Game Nodes

Game:ActorGetHealth

This node outputs the health of the target entity as an integer. 

In this example the health of the target entity is compared using a Math:Less node to check if the value is below 50. 

Game:ActorCheckHealth

The Game:ActorCheckHealth node checks the health of an actor and outputs the result on a Boolean output port. 

A health range can be defined using the MinHealth and MaxHealth input ports. The target entity of this class needs to be an actor in order to work. When the node is triggered the health of the target entity is checked and if it is within the defined values true will be output on the output port. 

The health of an actor is checked by using the Game:ActorCheckHealth node and checking the Boolean output port using a Math:FromBoolean node. The input to the Math:FromBoolean node will be true if the health of the target entity is between 0 and 50. The Math:FromBoolean node then splits the Boolean input in to outputs to be passed on. 

Game:DamageActor

The Game:DamageActor node is used to damage the AI characters or the player. The target of the node has to be an actor, it does not work with entities that are not based on an actor class. The amount of damage as well of the position where the damage will be applied can be defined. 

In this example the Game:ActorGetHealth node is used to get the health of the target entity. The health is divided by two and used as a damage value and trigger for the G ame:DamageActor node . 

Game:PlayerStaging

The Game:PlayerStaging node is used to limit the controls of the player 

In this example the position output port is used with a Vec3:AddVec3 node to perform a simple vector operation. 

Game:LocalPlayer

The Game:LocalPlayer node is outputs the local player client ID in singleplayer games. It does not work in multiplayer games. 

In this example the ID of an entity entering a proximity trigger is compared to the local player ID using the Math:Equal node. 

Game:ActorSensor

When enabled the Game:ActorSensor node outputs events on the output ports when the target entity of this node performs certain actions. The node has only two input ports for enabling and disabling it. When enabled the output ports will be triggered whenever a certain action happens. If the outputs are not needed, the node should be disabled to prevent any unnecessary outputs. Each port outputs an entity id or other information that can be used to determine which objects the target entity interacted with. 

This example shows how to check if the player entered a specific vehicle. The Game:ActorSensor node is enabled and outputs the vehicle Id when a vehicle is entered. The Math:Equal node compares this Id with the entityId of the entity ‘MyVehicle’ obtained from a Entity:EntityId node. 

Game:SetVehicleAltitudeLimit

The Game:SetVehicleAltitudeLimit node set the global limit for how high a vehicles can fly in a level. This limit is absolute, so the height of the terrain needs to be taken into account. 

In this example the height limit for flying vehicles is set to 100m using the Game:SetVehicleAltitudeLimit node. 

Game:DifficultyLevel

The Game:DifficultyLevel node outputs on one of the output ports depending on which difficulty is currently set. 

At the start of the level the Game:DifficultyLevel node is triggered using a Misc:Start node. If the difficulty is set to easy, the enemy ‘MyEnenmy_1’ will be spawned. For each higher difficulty setting up to hard one additional enemy will be spawned.
