FLOORHUGGER and MaxStepHeight?

Post by InsaneFury »

I've defined a projectile with the FLOORHUGGER property. As such, it will "pass over all obstacles until they hit a solid wall (not a raised floor)."

Would there be a way of tweaking this, so that the projectile will also die when it hits a floor, raised higher than x units from the projectile's position? Some high jumps performed by the projectile appear rather goofy (with the similar being true for dropping down high ledges). Perhaps making it a FLOATing actor would help?

I saw this thread, which makes me believe this behavior is not possible. Is that the case?

Instead of a floorhugger, you could try unsetting the NOGRAVITY flag, adding +NOEXPLODEFLOOR, and giving it a really high Gravity property. This should keep it on the floor pretty well. +STEPMISSILE is also needed in this case.
