3d floors with "actor hits floor" won't activate

[Guest]

An "actor hits floor" thing won't activate on 3d floors. It will however work when you land on the 3d floor and jump on it again.

Sorry, I'm confused. Are you saying that the first time you land on a 3D floor, it doesn't activate, but if you jump and land on it again without landing on something else in between, it does activate?

I was going to wait on creating a bug-report on this issue, but, however, I also have encountered this problem myself. In this topic I tried to get the 'Actor Hits Floor/Ceiling' on the 3D Floor/Sloped object, but there was no real easy way to resolve it without using a hackish script.

Currently, my project uses a lot of 3D Floor/Sloped jumping pads, but none of them work

You're right. Getting on the 3D floor for the first time won't activate 'actor hits floor', just press jump while you're on it and it will activate.

Also, what the heck? I wrote this topic yet the author name is someone that isn't even registered?!

Fixed.

Waitwaitwait, are some of the actor-enter-sector triggers 3d floor aware now?

[randi]

They already were. The catch was that they would only fire if you fell on the floor, but not too fast or too slow, which was what this report was about.

[printz]

Do they activate when I hit the floor in that sector, regardless of which one (be it bottom floor, 3d floor #1, 3d floor #2 and so on)? Or can I use such a trigger for only a particular floor in a sector?

I suspect it is:

actor in control sector = hitting the 3D floor will activate
actor in containing sector = hitting the normal, non-3D, floor will activate

That would be consistent with how other floor related abilities work (eg damaging floors).

That's precisely how it works.

Wonderful. I might have tested this and got negative results during the bug.

Does it work with passable or swimmable 3d floors too?

[Graf Zahl]

No, 'hitting the floor' being the operative term here.

How about "[wiki=Classes:SecActEnter]actor enters sector[/wiki]"? Could it work as "actor enters swimmable-or-non-solid 3D floor"; if it doesn't already?

[Graf Zahl]

It's not nearly as easy as the 'actor hits floor' case.
