Auto Jumping

[Spelllman]

Does anyone know a way to force the player to jump when they pass over a certain point? I've tried using Jump Pads but can't figure out how to make them work without a destination node and a ForcedDir volume only works for me when the player jumps themselves. Anyone have an idea on how to make this work? Thanks for the help.

try putting the destination node right above the jump pad, that should atleast get them in the air. Change the default properties in the jumppad to how high they should go (a normal jump height) or

create a pickup that once you pick it up it causes a instant jump. You could make the pick up invisible and place it anywhere in a map.

Hmm I'm trying to test out the node above the JumpPad method, but for some reason my Jump Pads aren't being triggered when I move over them, not even when the node and JumpPad are separated.

Open a stock map like DM-heatray, it has a jump pad to see the default settings. Test the method out there first. By moving the destination node other places.

Create a physics volume with a Z axis directional force, and set it to bounce players up on contact

So I've tried both the PhysicsVolume and checking out the specs of the JumpPad in HeatRay but no luck. Is there anyway to reset your editor settings to defaults? Even when I create a new level with nothing in the room but the jump pad and its destination it won't work for me. I must be missing something very basic here as I've tried it on two different computers and still am having no luck.

make sure the pathnode or whatever your using is in the JumpPads properties under the jump target option under the JumpPad catergory and be sure to do a full build of your map or it wont work

[Spelllman]

Yeah, I've done that. Still nothing. Here are the steps I follow, maybe this will help.

- Open Actor Classes
- Select NavigationPoint>JumpPad
- Click in the level and add JumpPad, lining it up above my static mesh/Terrain
- Click at the destination and add PathNode
- Lock the selection on the JumpPad, click the PathNode and set it as the JumpTarget.
- Select "Build All" from the Build Menu
- After building, Play Level.
- Move over JumpPad with no effect.

Am i missing something in this process? I could have sworn this has worked for me many times before.
