Horse basketball mini-game in UDK? Possible to create?

Raptor-chan

I'm considering creating a mini-game where the player has to shoot a projectile through a hole (basket). The game would use the rules of H-O-R-S-E, where the player would have to make baskets from set points in a set amount of time. Is it possible to make a game like this in UDK? I'm also curious as to what other ideas can be used to create a mini-game for my level. Any insight/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ^_^

It's all definitely possible if you or someone on your team knows unrealscript. The hardest part I think is actually going to be figuring out a realistic input system for shooting basketballs, assuming you're using a mouse and keyboard.

it should be simple enough to make a new weapon model that is some hands with a basketball. Then make a new projectile that the weapon shoots which is a basketball.

Triggers in the world would determine where the player is standing when they make a basket.

And you'd be done. Making all the new art would probably be the biggest issue.
