Mutator Question/Problem

[Feralidragon]

I have a question, how to give weapon to a player?

Idk what exactly you want to do and in which type of actor, but this is what I often use myself to give a new weapon to a player/pawn.

Code: Select all

local Weapon newWeapon; // The new weapon
local Pawn P;  // The pawn/player in question

newWeapon = Spawn(Class'TheWeapon');
		
if (newWeapon != None)
{
	newWeapon.bTossedOut = false;
	newWeapon.Instigator = P;
	newWeapon.RespawnTime = 0.0;
	newWeapon.bHeldItem = true;
	newWeapon.BecomeItem();
	P.AddInventory(newWeapon);
	newWeapon.GiveAmmo(P);
	newWeapon.SetSwitchPriority(P);
	newWeapon.WeaponSet(P);
}

and i have a problem... the super.function(PlayerPawn); don't work, the compilator say me the function doesn't exist

thank for your help.

You have to be more specific. Which function are we talking? In which class?

[Feralidragon]

The class is UND and the function is PlayerWeapon

Function PlayerWeapon( Pawn PlayerPawn )
{
Super.PlayerWeapon(PlayerPawn);
GiveWeapon(PlayerPawn, "UND.SuperEnforcer");
}

Ok, but what class it extends into? Mutator, info, actor?

[Feralidragon]

Ah, is mutator

Then the mystery is solved: there isn't really any function with that name in Mutator, Info, Actor or even Object.

That function is new in your class, so there isn't any function with that name in the super classes, so the compiler is right.

[Feralidragon]

Yeah, and where's that function?
Function PlayerWeapon( Pawn PlayerPawn )
It isn't there in that mutator anywhere by what I see.

What I can see is that you might just got mistaken with the function.
Didn't you want the function function ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other) instead?

[Feralidragon]

In bpak is the function ModifyPlayer

Code: Select all

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other)
{
   Super.ModifyPlayer(Other);

   if (WeaponReplaceType != None)
      GiveWeapon(Other, WeaponReplaceType);
   else
      GiveWeapon(Other, WeaponNewType);
   Other.Health = 1500;
   Other.Fatness = 128;
   if ( NextMutator != None )
      NextMutator.ModifyPlayer(Other);
}

So, wasn't that function you wanted to use instead?
Because there's really no function like the one you created in the super classes, and in that class neither.
