Exec Command

[comoestas]

Does anyone have any documentation on this type of command:

Code: Select all

#exec NEW <factoryclass> PACKAGE=<packagename> Name=<newobjectname> [Factory-specific parameters follow]

What are these factory-specific parameters? Is there some long lost info on this? I looked everywhere where I know to look, so now I must ask the community. It seems like this command could have big implications on what is possible with UScript, so I hope someone knows.

You should ask wormbo, he loves to flex his knowledge on stuff like this.

The only thing I know about it is that you are able to import Music into a .u package with it:

Code: Select all

#exec NEW MUSICFACTORY FILE="path\to\file.it" NAME="MusicName"

Whoa SB, I didn't know that one. Nice

Here's another:

Code: Select all

#exec NEW TRUETYPEFONTFACTORY NAME=FontName_in_UT FONTNAME="FontName_as_installed_in_the_system" HEIGHT=32 ANTIAlIAS=TRUE

Thanks guys.

Another, more powerful one:

Code: Select all

#exec NEW MODELFACTORY NAME=ModelName FILE=Path\To\File.t3d

I have used this to import .t3d brush into my project as a model object. Now, I haven't figure out how to use this object successfully, but its there. I might need to use some of the other params.

And looking at the public headers for UFactory class, nothing really pops out:

Code: Select all

StaticImportObject( UClass* Class, UObject* InOuter, FName Name, DWORD Flags, const TCHAR* Filename=TEXT(""), UObject* Context=NULL, UFactory* Factory=NULL, const TCHAR* Parms=NULL, FFeedbackContext* Warn=GWarn );

Just a Flags field, and Parms for most likely all other params. I wish Epic had released the full cpp source.

Thanks guys.

Another, more powerful one:

Code: Select all

#exec NEW MODELFACTORY NAME=ModelName FILE=Path\To\File.t3d

So, this is how Meshmaker is working then?

I didn't know that import existed at exec level (makes sense it exists though), very nice find.
As for model usage, perhaps:

Code: Select all

var model SomeModel;
[...]
SomeModel = Model'ModelName';

I guess you know what I mean by "SomeModel"

[comoestas]

Code: Select all

var model SomeModel;
[...]
SomeModel = Model'ModelName';

If only it was this easy. When I apply it to a mover, if the mover is hidden, I don't even know if it worked(no collision, nothing). If I apply when it visible, it crashes:

Code: Select all

Critical: FMovingBrushTracker::ForceGroupFlush
Critical: FMovingBrushTracker::ForceGroupFlush
[...]
Critical: FMovingBrushTracker::Update
Critical: URender::SetupDynamics
Critical: URender::OccludeFrame
Log: URender::DrawWorld anomaly
Critical: URender::OccludeBsp
Critical: URender::OccludeFrame
Log: URender::DrawWorld anomaly
[...]
Log: URender::DrawWorld anomaly

This is exactly the same error I got when I tried using a 'cloned' UModel object through native code.

Thanks again SpongeBob for that tip! I just used this and it works so nice

You are welcome Although credits should go to Wormbo cause I just read that little secret somewhere on unreal wiki ...

Well I found the list of factories, haven't found out what they all do:



ClassFactory and LevelFactory look intriguing.
