Jailbreak Developer Network: Placeable Actors


The following placeable actors are used to set up maps for Jailbreak.

Jailbreak Actors

JBInfoJail
JBInfoJail actors mark jails in a map and take care of triggering release doors and custom execution methods. Just place them in an area zoned off from the rest of the map by zone portals, and you have a simple jail.
  • Listed in the actor tree under Actor >> Info.
  • For more information on adding release switches, jail doors and custom execution methods, see Jail and Release.
JBCamera
JBCamera actors mark spots players can view from. You can either attach them to a trigger to create on-demand surveillance cameras (in jails, for instance, to keep the inmates entertained), or attach them to a JBInfoJail actor to make cameras automatically activated during the execution sequence.
JBPanorama
JBPanorama actors are used to add a scoreboard minimap to a map.
  • Listed in the actor tree under Actor >> Keypoint.
  • For more information on adding scoreboard minimaps, see JBPanorama.
JBInfoArena
JBInfoArena actors are used to set up arenas in a map (optional). An arena is a small deathmatch-like area in a map where two jailed players from opposing teams can fight for their freedom – the surviving player is set free, the losing player sent back to jail.
  • Listed in the actor tree under Actor >> Info.
  • For more information on setting up an arena, see Arena.
