UT2003 style Kicker thing :WIP / Help needed

[JohnnySix]

I'm busy trying to change skins at runtime, fine with the first skin, but I can't figure a way to change more than one multiskin.

I need to change 3 different skin textures depending on a variable set in the actors properties in Ued. (Basically a team-colour thing)

Any info would be greatly apreciated.

Here's a screenshot:

me useless at coding.



--EBD, usefully useless

I don't do UnrealScript, but ...

function PostBeginPlay()
{
	local CTFFlag myFlag;

	Super.PostBeginPlay();
	LoopAnim('newflag');
	if ( !Level.Game.IsA('CTFGame') )
		return;

	bHidden = false;
	if ( Team == 0 )
	{
		Skin=texture'JpflagR';	
		myFlag = Spawn(class'RedFlag');
	}
	else if ( Team == 1 )
		myFlag = Spawn(class'CTFFlag');

	myFlag.HomeBase = self;
	myFlag.Team = Team;
	CTFReplicationInfo(Level.Game.GameReplicationInfo).FlagList[Team] = myFlag;
}

From that, it looks like there are two classes, CTFFlag and RedFlag which spawn depending on the variable "Team", so I'd guess you'd need Four classes of kicker that are spawned from the kicker object. Where and what the different flag classes are, I don't know

Addendum - maybe there are some clues in the CTF4 code?

Hehehe. Cheers for the replies DeadMeat.

Yeah, I got it sorted using a similar PostBeginPlay function to the FlagBase script.

All I was missing was [] instead of () on the multiskins entries.

Dodgy as hell.

Still, anyway, I've now got:

• Random noises on being kicked
• Decent Skins on the base.
• Option to choose colour based on team (from team option in the actors properies. - In Ued. )
• Some spooky bubble things that spawn when you jump (they weren't supposed to look like bubbles. :S)
• Nifty lighting effects. !

A beta download soon. w00t w00t

I'm trying to figure out now how I can tweak a navigation point to work with the kicker.

Here's some screens at odd angles of the new kicker base.
