Experimet 1 with kismet

This is my 30 second video of work i have done in kismet. The image below shows the coding i have done in the video. The video shows a simple turn on/off light switches where the lamps are and also a automated light on/off system.

Thoughts about kismet after the lecture

All i can say about the work Jacob has accomplished in UT3 is amazing!!! i did not realize how far you can go with kismet. And i do want to try to do something more extravagant with my kismet work.

The cool thing about when seeing Jacobs kismet work i did not really freak out anymore. I looked at it and did not get intimidated by it, but i was amazed and it gave me motivation to challenge myself more in trying to work with more complex coding.

Simple but sooooo effective tip for kismet

This tip came from the video tutorial but i also gave it my own twist, which is to write on paper a sequence of what you want to happen with each step.

When in kismet you should say out loud or just in your head what is happening within each box. It may seem like something so simple and obvious but it helps a lot when trying to understand a complicated or long coding sequence.

Thoughts so far on Kismet.....

This is a screenshot from the second tutorial. So far kismet has been a pretty interesting topic to work with. It really takes so much effort to really get your head around the topic.

I have found that i learn more watching the tutorials and taking notes then going into UT3 editor and implementing what i have learn is way more productive in learning how to work with kismet.

My thoughts so far of kismet is i love working with it. Though at some parts it looks so complex i find it to be an interesting topic when everything works out smoothly!!!

When i first started the tutorial the video gave me an idea of where kismet will be taking me. Looking at all the lines going everywhere confused the hell out of me. But now after going through even 2 tutorials. I seem to be able to look at the mess of connections and understand it perfectly. Knowing what each box is doing and how it works out to make my scripting work properly.
