looking for a coder to help me with a vehicle replacement mut

[Moz]

I was thinking a pawn replacement

Also, no matter what I do the vehicle always defaults to team 0, making it unuseable to the allied team whenever I summon it. I don't think this is fixed by vehicle factories because the team setting in them do nothing, leading me to believe it is set in code.

I do have the default properties set to team one.

Yes I am aware how sloppy it is. I am not a coder. And most of it is copy and pasta.

something like this doesnt work?

class MyMut extends Mutator;
 
function bool CheckReplacement( Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant )
{
      if(Other.IsA('BA64Vehicle')) //i dont know the exact name of the BA pawn, so you would have to check for the correct name
      {
            ReplaceWith(Other,"Moz_FlyingClownCar ");
            return false;
      }
      return true;
}

As for your code: A t60 turret? :P

btw. why did you subclass the wheels?
For the team problem i would have to have a look when im home.

[Moz]

I don't believe I subclassed the wheel, wotreal just decided to add the whole Moz_airwar.moz_flyingclowncar in front, and me not being a coder took it's word for it.

Thank you very much for the check replacement, I tried to do something afew days ago but it refused to compile so I put it on the back burner, I though there was more to it than that so I asked for help :P

The whole point of this project was to see if I could stir some interesting in RO modding, and not the total conversion kind that seems to be the only popular one. To prove a lowly mapper armed with the ability to read (not write :S) unreal script can hack and slap stuff together.

Everyone learns from making garbage like this flying ba64 right? But after I did the videos I owe it to my fans to release this buggy mess.


Worluk you are my guardian angel <3

[worluk]

i would know a truckload of things that would be suitable to learn UScript and would probably lead to a usable (by mappers in "serious" maps ) result
If you need inspiration, just tell me :P

for the wheels, i see it now, the wheels are defined in the defaultproperties of your class. Thats why it is referenced this way.

[Crube]

That's pretty cool. looks like fun.

Back in the Mod days I created a ZisTruck with a turbo boost and it had a
german and russian version. I had to create a special Factory class for it and
I fixed the Team setting. I'll post the code later if you want.

Oh, also, If you cant get the CheckReplace to work you can do it the way TeamSwap does it.
In postbeingplay it finds all the ROVehicleFactory objects and changes their VehicleClass when appropriate.

[Shadowman]

lol moz -- I had to point this one out to you:

if( IdleSound != none )
IdleSound=none;

if( StartUpSound != none )
StartUpSound=none;

if( ShutDownSound != none )
ShutDownSound=none;

if( AmbientSound != none )
AmbientSound=none;

[Moz]

don't ask me, thats from the original ba64 class.

For some reason I can't seem to get this to work at all

[Shadowman]

There's probably actually a very good reason for that (efficiency? -- perhaps assigning those values is slower than checking them). Thought I'd rib ya a little since you said you weren't a coder...

[Yoshiro]

Bug WP about this sort of thing. He made one I believe for the mod version of RO.
