Help setting up Gib Meshes

Legacy UDK Programming and UnrealScript
1

Hello guys, just a small help needed here.

I know that UDK, by default, spawns gib meshes (gore meshes) for enemies killed with a rocket launcher (there is a property in UTDmgType for each weapon to activate the gib effect).

The problem is that I did turn off gib on some UT Class (some time ago, I think in 2017 whenever I began developing my game), and now I want gibs back, but I trully don’t remember which class I deactivated the spawn of Gib Meshes :frowning:

Here is my characters Family Class, it’s everything correct, these gib meshes classes exist, and I even deleted my modified gibs classes and replaced with original udk gibs classes.

The enemy is destroyed but the gibs are not spawned

I created my own gib system in my own way, want to know about it? it uses the skeletal mesh component for it, instead of bone breaking.

Hello mate.

Thanks for the info.

Man, sometimes the answer is so simply that you feel yourself as a complete idiot :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Now I remembered, I have removed (instead of commenting) the line bAlwaysGibs=true for my custom weapons damage classes.

Now the israeli soldiers are gibbing flawlessly (and bloodly) :smiley: :smiley: :D, their body parts fly through the screen…

I am thinking on change a bit the name of my game, like:

Fursan al-Aqsa - Knights of al-Aqsa Mosque
Tactical Terrorism Simulation

:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

About your custom gib system, yeah, off course, please tell me how you created it, but in noob terms, because I am still studying and learning Unreal Script.

Cheers! :cool:

I’ll try to make a blog post, but so far you need a “KAssetActor” and then cut the mesh in max or blender or wtvr and then go for spawning a KAssetActor with that limp. And then SetPhysics(PHYS_RigidBody); and much more.
