After lowering some terrain below what i presume is the set kill volume on a UEFN blank scene, during play testing my character will always die immediately on these lower levels of terrain. I’ve tried to add a Fort Underground Volume with no luck. I’ve tried to find the default kill zone value to adjust the Z axis parameters but can’t seem to find them in UEFN compared to UE5?
For context, i’ve added a crater in the center of my map and when entering this crater the character will always die and respawn. If i go around the outside of the map where the crater isn’t present then I can run from one side to the other with no death occurring.
Steps to Reproduce
Lower terrain below a certain level what appears to be 0 or close to sea level.
Expected Result
Character can play and walk on terrain as an other area.
Observed Result
Unfortunately it just dies when entering these lower elevations/levels of terrain.
KillZ is currently hardcoded at -9000, so my advice to you is to move everything up.
This is the first I’ve heard of overriding KillZ with FortUndergroundVolume, I set up a test for that and still died when crossing the -9000 threshold.
Hi @EsmeeSays Appreciate the reply. I did try using the Fort Underground Volume which was recommended on another thread in relation to dying while entering caves etc unfortunately no matter where i set the Fort Underground Volume to I still had the same issue at the same negative elevation causing the player death.
Hi @Astrotronic appreciate the reply and valuable information/testing. I also tried this myself and had the same result but was unsure whether I implemented the Fort Underground Volume correctly so glad you clarified this.
As you suggested, I have since just moved everything up slightly which has solved the issue. Fortunately the project was in a very early blockout concept stage so wasn’t much issue. Hopefully we can adjust this in later updates for more creative freedom!
Hi @Hardcawcanary Thanks for the suggestion, interesting possibility. I do have an ocean but it’s set up with water planes, Unsure if there is a different animation or announcement for drowning compared to a falling death but visually seems to be a falling death and ‘noping out’ announcement appears.
Update:
While writing this reply, I also just tested it out and can walk on terrain below my water planes with no issues but its when I get to a certain -z axis that the character will die.
