I'm trying to make an actor that can jetpack slam other actors without his limbs falling off, or taking any damage, i already tried upping joint strength but limbs still fall off pretty easy, and he still takes damage from high speed impacts, which i don't want.

As far as I know, it's impossible to stop falling damage (crashing into things included).

The best I could think of doing was upping the health, alteast it would survive more crashes.

Try adding this below the Health variable on the Body section of your AHuman Actor:

Code:
ImpulseDamageThreshold = 999999


It may not work at all, so I can't help you anymore on that if it doesn't. You also might want to set GibImpulseLimit to 999999 on all parts as well, if you already haven't.

JointStrength works differently for some parts. JointStrength on the arms mostly determines how much force it will take to knock the gun out of the actor's hands. JointStrength on the legs determines if the actor's legs can support the body.

I think, anyway. We need someone with more experience on AHuman to testify.

Actually, Jointstrength on the arms defines how muc strength it requires to rip it off, same for the legs.

There's actually a Jointstrength in the HDFirearm codes which defines the force needed to knock it off.

For example:

The pistol's Jointstrength = 75

Basically, Jointstrength define's how strong something is attached to something else.

I think if you increase the structural integrity, they're less likely to take damage from falling.
I'm probably wrong though.

This actor is made out of a certain variant i made of the test material, it's almost impossible to damage.

Its only weakness is the joints (legs getting blown off by explosives, but it takes a giant explosive to do so) and Impact damage.

Set the joint strength real high.

^^The last time I did that my clone's legs it flipped upside down and blew off at random directions incinerating everything in the way.

It was pretty cool though.

Missile launcher clone.

I've got to see this.

Actually none of that will stop the actor from gibbing if it hits the ground with enough force. To make them never die from hitting the ground, go into the data for every limb and change the gibimpulselimit to a million or something. Gib impulse limit is how much they can withstand before they 'gib'.

Well, the Maximillian actor is pretty hard to take a limb off, the only easy thing I find to take is the head, maybe ask permission and base it off from that actor?
