[Solved]MH2GoldCTG : Forced weapons position :

[Letylove49]

i will creat a variable for each weapons like

var float EnforcerHand; and this for all the weepons i want to force the Hand position and ignore client settings.




this function must do:

check if settings on client is for exemple 2 and on MH2Base the position of the hand of the weapons has been set 1. the must set to the client the position 1 insteat of 2.

ok i have try this but that doesn't work....

exec Function bool setHand( float Mh2RifleHand )
{

//Change value to new value if the weapon is not on center.


if(MH2RifleHand!=1)
Mh2RifleHand = 1 ;


}

i have added the variable MH2RifleHand on MH2Rifle class

[Letylove49]

ok now i have someting but doesn't work :

if(UseAltSniper)
{
GiveWeapon(Other,class'MH2Rifle');

if(bDebugForceposition)
playerpawn(other).ClientMessage( "MH2RifleHand" @ MH2RifleHand);

if (CAPS(other.weapon)==caps("mh2rifle") )

if(MH2RifleHand==1)
Playerpawn(other).ConsoleCommand("setHand Center" );
}
if(UseMH2SniperRifle)
{
GiveWeapon(Other,class'MH2SniperRifle');

if(bDebugForceposition)
playerpawn(other).ClientMessage( "MH2SniperHand" @ MH2SniperHand);

if (CAPS(other.weapon)==caps("MH2sniperRifle") )
if(MH2SniperHand==1)
Playerpawn(other).ConsoleCommand("setHand Center" );
}

else
if (CAPS(other.weapon)!=caps("MH2sniperRifle"))
if (CAPS(other.weapon)!=caps("MH2Rifle"))
if(Hand==2)
Playerpawn(other).ConsoleCommand("setHand Right" );

}

Pehaps i have forgot some "{" and "}" ???

The hand position must be enforced inside the weapon while it is rendered.

Weapon rendering is client-side. Temporarily overriding PlayerPawn.Handedness during RenderOverlays() reliably enforces the weapon position without console commands or mutators.

Code: Select all

class MH2Rifle extends TournamentWeapon;

var() config float ForceHand; // -1 = left, 0 = center, 1 = right, 2 = client

simulated function RenderOverlays(Canvas C)
{
    local PlayerPawn PP;
    local float OldHand;

    PP = PlayerPawn(Owner);
    if (PP == None)
    {
        Super.RenderOverlays(C);
        return;
    }

    OldHand = PP.Handedness;

    if (ForceHand != 2)
        PP.Handedness = ForceHand;

    Super.RenderOverlays(C);

    PP.Handedness = OldHand;
}

Code: Select all

defaultproperties
{
    ForceHand=0 // always center
}

Try this, think this should work.

[Letylove49]

sorry but that doesn't work.

Your code sugestion:
simulated function RenderOverlays(Canvas C)
{
local PlayerPawn PP;
local float OldHand;

PP = PlayerPawn(Owner);
if (PP == None)
{
Super.RenderOverlays(C);
return;
}

OldHand = PP.Handedness;

if (ForceHand != 2)
PP.Handedness = ForceHand;

Super.RenderOverlays(C);

PP.Handedness = OldHand;
}

// original code: Pehaps i should change it ?
function setHand(float Hand)
{





Super.SetHand(Hand);
if ( Hand == 1 )



{
Mesh = mesh(DynamicLoadObject("Botpack.Rifle2mL", class'Mesh'));
MultiSkins[0] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv5e.Rifle.AA';
MultiSkins[1] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv5e.Rifle.SR';
MultiSkins[3] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv5e.Skins.Rifle2d';
}
else
{
Mesh = mesh'Rifle2m';
MultiSkins[0] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv5e.Rifle.AA';
MultiSkins[1] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv5e.Rifle.SR';
MultiSkins[3] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv5e.Rifle.Rifle2d';
}
}

now that work but that force all the weapons no only the sniper.

if(UseAltSniper)
{
GiveWeapon(Other,class'MH2Rifle');



if(bDebugForceposition)
playerpawn(other).ClientMessage( "MH2RifleHand" @ MH2RifleHand);

if (CAPS(other.weapon)==caps("mh2rifle") )
if(MH2RifleHand==1)
if(Other.Class==class'MH2Rifle' || Other.Class==class'MH2SniperRifle' || Other.Class==class'SniperRifle')
Playerpawn(other).ConsoleCommand("setHand Center" );
else
if(Hand!=1)
Playerpawn(other).ConsoleCommand("setHand Right" );
}

else
GiveWeapon(Other,class'botpack.sniperRifle');

Unfortunately, this behavior is exactly what you'd expect: `setHand` sets the global handedness of the PlayerPawn.

This isn't a "weapon setting," but a player setting. If you force it to Center, all weapons will be affected. UT99 is wonderfully inflexible in this regard.

And your code has two more specific problems on top of that:

Incorrect object checked
`Other` in `ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other)` is a Pawn, not a Weapon.

`Other.Class==class'MH2Rifle'` will therefore never be true.

Weapon string comparison is incorrect
`CAPS(other.weapon)==caps("mh2rifle")` is nonsense because `Other.Weapon` is an object.

Corrected logic in MH2Rifle (this weapon only)

Code: Select all

var() config float ForceHand; // -1 left, 0 center, 1 right, 2 client

simulated function RenderOverlays(Canvas Canvas)
{
    local PlayerPawn P;
    local float OldHand;

    P = PlayerPawn(Owner);
    if (P != None && ForceHand != 2)
    {
        OldHand = P.Handedness;
        P.Handedness = ForceHand;

        Super.RenderOverlays(Canvas);

        P.Handedness = OldHand;
        return;
    }

    Super.RenderOverlays(Canvas);
}

defaultproperties
{
    ForceHand=0 // Center MH2Rifle
}

[Letylove49]

Same i set the configuration on MH2Rilfe.uc that force on center all the weapons. same if it set ForceHand=2 on the others weapons the orthers weapons stay at the center.

For MH2Rifle

function setHand(float Hand)
{

ForceHand=0;



Super.SetHand(Hand);
if ( Hand == 1 )

For others weapons:

function setHand(float Hand)
{

ForceHand=2;



Super.SetHand(Hand);
if ( Hand == 1 )

i have ask to the patch team if they can add an option for that.

i have try to forceHand=1 but that not effet

in this case i would like to ask if there are ways to get around the problem with a mutator. ?

[Letylove49]

Class MH2RifleReplacer expands Mutator config(MH2RifleReplacer);

var float hand;
var int AmmoAmmount;
var int MaxAmmo;
var bool bGiveMaxAmmo;

var bool bInitialized;

function PreBeginPlay()
{
if ( !bInitialized )
{
bInitialized = True;
Self.NextMutator = Level.Game.BaseMutator.NextMutator;
}
}

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant) // replace sniper by MH2Rilfe)
{
Local int AmmoAmmount;
Local int MaxAmmo;


if(Other.Class==Class'SniperRifle')
{
ReplaceWith(Other,"MH2GoldCTGv5j.MH2Rifle");
return false;


if(GiveMaxAmmo)
{
AmmoAmmount = Maxammo
}
else
AmmoAmmount = AmmoAmmount;
}
}


function setHand(float Hand) // set Hand position for the sniper and MH2Rifle)
{


Super.SetHand(Hand);

if(Other.Class==Class'MH2Rifle') || if(Other.Class==Class'SniperRifle')
{
Hand=1;
}
else
Hand =2;
}

defaultproperties
{
AmmoAmmount=50
MaxAmmo=500
bGiveMaxAmmo=True
}

i got this error with the Function Sethand why ?

Code: Select all
