need help with boost pad fx actors not appearing in game

[karmic hull]

Do you have unlimited boost on and or free play, training, modes like that? Those will make the boost not appear

[storm whale]

no it was on standard but i tried both freeplay and private lan match and it doesn't appear for both .

[karmic hull]

Boost pads are annoying af did you follow the rocketleaguemapmaking.com guide?

[storm whale]

yes i mean i could try remaking it again i m super new at this i was trying stuff out

i first used the soccar template then i tried remaking one pad following the codered video and then i double check with the guide before asking here 😅

honnestly i dont really know much im just learning a bit from whats out there atm like i dont even know how to make transparent walls and stuff im only at doing mic's right now

[karmic hull]

Ah yeah I hear ya. Boost pads are the bane of my existence. If I wasn’t camping I’d give you some more help.

[storm whale]

no problem man tnx for replying 😁

If you’re gonna use a template i recommend using this one:

I made it so I’m biased but it’s the most feature rich template available

Also, I reccomend using simplesharks tutorial series if you’re gonna watch a mapmaking tutorial, they’re much more up to date

[storm whale]

alright tnx man ill try it out
how do i add it to udk ?
and yes i've watched a few i still have more to watch 😛

[frail ibex]

In the thread I sent you, you’ll see “complexity.udk”. Just open it up like you would any other UDK file

I've been making boost pads all week . I did write a cheatsheet a while ago, but there's a better approach that I recommend to people now

[karmic hull]

I usually use python 😂. Then cut and paste the fx actor from one box to the other because as you know the correct box erases when you copy and paste the whole set of objects. Question though… what if you had a boost prefab of all the objects would they stay linked?

[karmic hull]

Oh that reminds me you can do this with my blender plugin. https://discord.com/channels/711882968200904715/830974155352571934

[graceful flame]

They don't stay linked in a prefab unfortunately. I have a loose concept of some code that could link them based on location though.

[karmic hull]

Have you tried editing the TA to see if there’s something different between that param and the one before it?

Unfortunately I have no clue what I’m looking at
