I trying to finish my chinese styled map for the competition surprisingly enough i was further than I thought but I'm having troubles with a trigger activated gong I made, the problem is...

It doesn't work I always thought it wokred perfectly because it does when i start up the level trough RED, because thats in single player mode or something. but when i load the level in multi, the gong works maybe 1 time if you shoot the trigger enough. but it well mainly it doesn't seem to work in multi, the tigger activates a Door and a gong sound.

This is how I have everything set up:


And these are the settings for the trigger:


Any suggestions would be very helpfull.

Yeah, the weapon activated feature only works properly in SP mode.
When in MP mode, only geomodding weapons will set it off reliably... well even then its not 100% reliable but its pretty good. Occasionally other weapons will work but you just can't depend on them.

U need to aim at the center of the door trigger but that doesn't even work at times

Yes, it seems in MP you actually have to hit the little blue trigger icon... even though you can't see it lol.
Honestly, I cannot see why this problem exists. The coding for it would not be that much different from working out where a bullet or other projectile hits when fired. In this case its not a wall or player but a region of space.

Yeah
in multi this kind of trigger just works with rocket launcher.

But you could make the gong itself a switch that is activated by players via "use button"...

Yeah, Jan_the_mean is right there. It would be better to just make the player press a trigger button next to the gong to make it gong. You should trying and place a Switch Object inside the gong so that people would see the little green box around the switch to press it. That way they know they need to press something this way.

He wants it to both make a sound and open a door at the same time when u shoot the gong but the door trigger with (Player Weapon Activates Trigger) is bugged in MP and only works if u shoot at the exact center of it.............. or if u shoot it with the RL
