I am working on a 3rd-person shooter (like everyone and their mother) to learn my way around the editor. I have camera and movement controls working pretty well so far, but I still have a couple of issues:
1. I want to add a targeting reticle to each player's screen, but haven't found a way to do it. I have seen it done on other people's maps in videos-how is this done? EDIT: solved by using dialogues.
2. The camera height works fine on level terrain. When the player approaches/runs over a slope, the camera raises up prematurely in anticipation of going over raised terrain. I tried manually resetting the camera height based on the difference in terrain between the unit and the camera eye, but this did not work (and had its own set of problems). Is there a way to fix this? EDIT: solved by disabling height smoothing.
EDIT:
3. I have been trying to create an effect that damages a unit. That's it. No visuals, just damage, like an attack. I set up an effect and an actor to go along with it, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Can someone tell me how to do this? EDIT: I think I have this one figured out now.
