Summary
The Prop Hunt Mechanic has been broken since first being introduced. There has always been an extreme limitation on the distance you may place your hunter spawns from the location of where players will be transforming into props. The distance is not far. After this limited distance, players transforming into props will see themselves turn into the proper size of prop. However, the prop hunters will see a much larger size making the hiding player easy to find. The distance in the demonstration video is precisely 30,336 away on the z-axis only.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new project in UEFN
- Place a prop-o-matic device in your scene (not required, Prop Gun works without it)
- Grant the prop gun or place it as a pickup
- Place several different props in the scene capable of being used in prop hunt
- Place spawners
- Start game with at least 2 players
- Go a distance of approximately 11,776 units in-engine or 115 meters in-game away from the player transforming
- Have player transform
- Witness the player turn into a larger size of the prop they selected
Expected Result
Expected result is that the player will turn into the proper sized prop no matter the distance the prop hunter is at the time of transformation.
Observed Result
Player transforming turns into a larger sized version of the prop making it easy to be spotted.
Platform(s)
