Help creating custom arena mutator?

[Coppyhop]

I've been trying to make a custom Arena mutator, but to no avail. I have a class that extends Arena, which is then referenced in my int, however when you spawn you have no weapons! I see know way to actually define what weapon the arena mutator should use, where is it?

Well I've got it working, except you don't spawn with the weapon, it spawns on the ground below you!

1st - STOP Double posting in 24 hours, RTFM for this forum aka RULES.
2nd - Check "defaultproperties" example PulseGunArena or such - actually some of those have no code it's just a "defaultproperties" switching.
It takes a couple of minutes for doing an ArenaMutator based on default model (writing, compiling and testing).

Then we can speak about options a la 2016 against maps which are screwing up mutators with their "setup".

Arena mutator code is quick and easy.

As an example, here is the entire source for the Arena mutator I did for my Laser gun:

Code: Select all

//=============================================================================
// LoathsomeLaserArena.
// replaces all weapons and ammo with Loathsome Lasers and Laser Batteries.
//=============================================================================

class LLA expands Arena config(LaserArena_RC3);

var() config int LaDamage;
var() config int LaLength;
var() config bool bLaShowLen;

function bool AlwaysKeep(Actor Other)
{
	if ( Other.IsA(WeaponName) )
	{
		Weapon(Other).PickupAmmoCount = Weapon(Other).AmmoName.Default.MaxAmmo;
		LL(Other).LaserDamage = LaDamage;
		LL(Other).LaserLength = LaLength;
		LL(Other).bShowLen = bLaShowLen;
		return true;
	}
	if ( Other.IsA(AmmoName) )
	{
		Ammo(Other).AmmoAmount = Ammo(Other).MaxAmmo;
		return true;
	}

	if ( NextMutator != None )
		return ( NextMutator.AlwaysKeep(Other) );
	return false;
}

defaultproperties
{
     LaDamage=72.0
     LaLength=12
     bLaShowLen=0
     WeaponName=LL
     AmmoName=LAmmo
     WeaponString="LoathsomeLaser_RC3.LL"
     AmmoString="LoathsomeLaser_RC3.LAmmo"
     DefaultWeapon=Class'LoathsomeLaser_RC3.LL'
}

This also shows how to set 3 config variables for your weapon, if it supports any config variables.
