More analyses. UnrealEd - SpecialEvent Properties for e.g. Brush5:
Object/name: SpecialEvent3
Event/Tag: Scred_dmg
SpecialEvent /Damagetype: Decapitated
Sound: Sound'UnrealShare.Nali.pray1n'
= = = > > > > >well, its a map features!

Let ´s compare.
Brush5:
SpecialEvent3 and SpecialEvent0 had same sound: Sound'UnrealShare.Nali.pray1n'

Brush102:
SpecialEvent2 had sound: None = = = > > > > > what a mess, missing sound.
SpecialEvent1 had sound: Sound'UnrealI.WarLord.DeathCry1WL'


So, brushes are deadly on purpose, OK then. But wait, there is small awareness of the deadly brushes. Replay of the silent sound “Nali pray/WarLord.DeathCry” its always unnoticed during battle noise. When players died due deadly brushes in the battle melee, they did not realized what happened => for a player quite unfair.

Suggestion:
When touching Brush5 and Brush102 implement new in-game message
“Prayers for Death and Dying” or “Pray for death”.
Fixing SpecialEvent2 sound properties, too ?

 

notes:

should be mentioned MH-3072-FloorWays+SBMod was uploaded without UTtech4.utx. Need to download original version too, otherwise it cannot be opened in the UnrealEd ………….not a big deal.

Original MH-3072-FloorWays_rv1 was released with a file: UTtech4.utx (13.1 MB).

Yes, that damage is by mapper's intention.

SpecialEvent3 and SpecialEvent0 had same sound: Sound'UnrealShare.Nali.pray1n'

I guess the mapper has just copied SpecialEvent0 and forgotten or was too lazy to remove the sound. (Have a look at SpecialEvent's "InitialState": SpecialEvent0 has 'PlaySoundEffect' while SpecialEvent3 has 'DamageInstigator'.)

So, brushes are deadly on purpose

Not deadly. The 2 Triggers, 2 SpecialEvents and Dispatcher are set up in a way that there is no damage if you are only a short time in Trigger3's range (40 UU). If you stay there too long, it will trigger SpecalEvent3 which makes a damage of 40. It repeats that all 0.2 seconds, so that you come to death fast.

should be mentioned MH-3072-FloorWays+SBMod was uploaded without UTtech4.utx.

That file was part of a UTBonusPack (#4, IIRC) so that I published the package without it.

Conclusion: I'll reduce the damage from 40 to 10 so that players with default health of 300 have 6 seconds to move out of trigger's range (Regen not taken into account).
