How can I delay a playable puppet respawn?

TeamDarkStar 29 de Abril de 2019 20:16

Hi guys, I’ve made an environmental death effect for a playable character, and would like for the puppet respawn to be delayed a few seconds- so the player can see the effects/animations play out, and screen can fade to black perhaps.

Currently, as soon as the puppet dies, it respawns immediately and the camera zooms to it, missing the effects.

Is there a (relatively) simple way to achieve this? Or would it mean creating something more complex (for example, instead of dying on impact, the puppet becomes invisible/uncontrollable for a few seconds and a timer kills them later)?

  Hi there!
  
  It should be very easy for you to do, if you add a Timer into your character's logic with a delay of how long you need and have that between the IsDead output and the Respawn input, and have you death effects playout when IsDead outputs that should allow your effects to play out :)
  
  Let me know how that goes as you may still have some camera issues, but hopefully that should be enough to do what you are wanting :)
  
  Thanks,
  Catherine

  Hi, it's pretty much exactly what you said :) If you look at the puppet's "Controller Sensor" you'll see a wire from the "Is Dead" output running to the "Respawn" output. If you instead run "Is Dead" to a timer and the timer into respawn you'll add a delay as necessary. The player will not be able to control the character during this time but the character will still be visible allowing you to make a death animation for it if you want. If you want them to become invisible you can of course record a keyframe that makes the puppet invisible and trigger that when it dies.
  thanks
