He just wants to scare you, it isn't that complex to shoot a projectile at all. I'll find some time to answer you properly.
Sorry for the long delay, took me some UDK crashes to get it right :v: Since you aren't a programmer, I suggest you use Kismet for what you want. Kismet graphs aren't hard to understand and lets you do a lot of stuff. I decided I would do a little test and ended doing a more complex graph; it can still be improved though. Select the code I attached to this post, copy it (Ctrl+C), open UDK editor with my TestMap, open the Kismet window, click on background and paste it (Ctrl+V). If you play the map, one of the 3 SuperSonics next to where the 2.5D path starts will shoot you if it notices you. You can paste this code several times and reassign the first node to a different EnemySpawnerInfo. WARNING: enemy spawners with "Chase Players" marked will crash the game and the editor! Next SonicGDK update will fix this problem.

New 1.10.186 version is up! Source Code (requires UDK February 2013): BF / PL / TB / ZS What's new? In short: Revamped the camera system which lets mappers change many more params and switch controls types. Added better support for opening cinematics. New Kismet node that controls title cards. Enemies grant energy when destroyed. Hyper Sonic. Exposed many configurable particles to mappers. ExtraLifeTrack, InvincibleTrack and SpeedBootsTrack are now configurable through MusicInfo. Fixed a crashing bug related to chasing AIs. Fixed a problem with gamepads in PlayInEditor (PIE) mode. Many more fixes and minor improvements.
Awesome as always Xaklse! One question - I'm still using the November build of UDK. If I get the February build and this version of SGDK, can I still continue with my level? Would anything be lost?
I bet nothing would be lost, I didn't lose anything from my maps. You can have several UDK installs in your PC, just in case you want to test first. Oh! You probably will need to adjust the cameras, due to the new code I wrote.
I coded a "GenericProjectile" for those of you who need a better working projectile; it will be included in the next update. LINK (drop the file into ...\UDKdir\Development\ Src\SonicGDK\Classes, the UDK editor should tell you what to do)
WIP, and yes, it already works... Design by P3DR0. __________________________________________________ Level by Ell678 (WIP): He deserves feedback, be nice and please him. .
I kinda wish there were some more released levels for SonicGDK, running through that open-world Green Hill or the test map kinda got old for me.
Same. Though I never really finished anything. I really want to add grinding, but honestly, I haven't taken the time to learn uScript. <_<;
I don't know what it is, but I really like the way GDK plays right now. Like, even more than I did before, and that's saying something. 8v Thinking about trying out adding wall jumping, slight wall running, or Mario 64-esque backward flips to this engine, because for some reason I feel like all of that would fit way too well.
Well, it does seem like the level is using pre-made assets for Unreal Engine 3. Haven't really used it so I can't say for sure.
This isn't a GDK specific question but...I'm following this tutorial here and, while the scripts up to the "create a level" video did compile correctly, I'm not seeing the gameinfo that the tutorial had me create in a script in the Gametype section. Little help?
