Authorizer

Actor >> Triggers >> Authorizer

This tutorial base on key mover tutorial from Chimeric site.

When I use key Mover for the first time I thought that some things are impossible with this class. First of all it would be better to instead a mover place a Trigger. That's why I've made this class. Authorizer can be opened when player have specified key. We are able to destroy this key or turn to normal trigger after destroying key. Here is icon: .

//=================================================
// Authorizer: This Trigger can replace
// KeyMover (as base I use KeyMover avidible
// form http://chimeric.beyondunreal.com/tutorials/tut11.html).
