Interactable Actors

You can create actors the player can interact with, there are already some predefined templates:

• door (has 3 states, closed, open inside, open outside, and cycles between these states)
• doubledoor (same as door above, but with two meshes, left and right door)
• sliding door (represents a gate or secret passage, can slide up, down, left or right)
• light (a mesh with a point light, you can change color, and all other light parameters)
• particle (a mesh with a particle, can be used for example as a brazier with fire particle on and off, or a faucet with water pouring down or off)

Each one has one static mesh (mandatory), which will be activated by the player. MUST be visible and collision query enabled.

To create a new actor in a level follow the steps below:

• Choose the type of actor, example door
• right-click on the InteractableDoor template and choose "create child"
• name your child, example : DelverHouseDoor
• Open it and change the mesh if needed, you can change position, scale, rotation, materials. You cannot delete the nodes on the left tree
• Check the properties and depending on the object you will have the ability to set:
  • Sound on Toggle
  • Interact Distance (distance between the CENTER of the actor and the player to allow him to interact)
  • Direction and Move Distance (only for sliding doors)
