The case of the disappearing actor!
Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2017 11:39 am
I am currently working on an edit of DIG, primarily to change all default sounds (where possible) and add extra AmbientSounds and DynamicAmbientSounds to make it sound like the mining of Tarydium is actually happening. Also though, to make the map less easy to "win".
I placed the actor tripbomb.tripbombpickup in the corridor at the very start of the map, but cannot see it at all in the editor. That actor is from this package by KaosCasey :

Editor's Dyanmic lighting view
Naturally my first thought was that I had placed it too low and it was "under the floor", hence why I could not see it, so I figured that the next logical step (for an editor noob like me) would be to use the "Search for actors" function and of course it finds it in the map, but there is nothing to see, even using the Top view.....
Editor's Top view
So.... my question(s) :
(1) Do I have to toggle a certain function to be able to see "certain actors"?
(2) Is this just a quirk with this particular package/actor?
(3) Is KaosCasey playing a trick on me - hehe, only joking.
(4) Am I completely stooooopid?
Any answers to questions 1-3 will be very much appreciated. Answering question 4 should be done silently in your head.
Thanks in advance anyone!
WOOF!
