Why not just make a special (golden) zombie part under Loot in the hierarchy and then add a CorpsePart link to it in the M-ZombieParts metaprop.
I have been playing around with the idea based on rewarding the player with kill loot. They take out an ai, and using a corpse part that was pre-created in a blue room so they are concrete loot objects. What do I do to make these corpse part loot objects reliable, so they will always appear, and to make them drop down to the ground after the ai is destroyed ? This will be a part of the 1stLoot count. Unless you think that special loot would be less risky. Any knoweldge out there ?
Thanks !

Thanks Larry, this sounds good !Originally Posted by LarryG
Thanks Larry, I hadn't thought of Zombies, as I would worry about the loot flying into a wall or something similar, then the player may not be able to find it. I was thinking more on the lines of the fire arrow dropping to the ground when a fireshadow was destroyed. I think I have the gravity figured on the special loot so it drops straight down to the ground. I the past, my corpse parts just hung in the air like magic.
You need to use a Sphere model type and make sure Location, Rotation are not checked so they fall to the ground when they're created.I the past, my corpse parts just hung in the air like magic.
Thanks Russ, I will try that.
Maybe a golden heart or liver or bone (we already have the golden bones, no?)
The ZombieKaboom (SFX > SplashFX > ZombieKaboom) (or maybe it's the DelayZomKaboom which is a corpse part in M-ZombieParts ... yeah, I think that's the one) is the culprit for scattering the zombie parts. I don't know what you want to do about that, but I personally think that searching for the gold which was scattered might not be a bad thing.
I am still having the same problem I did years back trying this. Some of the loot is not being rendered visible when hitting ground. You have to blind frob for it. Any suggestions I could try to make it 100 percent doable for Loot's sake? okay then, if not, then For Petes Sake?
Try a larger radius. It may take several tries to get it just right.
Thanks Larry, I had 2 loot objects that I had to eliminate, just plain buggy, but I still have three that prove themselves to be reliable. I will still add more loot, to allow for missing loot if something went wrong in game after release. Now, I am on a hunt to find replacements for the 2 bad objects.
How the zomnbie kaboom works is it blasts anything spawnwed before it in the list.
So you could have:
zombie parts 1-4
kaboom
gold heart
and the heart SHOULD just drop, even though all the fleshy parts scattered.
It might not drop, in which case you could make a mini kaboom and spawn it last. Youd basically be giving it a very minor force just to move. The regulkar kaboom is quite a bit of force.
Thanks for the info Schwaa ! Just to let you know, I am really enjoying all of your custom made objects !
