Object Swap?

Imatk · Dec 2011

I want to blow up an object and swap the original (undamaged) object with the blown up (damaged) object.

Is there a way to do this in UDK?

should be easy enough to just use kismet, to hide the undamaged one, and display the damaged one in it;'s place.

in the static meshes properties you can set the damaged one to hidden by default, than in kismet there is a event for when a object takes damage, so you can link that too the undamaged prop and have it set that prop to hidden and set the damaged one to visible onDamage.

you could even make kismet play a particle effect too for you at the same time.

i dont got udk infornt of me right now so cant tell you the exact event name, but it is there.

ah forgot one thing add the meshes to the scene as interp actors instead of a basic static mesh actor.
