==About this site==
This site is dedicated to my extensive toolset for Unreal Tournament 2004, formerly known as '''UltimateONSTools'''. It serves as a documentation to the tool set and will explain the effects of each variable in each Actor.

Please do not apply any changes on this site, I will maintain it on my own. But the discussion page can be used for feedback. Or simply post in one of the threads in the countless UT forums where I posted this. :)

==Motivation==
First I just wanted to create a VehicleFactory for ONS that allows the mapper to configure more than he can with the default one. It worked fine, but then I wanted to have even more control as a mapper about the game flow by considering which PowerNodes in ONS are captured by a team and which are not.
The idea itself grew when I saw UT3's ''Kismet'' and decided to create something for all UT2004-mappers that gives them somewhat similar influence about what happens during the match.
In the end I came to a point where I wanted to gather everything that a mapper could ever wish to use in map in this set - one single .u-file that every mapper should add to his EditPackages list and be happy. :)


There would be no use in recreating something that has been done by other coders already. And because we are one big community, I asked other coders if I could use some of their work here, especially such things that exist not in their own .u-file.
They were very friendly, especially Wormbo. Half of the things in this pack come from him!
The Actors from other coders have been renamed for this toolset to avoid conflicts with the originals. Most Actors from Jailbreak have been renamed from "JBxyz" to "UTxyz" (because UT stands for UltimateTools :P), only a few remained "Ultimate".


'''Note''': In my Actors can "red" and "blue" be considered static on the map, that means the mapper only has to think in a way like he would map for gametypes where the teams won't switch sides after reset. If the sides are swapped in ONS, then my Actors will handle this automatically and work properly for the other team on that side of the map.

==DWeather Wind Test==
This is a small VCTF test arena created by MarZer in order to show off some dynamic weather effects that react to changing wind. In this example is the direction of the smoke from fireplaces influenced by the randomly changing wind direction, as well as the direction in which the twister is moving. Furthermore does the map feature Raptors that shoot powerful meteors (so you can get an idea of how devastating a real meteor hail is) as well as earthquakes that shake your view and throw you around and some weak ambient monsters and hail, which may hurt you if it happens to hit you (which is not all that likely after all).

=Related=
Not included are [[User:Wormbo/OnslaughtSpecials|Wormbo's OnslaughtSpecials]], since he maintains them himself. But they fit perfectly together with the UltimateMappingTools, so you should really get them as well. Unless you are not mapping for ONS. 



=Enhanced Functionality=
Tools in this section are highly improved versions of existing UT2004 versions and add a lot of new features.

==UltimateONSFactory==
by Crusha K. Rool, thanks to iwanpompier for help at getting the radar to work
{{infobox class
| class   = UltimateONSFactory
| parent1 = ONSVehicleFactory
| parent2 = SVehicleFactory
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

An ONS-mapper's jack of all trades device. This allows the mapper to tweak the vehicle balance of the match right down to the last detail.
Allows to specify an individual vehicle list for both teams from which the next vehicle can be chosen randomly or sequentially.
Each individual vehicle entry in a list can be further modified, also with the ability to track the vehicle on the RadarMap.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateONSFactory|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UltimateVCTFFactory==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = UltimateVCTFFactory
| parent1 = SVehicleFactory
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

The VCTF equivalent to the UltimateONSFactory. Allows to set up a list of vehicles from which the next vehicle can be chosen randomly or sequentially.
Each individual vehicle entry in a list can be further modified, also with the ability to change if a vehicle can carry the flag or not. This has less options than the UltimateONSFactory but can be used in any gametype, even those where vehicles are disabled by default.

See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateVCTFFactory|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UltimateMover==
by Wormbo, originally named JBMoverDualDestination in the package 'JBToolbox2'
{{infobox class
| class   = UltimateMover
| parent1 = Mover
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

A mover with a multitude of improvements over standard movers:

* can trigger an event when receiving damage (like Wormbo's custom [[User:Wormbo/DamageTriggerMover|DamageTriggerMover]])
* can trigger/untrigger an event when someone stands in it (not only in StandOpenTimed state)
* mapper can define two different movement paths with individual trigger tags, sounds and events
* mapper can specify separate open and close times (like VitalOverdose's [[Legacy:VitalOverdose/VariableTimedMover|VariableTimedMover]])
* mapper can specify individual move times for every key (like SuperApe's [[UE2:VariableTimedMover|VariableTimedMover]])


See [[JDN:JBMoverDualDestination]] for more information about this Actor.



==UTNetworkProjectileSpawner==
by Wormbo, originally named NetworkProjectileSpawner in the package 'NetworkProjectileSpawner'
{{infobox class
| class   = UTNetworkProjectileSpawner
| parent1 = Actor
| parent2 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

An advanced network-compatible ProjectileSpawner alternative mappers can add to their levels.

This features an incredible amount of options to create your own projectile in any way you like. And I will not list all those 70 properties here. Luckily the Worm itself documented it in all details.


See [[User:Wormbo/NetworkProjectileSpawner|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==LockerWeaponsPlayerStart==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = LockerWeaponsPlayerStart
| parent1 = TriggeredPlayerStart
| parent2 = PlayerStart
| parent3 = SmallNavigationPoint
| parent4 = NavigationPoint
| parent5 = Actor
| parent6 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

This PlayerStart equips the spawning player with the weapons from the closest WeaponLocker in the specified range.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LockerWeaponsPlayerStart|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UTKickerTriggerable==
by Wormbo, originally named JBKickerTriggerable in the package 'JBToolbox2'
{{infobox class
| class   = UTKickerTriggerable
| parent1 = xKicker
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

A triggerable xKicker with several additional features:

* can be trigger-toggled or trigger-controlled on/off
* defines directions "in front" and "behind" by its location and rotation so it can ignore touches if touching Actor is behind and mirror the kick direction if the touching Actor is behind
* can cause damage to kicked Actors
* can play a sound on the kicked Actor


See [[JDN:JBKickerTriggerable]] for more information about this Actor.



==ProjectileJumppad==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ProjectileJumppad
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = UTJumpPad
| parent2 = JumpPad
| parent3 = NavigationPoint
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Got inspired by Quake 4 where you can place grenades on a Jumppad and it bumps them up as well. This lets you specify projectile classes that are bumped the same way as players.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ProjectileJumppad|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==ProjectileTeleporter==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ProjectileTeleporter
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = Teleporter
| parent2 = SmallNavigationPoint
| parent3 = NavigationPoint
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Got inspired by Quake 4 where you can shoot through teleporters. This won't let instant hit weapons pass, but it's still nice to send rockets in to clear the other side or to shoot them after an enemy.

See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ProjectileTeleporter|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==VehicleTeleporter==
by KillBait
{{infobox class
| class   = VehicleTeleporter
| parent1 = Teleporter
| parent2 = SmallNavigationPoint
| parent3 = NavigationPoint
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

A Teleporter that can also teleport vehicles. Works in online games and with bot support.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/VehicleTeleporter|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UltimateDestroyableEnvironment==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = UltimateDestroyableEnvironment
| parent1 = Decoration
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

A StaticMesh that can change it's appearance when taking a certain amount of damage. Additionally it can play sounds, spawn KActors and use Emitter effects when it reaches the next ''Level of Destruction''.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateDestructibleEnvironment|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UTTunnelExitVolume==
by Wormbo, originally named JBVolumeTunnelExit in the package 'JBToolbox'
{{infobox class
| class   = UTTunnelExitVolume
| parent1 = Volume
| parent2 = Brush
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Volume that allowes players to walk or crouch off ledges. Useful wherever a player has to get off a human ladder or exit a tunnel while crouching.


See [[JDN:JBVolumeTunnelExit]] for more information about this Actor.



==DynamicPhysicsVolume==
by Epic Games
{{infobox class
| class = DynamicPhysicsVolume
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = PhysicsVolume
| parent2 = Volume
| parent3 = Brush
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

This is a movable PhysicsVolume. It can be attached to dynamic objects.



==DynamicWaterVolume==
by Epic Games
{{infobox class
| class = DynamicWaterVolume
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = WaterVolume
| parent2 = PhysicsVolume
| parent3 = Volume
| parent4 = Brush
| parent5 = Actor
| parent6 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

This is a movable WaterVolume. It can be attached to dynamic objects.



==HealVolume==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = HealVolume
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = Volume
| parent2 = Brush
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Volume that allows to heal player or vehicles inside it.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/HealVolume|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==BlockingVolumeToggleable==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = BlockingVolumeToggleable
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = BlockingVolume
| parent2 = Volume
| parent3 = Brush
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

The collision of this BlockingVolume can be toggled when it gets triggered.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/BlockingVolumeToggleable|this page]] for more information about this Actor.

==UltimateSkyZoneInfo==
by Wormbo and Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = UltimateSkyZoneInfo
| parent1 = ZoneInfo
| parent2 = Info
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Don't get confused by the name, this Actor is supposed to be used instead of a ZoneInfo and not instead of a SkyZoneInfo!

This is an enhanced version Wormbo's [[User:Wormbo/SelectableSkyZoneInfo|SelectableSkyZoneInfo]]. It allows to choose which skybox can be seen from the current Zone (including the ability to have different skyboxes with different detail levels to choose from) and additionally to specify completely different skyboxes from which one is chosen randomly at the beginning of the match, resulting in the ability to play the same map in a completely different environment each time you play it.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateSkyZoneInfo|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==ParallaxSkyZoneInfo==
by Party Boy
{{infobox class
| class   = ParallaxSkyZoneInfo
| parent1 = SkyZoneInfo
| parent2 = ZoneInfo
| parent3 = Info
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Moves the skybox around with the players view in order to simulate a distant environment like in UT3 instead of one that is static and infinitely far away. A skybox must be set up to match certain requirements since the actualy SkyZoneInfo is moving around in the skybox and thereby could pass through StaticMeshes (also fog rings) that are placed in traditional skyboxes.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ParallaxSkyZoneInfo|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UltimateRadarMap==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = UltimateRadarMap
| parent1 = Info
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Place this Actor in the map to be able to display an ONSlaught-like RadarMap in the HUD in any gametype you wish.

Supported are CTF gametypes (CTF, CTF4, VCTF), BR gametypes (BR, BR4, Bombing Spree Mutator), Domination (DOM, Triple Domination) and Assault. Supported means, that those will display the GameObjectives properly for that gametype. Unsupported gametypes can still be set to show all currently active GameObjectives or just simply show the RadarMap to give some feedback about your location.

In order to display a RadarMap you have to set one up in the LevelProperties as you would do in ONS.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateRadarMap|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==UltimateRadarMapMarker==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = UltimateRadarMapMarker
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = Info
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Draws a texture on the radar map, representing the location and rotation of this Actor.
Can be turned on and off with triggering.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateRadarMapMarker|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==EnhancedLevelGameRules==
created mainly by Wormbo
{{infobox class
| class   = EnhancedLevelGameRules
| parent1 = LevelGameRules
| parent2 = Info
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Additionally to the functionality of the normal LevelGameRules, this one can also forbid certain Mutators in the map. That way can a leveldesigner override the Server Mutators completely.

However, in order to prevent major abuse, this Actor will not disable Mutators with the GroupName 'Security', like Anti-TCC, UTSecure, etc.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/EnhancedLevelGameRules|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



=Trigger Systems=
Tools in this section are used to add more functionality and control to the Trigger system of the Unreal Engine.

==LevelLoadedTrigger==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = LevelLoadedTrigger
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = Triggers
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Triggers the default Event as soon as the level is loaded and triggers the ResetEvent when the round ended and is reset.



==PlayerCountTrigger==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = PlayerCountTrigger
| parent1 = Triggers
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Triggers an Event when at least so many players are in the game as specified here.
Untriggers it when the PlayerCount shrinks below the specified amount again.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/PlayerCountTrigger|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==VolumeUnTrigger==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = VolumeUnTrigger
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = VolumeTrigger
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Same functionality as VolumeTrigger, but can ADDITIONALLY untrigger
a Volume when this gets untriggered.
Only the BlockingVolumeToggleable and the HealVolume supports untriggering for now!



==EventGate==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = EventGate
| parent1 = Triggers
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

The abstract base class of all custom Actors that handle TriggerEvents and UnTriggerEvents. All subclasses have collision disabled because they only depend on triggering.



==LogicGate==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = LogicGate
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

The abstract base class of all logic gates. The only purpose of this class is to group the subclasses.


The following subclasses exist:

[[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LogicGate#LogicalNOT|LogicalNOT]]

[[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LogicGate#LogicalOR|LogicalOR]]

[[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LogicGate#LogicalAND|LogicalAND]]

[[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LogicGate#LogicalNOR|LogicalNOR]]

[[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LogicGate#LogicalNAND|LogicalNAND]]

[[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/LogicGate#LogicalXOR|LogicalXOR]]



==UnTriggerEventGate==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = UnTriggerEventGate
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

This actor turns the incoming UnTriggerEvents into TriggerEvents or the other way around.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UnTriggerEventGate|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==RandomEventGate==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = RandomEventGate
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Triggers the next Event with a probability that can be defined by the mapper.
You can also set an alternative Event that is used instead, if the other one is not chosen.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/RandomEventGate|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==CountdownEventGate==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = CountdownEventGate
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Waits a certain time before triggering the next Event.
If the Actor gets untriggered in that time, the countdown stops.
There is a ToleranceTime in which the event can be triggered again after being disabled to
continue the current countdown.

The current countdown state can be broadcasted to the HUD.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/CountdownEventGate|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==VIPlayerEventGate==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = VIPlayerEventGate
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

This receives an incoming (Un)TriggerEvent and performs several checks about the Instigator of this Event. It will (un)trigger the next Event, depending on what the result of the check is.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/VIPlayerEventGate|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==NodeEventDirector==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = NodeEventDirector
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

This Actor receives the three Events of an ONSPowerNode and interprets the current state of the node from this information. The Actor can then fire Trigger- or UnTrigger-Events when the state of the Node changes.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/NodeEventDirector|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==InstigatorModifier==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = InstigatorModifier
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Changes the properties of the Pawn that triggered the Event to the specified ones.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/InstigatorModifier|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==ScoreContainer==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = ScoreContainer
| customparent1 = EventGate
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

This section handles four Actors that are all related to implementing a custom score system in maps, allowing to create an RTS-like resource system or simply doing addition and subtraction based event triggering.

See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ScoreContainer|this page]] for more information about these Actors.



=ScriptedActions=
This section lists new ScriptedActions that are available in ScriptedTriggers when this toolset is used.

==ACTION_IfInstigatorTeam==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ACTION_IfInstigatorTeam
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ScriptedAction
| parent2 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Enters the following section only if the instigator of the Event belongs to the specified team.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ACTION_IfInstigatorTeam|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==ACTION_IfLinksetup==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ACTION_IfLinksetup
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ScriptedAction
| parent2 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Enters the following section only if the currently active linksetup is specified in this Action's array
and this is an ONS map.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ACTION_IfLinksetup|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==ACTION_IfPlayerCount==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ACTION_IfPlayerCount
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ScriptedAction
| parent2 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Enters the following section only if at least a specific number of players
is in the match.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/ACTION_IfPlayerCount|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==ACTION_UnTriggerEvent==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = Action_UNTRIGGEREVENT
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ACTION_TriggerEvent
| parent2 = ScriptedAction
| parent3 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Nothing special, really. Basically the same as ACTION_TriggerEvent, just that this untriggers the specified Event instead of triggering it.



==ACTION_VolumeTrigger==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ACTION_VolumeTrigger
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ScriptedAction
| parent2 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Isn't it much better to have this in a ScriptedTrigger instead of having a dedicated Actor just for the purpose of triggering Volumes?



==ACTION_VolumeUnTrigger==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = ACTION_VolumeUnTrigger
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ScriptedAction
| parent2 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Do I have to say anything? Maybe that there is basically no Volume out there that reacts on untriggering, except for my BlockingVolumeToggleable. Maybe I'll add more.



==UTAction_WaitForCondition==
by Wormbo
{{infobox class
| class = UTAction_WaitForCondition
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = LatentScriptedAction
| parent2 = ScriptedAction
| parent3 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Waits until a TriggeredCondition has a certain value. Completes either
instantly when the condition is matched or waits until the condition stays in
that state for a specified duration.



=Pickups=
Some additional pickups that mappers can use.

==SuperShockWeaponBase==
{{infobox class
| class = SuperShockWeaponBase
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = xWeaponBase
| parent2 = xPickUpBase
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

A simple xWeaponBase that has the SuperShockRifle set in the DefaultProperties
because you can't select it just from the dropdown menu.
Use and place it wisely, nobody likes unfair and frustrating maps. But ONS-BiggerBeerBattle would not nearly as fun and exciting without it.



==MegaShieldPack==
{{infobox class
| class = MegaShieldPack
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = SuperShieldPack
| parent2 = ShieldPickup
| parent3 = TournamentPickup
| parent4 = Pickup
| parent5 = Actor
| parent6 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Provides the player with 150 armor points instead of just 100.
Additionally it's directly placeable in a map, though a
PickupBase is recommended to be used.

It looks exactly like the SuperShieldPickup, just that it has a dark green shader instead of an orange one.



==UDamagePack_Prolonged==
{{infobox class
| class = UDamagePack_Prolonged
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = UDamagePack
| parent2 = TournamentPickup
| parent3 = Pickup
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Lasts 45 seconds instead of just 30 and uses a white-greyish shader for better
distinction. Additionally it's directly placeable in a map, though a
PickupBase is recommended to be used.



=Fix=
These are community fixes for original stuff from the game that is not properly working in some scenarios.

==UTAction_WaitForEvent==
by Wormbo
{{infobox class
| class = UTAction_WaitForEvent
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ACTION_WaitForEvent
| parent2 = LatentScriptedAction
| parent3 = ScriptedAction
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Works around a bug in ScriptedController which causes the ScriptedSequence
to skip over actions if the event of an Action_WaitForEvent is triggered
more than once in the same tick.



==UTAction_WaitOnlyForTimer==
by Wormbo
{{infobox class
| class = UTAction_WaitOnlyForTimer
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = ACTION_WaitForTimer
| parent2 = LatentScriptedAction
| parent3 = ScriptedAction
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Waits exclusively for timer and unlike its superclass NOT for triggering.



==UTMaterialTrigger==
by Wormbo, originally named JBMaterialTrigger in the package 'JBToolbox'
{{infobox class
| class   = UTMaterialTrigger
| parent1 = MaterialTrigger
| parent2 = Triggers
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

MaterialTrigger that works properly in network games and also allows to reset materials.


See [[JDN:JBMaterialTrigger]] for more information about this Actor.



==UTEmitterClientTriggerable==
by Wormbo, originally named JBEmitterClientTriggerable in the package 'JBToolbox'
{{infobox class
| class   = UTEmitterClientTriggerable
| parent1 = Emitter
| parent2 = Actor
| parent3 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Emitter that properly propagates Trigger() events to clients in network games. Otherwise it like a regular Emitter Actor.


See [[JDN:JBEmitterClientTriggerable]] for more information about this Actor.

==OnlineCameraTextureClient==

{{infobox class
| class   = OnlineCameraTextureClient
| parent1 = CameraTextureClient
| parent2 = Info
| parent3 = Actor

| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

Works exactly the same way as a normal CameraTextureClient, just that this one will also display dynamic Actors in netplay.

However, the camera will not change the way how an Actor is considered relevant to the local client, that means you can only see things on the camera that are relevant to you at that time. See [[udn2:ReplicationDeObfuscation|Relevant Actors]] to find out how an Actor gets relevant and [http://www.angelmapper.com/gamedev/tutorials/securitycamera.htm Angel Mapper's Tutorial] to find out how to set up a Security Cam.



==NetworkImportanceVolume==

{{infobox class
| class   = NetworkImportanceVolume
| parent1 = Volume
| parent2 = Brush
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2

}}
{{infobox class
| class   = NetworkLinkedClientVolume
| parent1 = Volume
| parent2 = Brush
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

A Volume that forces any Actor inside it to be always relevant to the client for replication. Once the Actor leaves the Volume it will use it's default settings to determine the relevancy. This allows OnlineCameraTextureClients to display Actors that the client actually don't know about.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/NetworkImportanceVolume|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



==KarmaWakingVolume==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class   = KarmaWakingVolume
| parent1 = Volume
| parent2 = Brush
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| game    = UT2004
| engine  = UE2
| custom  = yes
}}

This Volume causes every Pawn or KActor subclasses in Phys_Karma or Phys_KarmaRagdoll state to perform their Karma calculations on every Tick instead of falling "asleep" if they aren't occupied by a player or waked by damage.

The purpose of this Volume is to enclose the area in which a Vehicle or KActor can be on a Mover, for example a vehicle lift. That will allow the lift to properly move the vehicle while it normally would simply stay at it's old location.

Use this only where it's necessary as it adds a constant strain of all enclosed Karma objects on the performance instead of using the automatic optimization.

=Mapping Assistance=
These tools are not really noticeable ingame but make a mapper's life a bit easier.

==PIEDPlayerStart==
by Crusha K. Rool
{{infobox class
| class = PIEDPlayerStart
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = PlayerStart
| parent2 = SmallNavigationPoint
| parent3 = NavigationPoint
| parent4 = Actor
| parent5 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

Placing one of these in the map will force the player to spawn at it,
disabling all other PlayerStarts in the meanwhile. That way can you quickly
check a certain position ingame during mapping without needing to walk there
from the regular startpoints all the time.
Just make sure to remove this when you are done.



==CullDistanceVolume==
by Crusha K. Rool, inspired by Epic
{{infobox class
| class = CullDistanceVolume
| game = UT2004
| engine = UE2
| parent1 = Volume
| parent2 = Brush
| parent3 = Actor
| parent4 = Object
| custom = yes
}}

This catches up the idea of the CullDistanceVolume from UT3: At the beginning
of the match, all StaticMeshes are checked if their BoundingSphere's diameter
is smaller than the values in this array. Then they automatically get the
CullDistance set from these properties that match their size, thus allow to
quickly set up performance enhancements for the whole map.


See [[User:Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/CullDistanceVolume|this page]] for more information about this Actor.



=Misc=
Helper classes that are shared by some scripts. It's not relevant to mappers in any way.

==UltimateMathAux==
by Wormbo & Co.
{{infobox class
| class = UltimateMathAux
| game = UT2004

| class = UltimateRadarVehicleLRI
| game = UT2004

}}

A linked list of ReplicationInfos that tell the radar the position of tracked vehicles.

{{infobox class
| class = VehicleSpawnProtectionTimer
| game = UT2004

| custom = yes
}}

Disables spawn protection for the vehicle after a fixed amount of time after the vehicle was spawned.



=TeamSpecificActors=
by Jrubzjeknf (aka Nova^)

These are modified versions of the default UT2k4 Actors that can be set to work for a specific team only. The associated team of the Actors is swapped in ONS on reset, if necessary. The Actors also have individual Actor icons to distinguish them from normal Actors.

The latest version of these Actors is included in the UltimateMappingTools package.


See [[User:Jrubzjeknf/TeamSpecificActors|Nova's User Page]] for a full reference.



=DynamicWeather=
by Mark 'MarZer' Gillard

DynamicWeather is a toolset that contains a whole bunch of Actors to put more atmosphere into maps by controlling the natural forces.
These tools are provided without support, but they are definitely awesome, so I included them. ;)


See [[User:Crusha/DynamicWeather|this page]] for a full reference.



=Assets=
With this UltimateMappingTools.u file comes a UltimateMappingTools_Tex.utx file which holds some Actor symbols that make it easier to distinguish some of these Actors from the rest.
It is automatically loaded with the .u file.

Inside the UTX are also vehicle icons for the radar map that have been taken from UT3 and cleaned in GIMP, so if you hit the "Load Entire Package" button for the UltimateMappingTools_Tex.utx, you should get more icons for vehicles to be used with the radar tracking system than there are actually vehicles in UT2k4. But feel free to use your own textures if you prefer them. :)






=Pending Delete=
This stuff is no longer necessary since other toolsets have taken care of it already. (Blame the Worm, he can feel free to delete the linked pages of these sections as soon as he notices)

==NodeDamageGate==

}}

This Actor deals a certain amount of damage to a PowerCore or PowerNode when being triggered.
