Tools

• GroupManager Info->Mutator

  • Required in order to enable your map to support groups. The actor lets you configure the size of members that a group is required to have.

• GroupTriggerVolume

  • A touch volume, activates the Event when all members of a group are inside of the volume.

• GroupMultiTriggerVolume

  • A touch volume, activates the Event when a partition of the members of a group are inside of all the linked up volumes.

  • GroupMultiVolumesManager Actor->Info

    • Required in order to setup a GroupMultiTriggerVolume

• GroupMessageTrigger Triggers->GroupTrigger

  • A trigger, when activated the GroupMessage will be displayed for each member of the instigating group.

• GroupTaskComplete Triggers->GroupTrigger

  • A task much like an Assault objective that can be completed when triggered by an instigator of a group.
  • For instance a GroupTriggerVolume, ShoortTarget, or anything else you can come up with! Tasks may be used to reward players, or prevent groups from skipping ahead of a room. The task can be configured as required.

• GroupEventTrigger Triggers->GroupTrigger

  • A trigger, when activated the Event will be instigated for each member of the instigating group.
  • e.g. Let's say you have a trigger that gives a player a weapon, but you need this trigger to be instigated for each member of a group.
  • For instance: YourEventTrigger -> YourGroupEventTrigger -> YourWeaponTrigger

• GroupObjective NavigationPoint->JumpDest->JumpSpot->GameObjective->TriggeredObjective

  • A TriggeredObjective, but can only be completed by a group that has completed all of the GroupTaskComplete tasks that are marked as non-optional.
  • For instance: YourEventTrigger -> YourGroupObjective -> YourTrigger_ASRoundEnd

• GroupTeleporter NavigationPoint->SmallNavigationPoint->Teleporter

  • A Teleporter, but upon activation will also teleport all the members of the instigating group.
