Move existing weapons? Maybe so:

Code: Select all

local Actor A;

	if (FindActorByName('Ripper12', A, 'Ripper'))
		A.SetLocation(vect(-9616, -3002, -203));

function FindActorByName()

Code: Select all

function bool FindActorByName(name ActorName, out Actor FoundActor, optional name ActorTag) {
local Actor A;

	foreach AllActors(class'Actor', A, ActorTag)
		if (A.Name == ActorName)
		{
			FoundActor = A;
			return true;
		}
	warn(ActorName @ "not found");
	return false;
}

Thanks Barbie,

i have the function findActor on MH2Base
and added the code on my weapons ;

Code: Select all

 function setHand(float Hand)
{

local Actor A;

	if (FindActorByName('MH2Rifle', A, 'Sniperrifle'))
		A.SetLocation(vect(-9616, -3002, -203));
	Super.SetHand(Hand);
	if ( Hand == 1 )
	{
		Mesh = mesh(DynamicLoadObject("Botpack.Rifle2mL", class'Mesh'));
		MultiSkins[0] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv6b.Rifle.AA';
		MultiSkins[1] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv6b.Rifle.SR';
                MultiSkins[3] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv6b.Skins.Rifle2d';
    }
	else
	{
		Mesh = mesh'Rifle2m';
		MultiSkins[0] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv6b.Rifle.AA';
		MultiSkins[1] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv6b.Rifle.SR';
                MultiSkins[3] =Texture'MH2GoldCTGv6b.Rifle.Rifle2d';
	}
}

but i get Missing ) in If. i don't understand why i got this error.

It looks like the function FindActorByName(...) in line 3 of your above code snippet is not known. If you want access is from different classes, you may define the function as static.

[Letylove49]

ok. thanks

Code: Select all

 	if (FindActorByName('MH2Rifle', A, 'MH2RifleHUDMutator'))

what i must put on paramettre 3 ?

1= weapons classs in my case is MH2Rifle
but i don't know what i must put in 3.

Open map in UnrealEd, select that weapon, press F4 for window "Actor Properties", and use what is given at Object>Name and Events>Tag for function FindActorByName().

But your compiling problem has nothing to do with that.

[Letylove49]

ok thanks so i have dot that on my weapon class MH2Rilfe.uc

Code: Select all

 	if (FindActorByName('MH2GoldCTGv6b.MH2Rifle', A, 'None'))

but i don't see where ) is missing . i have 2( and 2). why i got this error ?

Maybe an example will help: in map MH-BattleCrypt.unr is a ShockRifle buried in a stair and I want to lift it up a bit with code while the map is loaded.
I open the map in UnrealEd and look at the properties of the shockrifle:

MH-BattleCrypt_in_UnrealEd.jpg

When the map is loaded, the following code is executed:

Code: Select all

	if (FindActorByName('ShockRifle0', A, 'ShockRifle')) // stucks in stairway
		A.SetLocation(vect(-171, 94, 680));

i have open the weapoins poperty i got this:

property MH2Rilfe.png

and i have added this variable : var bool FindActorByName;

and i still get the same error.

i want to forced on center. ( position Left, Center, Right, hidden)

I think she might be talking about the weapon hand position not a certain weapon on a map.

Yes is that i would like to do.

it seemed to me that I had already made a post on this subject but I didn’t find it. I must not have looked well. I will continue on the old Topic.
For the error I get when I try to compile " i get Missing) ) in If. because otherwise I cannot move forward in my project as long as I get this error. and I don’t know how to correct it, so I really need a solution. This positioning project is really important for us.
