The "Kick"

• • In this particular instance, players find themselves in an otherworldly place, a sort of "dream world" where they must find a way out of. Death is the only escape.Players find themselves in a very strange place, not normal.

  • Player's trigger the collapse of a building.

  • The building proceeds to fall on the player.

  • If they allow it to, the building will "crush" the player, killing them, and "kicking" them out of the dream world (or in this case, teleporting them to a different location)

How?

• • To create the otherworldly feel of the space, a post process volume was drawn around the entire level.

• • • an orange-colored filter visually separated this world from the normal world.

    • the Depth-of-Field effects were greatly exaggerated to create a murky feeling in vision.

• • A trigger was placed so that when the player touches it, the building begins to collapse.

  • To make the building collapse, it had to be a KActor so real-time physics could be applied to it. No other type of mesh can utilize these properties.

    • A LineImpulse_Actor was created, targeting the Kactor to knock it over once the player touched the trigger.

    • A physical material had to be applied to the KActor. Because it was so large, it would not fall from a physics push by the trigger. The physical material had to create a lower density on the KActor, so the LineImpulse_Actor could knock it over onto the player.

• • A trigger volume was placed exactly around the outline of the KActor building, and then attached to the Kactor.

    • when the building falls, so does the trigger volume.

  • In kismet, the trigger volume then teleports a player to a different location when they are "crushed" by the building. It also disables the post process volume set up earlier, creating the illusion that the player is now out of the "dream world."
