Coding Question: Changing Pawn Class *fixed it*

[T-Bone7]

I'm porting my mutator from ut2003 to 04 and need to use my own pawn class. Yes, I know it breaks compatability with other things, but it cannot be helped, this is the only way to do it. The method I used for 03, changing xPlayer's default PawnClass, doesn't work anymore. Is it possible at all anymore without having to make a different gametype?

You should be able to change it in ModifyPlayer of the mut, can you post the code where your trying to change it?

well, I was trying to change xPlayer's default pawnclass in postbeginplay.

Code: Select all

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
	Class'xGame.xPlayer'.Default.PawnClass=Class'InstantCombo2004.ICPawn';
	Class'UnrealGame.Bot'.Default.PawnClass=Class'InstantCombo2004.ICPawn';

	Super.PostBeginPlay();
}

That worked fine in '03, but it doesn't do jack now. How could you change the pawn class in modifyplayer?

Figured it out. For those who may need the method, It's very simple...

Code: Select all

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
	Level.Game.DefaultPlayerClassName = "InstantCombo2004.ICPawn";

	Super.PostBeginPlay();
}

Thanks for your help anyway jb, I'm sure you're a busy man.
