Asking, which Perk is used...

[StuKKa]

Hi there..
I started coding today and found the first problem with the classes. I wanted to ask, which perk is used to give each perk a replacement weapon, for example another kind of knife or a new high power welder. How do i ask which perk is used?

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other)
{
    if (KFPlayerController.NewPerkClass == class'KFVetCommando')
    {
        Other.CreateInventory("KFMod.Bat");
        Super.ModifyPlayer(Other);
    }
}

Hope you could help me, because I'm completly new at the unreal engine, I only worked with the source engine so far, but i want to do something for my loved Killing Floor....

Source is quite similar to Unreal Engine because they are both C++ based. Source is written in C++ alone (I think) and Unreal Engine is written in C++ Java and UScript. Once you get all the functions you'll be making mutators as fast as you can say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

here's a code snippet you might find helpful:

    ForEach DynamicActors(class'KFHumanPawn', KFHP)
    {
        if (KFHP == None)
        {
            continue;
        }
        PC = KFPlayerController(KFHP.Controller);        
        if (PC != None)
        {
            PRI = KFPlayerReplicationInfo(KFHP.PlayerReplicationInfo);
            if (PRI != none)
            {
                if (PRI.ClientVeteranSkill == none)
                {

...is how you see what perk some pawn (KFHP) has.

All the perks (KFMod.KFVet*) have a function, AddDefaultInventory, which adds things to a pawn's inventory when it spawns. Additionally, KFMod.KFHumanPawn sets several items in the array, RequiredEquipment, which will also be spawned into a KFHumanPawn's inventory whenever it spawns. You can, for example, in a mutator's CheckReplacement function, catch KFHumanPawns before they are spawned and modify their RequiredEquipment array to control what they spawn with.

Thank you, i got it worked. I got a small other question:
How do I remove a weapon from a player. I want to remove the knife, because some perks got other standart melee weapon, for example, the demolition perk now gets a hockey bat if he reaches level 5.

Personally, I think you're better off rolling new perk classes and adding the equip you want in their adddefaultinventory function. Or you could use the RequiredEquipment array and modify it in a mutator's checkreplace. There's quite a few ways.

two functions you might look at are CreateInventory...deleteinventory I think.

Here's something you might want to peruse:

pretty much the entire source tree for ut2004. anything you want to know how to do, there is probably an example in there.

You can try modifying the KFHumanPawn's required equpidment variables
