Generic Shooter: Support Thread

I’ve encountered that before with other marketplace items, can’t you just make a separate project and migrate all the files to your current project? That’s how I’ve got around that issue in the past.

This is true for most assets. For Generic Shooter though it has some config settings that need to be moved with it. Without those critical config settings, bad things will happen. Many people make mistakes when migrating config settings (I have many emails to prove that). The marketplace team has acknowledged this is a problem and they are working on a fix asap.

I did it a bit differently, because players are randomly selected instead of choosing for themselves. I branched off the respawn function and spawn them depending on their team num. To solve the wrong character on spawn issue, I just respawn all players on match start. This is giving me another problem though, players’ bodies and weapons still persist even when I try to destroy all actors of their class. Do ragdolls count as their own actor/class? What should I use to “clean” the map of all ragdolls? Sometimes when I respawn the actors themselves don’t even clean up, but I get an animated mesh that persists for however long the ragdoll dwell time is.

Ragdolls are still Pawns. These should be destroyed in 10 seconds as their Lifespan is set. You could loop through all pawns and see if they have a controller on the server and if they don’t, destroy them. I think zuert’s route may be better so you don’t have to deal with not getting the right info on initial spawn.
