Summary

Anything that puts the character into skydiving mode has been completely broken since the start of chapter 7. This includes the Skydive Volume Device, the Skytube and its base variant, and the Wind Spline. The Wind Spline is the least broken out of them all, with the only issue being that your character seems to bounce around the tube rather than being pulled towards the center of it

Steps to Reproduce

For Skydive Volume Device:

  1. In either FNC or UEFN, place down a Skydive Volume Device.
  2. To make reproducing easier, set the volume to be 5 in Length and Width, and 25 in Hight. Also set Enabled on Phase to ALWAYS.
  3. Enter the volume.

For Skytube & Skytube Base:

  1. In UEFN, place down a Skytube or Skytube Base actor (they are hidden but still validate, use an expose all mod or have developer permissions. I already reported that bug).
  2. Set up the spline, preferably a long one.
  3. Launch the session.
  4. Locate and enter the Skytube either from the ground, falling in the air (NOT SKYDIVING), or gliding into it.

For Wind Spline:

  1. In UEFN, place down a WindSpline actor
  2. Set up the spline, preferably one with lots of turns or a “donut” shaped loop.
  3. Launch the session.
  4. Locate and enter the WindSpline.

Expected Result

For Skydive Volume Device:
Upon entering, you should be able to move yourself in ALL directions.

For Skytube & Skytube Base:
You should be put into skydiving mode and should follow the spline in the direction you are moving towards.

For Wind Spline:
You should be lightly pushed towards the center of the spline while traversing through it.

Observed Result

For Skydive Volume Device:
Upon entering, you are unable to move vertically and instead are sometimes pushed towards the direction you were moving in before entering.

For Skytube & Skytube Base:
You do NOT enter skydiving mode and depending on the velocity you had when entering will either just float for a bit before falling down or fall right through it.

For Wind Spline:
Most notably in Wind Splines that have a lot of turns, you bounce around the tube a LOT (this was NOT shown in the video I forgot sorry)

Additional Notes

At exactly 30 seconds into the video, there is an extra bug that I noticed where exiting swinging mode with a grapple glove then entering a Wind Spline before the cooldown starts will cause the warning sound to repeat over and over again until you touch the ground

The most exhausting part is playing along with most of this being a learning curve when most of it is just programmed wrong–if not now, eventually–and maybe 20% of what would qualify professional level documentation is present. Been trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong since… then. All I do is float. If anything that’s a worthless default setting for the volume so… couldn’t really be user error anyway. :x
