SphereEffect

[Leenuks]

Hi all.

In my competition map Ive decided to put a SphereEffect where the teleports are located. Only problem is I place it and it will not show up in my map. It shows in the editor only.

I have messed with many settings of this Effect but cant work out how to make it visible to everyone.

In the Editor you can see what I want to do.


In-game what I get.

If you summon a SphereEffect in the game with a command, it disappears in a couple of seconds. Same here.

This is because of:

Code: Select all

simulated function Tick(float deltaTime)
{
   DrawScale = 3.0 * size * (Default.LifeSpan - LifeSpan) / Default.LifeSpan;
   ScaleGlow = 2.0 * (LifeSpan / Default.LifeSpan);
}

in the class "SphereEffects".

Make your own SphereEffect child and override this function.

Thanks.

I made a new actor from that class and then edited it to this

Code: Select all

class TP-SphereEffect expands SphereEffect;

var float size;

simulated function Tick(float deltaTime)
{
   DrawScale = 4.0 * size;
   ScaleGlow = 2.0;
}

I then set in the properties of the actor under Advanced, Lifespan and changed the 0.500000 to 0.

So far it hasnt vanished so hopefully during a match it will stay put.
