ProcessTouch not called

almo

Hi!

I'm using UDK with UE3, and I have a class that extends Projectile:

class QuadForceChaosProjectile extends Projectile;

It seems to function fine, in that it travels, and it gets destroyed when it collides with something. However, the ProcessTouch event isn't called:

simulated function ProcessTouch(Actor Other, Vector HitLocation, Vector HitNormal)
{
    Super.ProcessTouch(Other, HitLocation, HitNormal);

    GetALocalPlayerController().ClientMessage("ProcessTouch called");
}

I'm wondering if there's some noob mistake I'm making, as I haven't worked in Unreal since I worked on Star Wars: Lethal Alliance.

Update: HitWall is called, but not ProcessTouch. The objects being hit are KActors, so I find it strange that HitWall happens but not ProcessTouch.

I've never messed with overriding ProcessTouch, but if it's like the normal Touch, than isn't it reserved for passing through uncollidable objects--like triggers and volumes? You might be looking for HitWall() or Bump() or something instead?

Or perhaps it's meant to be used when the projectile itself is set to blockactors=false (as in, it travels through walls, friendlies, items, etc)...if so, check your collision flags to make sure you're set up kosher.

I'll check Bump. HitWall seems to be called as well. Thanks
