Unreal Tournament 2004 Level Design
Custom Actors: DG Adrenaline Pickups
The DG Adrenaline Pickup actors provide an alternative for the standard Adrenaline pickup.
Four different DG Adrenaline Pickups are available, of which you can mix and match any in
your maps along with standard Adrenalines if you choose.
The MultiAdrenaline supplies 10%, the PowerAdrenaline supplies 25%, the SuperAdrenaline
supplies 50%, while the MegaAdrenaline supplies 100% on pickup.
These actors are handy for maps where you wish to provide Adrenaline but do not wish to
clutter up your map with dozens of standard Adrenaline actors. Or simply if you wish
to add a bit of variety similar to what is provided with the standard Health and
SuperHealth (Keg), and the Shield and SuperShield.
