Change AirControl per map

[w[ch7465]-w[ch959][ch617]v[ch7431][ch628]]

I was stuck a couple of day ago, with a big space map, Unreal doesn't have enough air control to do things like say, prevent yourself from being thrown into deep space whenever you walk on a jump pad at a slight angle.

So, here's my solution to altering AirControl and AirSpeed for my level.

1. Create a subclass of ZoneInfo called MyZoneInfo.
2. Paste this code into it:

Code: Select all

//=============================================================================
// MyZoneInfo.
//=============================================================================
      
      class MyZoneInfo expands ZoneInfo;
      
//=============================================================================
      
      // When an actor enters this zone.
      event ActorEntered(actor Other) {
            local Pawn Current; Current = Pawn(Other);
            
            // Call the usual event:
            Super.ActorEntered(Other);
            
            // Only change when defaults are being used:
            if (Current.AirSpeed != Current.default.AirSpeed) return;
            if (Current.AirControl != Current.default.AirControl) return;
            
            // These should not affect already modified pawns:
            Current.AirSpeed = Current.default.AirSpeed * 2;
            Current.AirControl = Current.default.AirControl * 8;
      }
      
      // When an actor leaves this zone.
      event ActorLeaving(actor Other) {
            local Pawn Current; Current = Pawn(Other);
            
            // Call the usual event:
            Super.ActorLeaving(Other);
            
            // Reset AirSpeed and AirControl for each pawn:
            Current.AirSpeed = Current.default.AirSpeed;
            Current.AirControl = Current.default.AirControl;
      }
      
//=============================================================================

3. Compile and Save in MyLevel.

Thats it! Although you might want to change the AirSpeed and AirControl multipliers, they are only configured for my map.

Here is Bozo's script which he posted in the Unreal Ed section.

Code: Select all

// EnhancedAirControlZone.

class EnhancedAirControlZone extends ZoneInfo;

var() float ZoneAirControlValue;

// When an actor enters this zone.
event ActorEntered( actor Other )
{
   if( Pawn(Other)!=None )
   {
      Pawn(Other).AirControl=FMax(ZoneAirControlValue,Pawn(Other).default.AirControl);
   }// endif

   Super.ActorEntered(Other);

}// end event EnhancedAirControlZone.ActorEntered


// When an actor leaves this zone.
event ActorLeaving( actor Other )
{
   if( Pawn(Other)!=None )
   {
      Pawn(Other).AirControl=Pawn(Other).default.AirControl;
   }// endif

   Super.ActorLeaving(Other);

}// end event EnhancedAirControlZone.ActorLeaving
