the given Tag. Note that if you specify this value, you have to make sure it really matches the correct ZoneInfo's Tag property. If the value is specified, but there's no zone with this Tag, the actor will never be visible!
LODBias
Type: float
Manipulate the Level of Detail, i.e. the mesh gets simplified when it's far enough away from the player's view.
Default value: 1.0
MaxLights
Type: byte
Limit to hardware lights active on this primitive. How many lights can be maximally received at once by this actor. If more lights are affecting it, it will pick those that have the highest influence.
Default value: 4

Texture
