Typecasting Mutator?

[ANUBITEK]

I'm working on an event in a PlayerPawn code that, when "UpdateStats()" is called, should tell the current level mutator to run a function "StatsActivated()". Problem is that I'm running into an error when I attempt to typecast the mutator class. I'm fairly certain I'm typecasting incorrectly though, so how would I do this correctly?

Code: Select all

Error: C:\GOG Games\Unreal Gold\RPG_Game_dev\Classes\RPG_PlatformPawn.uc(150) : Error, Unrecognized member 'StatsActivated' in class 'Class'
Error: C:\GOG Games\Unreal Gold\RPG_Game_dev\Classes\RPG_PlatformPawn.uc(150) : Error, '(': Expression has no effect
Error: C:\GOG Games\Unreal Gold\RPG_Game_dev\Classes\RPG_PlatformPawn.uc(150) : Error, Missing ';' before ')'

Code: Select all

var bool bNeedsStatsSaved;
var class<RPG_GameMutator> CustomMut;

event UpdateStats()
{
	CustomMut = class'RPG_GameMutator';
	if ( bNeedsStatsSaved == true && Level.Game.MutatorClass == class'RPG_GameMutator' )
		CustomMut.StatsActivated();
		bNeedsStatsSaved = false;
}

EDIT:
I would assume that the following quote might have something to do with this, but I don't quite understand what I'm reading:

Unfortunatly it does not work. I tried it out myself, you cant typecast (metacast / reference typecast) actor references to object references or vice versa OR (like in the example) object reference to object reference, because Objects don't exist in a map, they exist in a raw UnrealEngine environment. You can only reference to an object of that class by using the "new" command creating a new object instance of that class. Checking if a class (typecasted or not) is NOT none is save, because it's indeed none, but won't get you anything after "if (expression != none)". Always use new command or the dynamicloadobject function for these.

Yopu don't have a mutator there, but a class with instructions on how to construct a mutator. That class only has access to default values and static functions for such a mutator's properties, so you need to tell the compiler that you want to access those default properties or static functions, not the class instance's properties and functions.
