sound cues
Today in class we set up sound cues for events in our UDK levels, in this case I wanted a sound to trigger when my vault door opened.

Work experience - day 6
Description of work undertaken
Today in class I finished making my first working menu using scaleform, kismet, flash and unrealscript. I used a logo from the video game logo as a demonstration. When you click the play button it loads dm-deck. In my final design I plan to have an options and an exit button. The buttons also have two seperate states for mouseover.
challenges encountered
Getting kismet wired properly.
Because the menu is running through the engine, when I loaded the menu the player hud, weapon and character would show. I was able to fix this by going into kismet and enabling cinematic mode to remove the hud and sounds and world properties to remove player inventory so the player would not spawn with a gun.

Work experience - day 5
Description of work undertaken
I began work from making a demo menu from scratch and bringing it into udk, hooking it up to kismet and to get it functioning
challenges encountered
I ran into several challenges, the biggest one being unrealscript, for my menu to behave the way I wanted it do I needed to compile script and drag it into a UDK subdirectory, this proved to be a challenge as I have never dealt with code in this way before. I also had issues with functions of kismet and understanding what each node did exactly.
