Discovery Actor

Documentation for BP_QuestMapPro_Actor

Last updated 2 years ago

The Discovery Actor is used to allow the player to discover set locations via events. This can be used to create the open world mechanic of "radio towers", popular in many big budget open world titles, as well as other mechanics such allowing a quest or NPC conversation to reveal areas on the map and even discover locations without the player needing to visit them if desired.
