Other Actors (Gate, Spawn Helpers, Damage)

Overview

AMIPGate is a travel gate (level transition): it extends APlayerStart, implements IInteractInterface and IMIPCursorHittableInterface, has a nameplate, and holds connected map/session data. UMIPGateManager (on PC) handles overlap and confirmation popup; see Gate. Spawn helpers (AMIPSpawnByPlayerControllerActor, AMIPItemEffectActor, AMIPBaseInventoryExpansionActor) and AMIPOwningCharacterRenderTarget are utility actors. Damage applier and projectile actors are used by the ability system for area and projectile damage.

AMIPGate

  • Base: APlayerStart; IInteractInterface, IMIPCursorHittableInterface, IActorWithNameplateInterface.
  • Components: SphereComponent (overlap); NameplateWidgetComponent. Holds connected map name, session/map type, and travel config (e.g. bConfirmationRequired).
  • Flow: If bConfirmationRequired, client overlap shows confirmation; on accept, server verifies overlap and runs travel. If false, only server handles overlap and travel. UMIPGateManager subscribes to gate overlap and shows confirmation; ServerOnConfirmedTravelGate triggers travel.
  • Nameplate: GetNamesForNameplate_Implementation (e.g. destination name). GetNameplateWidgetClass, GetOverrideRelativeLocation, GetOverridePivotLocation.

AMIPDefaultPlayerStart

  • Base: APlayerStart. Default spawn point for new players; GameMode caches these and uses GetRandomDefaultPlayerStart() when no last-area save.

Spawn helpers

  • AMIPSpawnByPlayerControllerActor – AActor. Base for actors that are spawned per player (e.g. attached to a PC).
  • AMIPItemEffectActor – AMIPSpawnByPlayerControllerActor. Actor that applies item effects (e.g. AOE on use).
  • AMIPBaseInventoryExpansionActor – AMIPItemEffectActor. Interactable that expands inventory slots (unlock); friend of UMIPControllerCommonSaveableObjectsComponent for UnlockInventorySlots. See Player, Inventory.

AMIPOwningCharacterRenderTarget

  • Base: AActor. Holds a render target for the owning character (e.g. character preview in UI). Spawned by AMIPBasePlayerCharacter (TrySpawnOwningCharacterRenderTarget).

Damage applier and projectiles

  • AMIPBaseDamageApplierActor – AActor. Base for actors that apply damage in the world (e.g. AOE). Used by abilities that spawn a damage volume or projectile.
  • AMIPRadiusDamageApplierActor – Immediate radius damage.
  • AMIPDelayedRadiusDamageApplierActor – Delayed radius damage (e.g. telegraph then hit).
  • AMIPMobDelayedRadiusDamageApplierActor – Mob version of delayed radius.
  • AMIPBaseProjectile – AMIPBaseDamageApplierActor. Projectile that moves and applies damage on hit; can use homing or spline. AMIPMobBaseProjectile – mob projectile. AMIPBaseRadiusDamageApplierWithProjectileMovement – projectile that does radius damage on arrival.

These are spawned by gameplay abilities; they apply gameplay effects to targets (player or mob ASC). See AbilitySystemOverview and damage exec calcs.
