Shove Item Issue

Summary

The new shove item does not work/do anything if the player is in a player counter zone.

Right now, I have a player counter device (with the zone option on) that I need enabled 24/7, and the shove item NEEDS to work inside this zone for the map to be fun. However, it only works outside the player counter zone. As soon as players enter the zone, the shove item just doesn’t do anything. I’m not sure whether it’s the instigator being in the zone that makes it break, or the target player (the player being pushed) being in the zone.

Would love to see this fixed very soon so my map can run smoothly as it relies a lot on players pushing others outside the zone, thank you in advance.

Expected Result

The shove item to work even if players are inside of a player counter zone.

Observed Result

The shove item does not do anything if it is used in a player counter zone. It plays the animation + sound, but nobody gets pushed.

Hey Ninja! How is it going?

I’ve been testing it and it is working fine for me. Is it possible that you are using a Mutator Volume preventing the weapons ussage in the same place as your Player Counter? Could you share a video of the issue to understand better what is happening?

I’ll be waiting for more details to halp you!

Experiencing same issue as OP, I have a player counter with the zone setting enabled and cannot use the shove item. When I cut or go away from the zone it works perfectly fine.

Hey there!

No, I am not using any mutator devices, only the player counter zone. The shove item can still be used while I am in the zone (it plays the pushing animation & makes the pushing sound), but it doesn’t actually push anyone. Did you test it with another player?

When I disabled the player counter (for testing purposes), the shove worked perfectly, confirming that the device and its zone causes it to break. Unfortunately though I do need my player counter device to be enabled 24/7, so I can’t use this as a fix.

Let me know if the same thing happens if you test it with another player.
