I want the code for a subclass of armor2, one that will not be picked up if the player still has undamaged armor on.

Can anyone help? I really need the code that can do this.

hey I think you best wait for someone more experienced to reply but this is my guess :)

class yourwhatever extends armor2;

defaultproperties
{
bCanHaveMultipleCopies=false
}

You can try this:
Code: 
class YourArmor2 extends Armor2;


auto state Pickup
{	
	function Touch( actor Other )
	{
		local Inventory Copy;
		if ( ValidTouch(Other) ) 
		{
			if(Other.IsA('Pawn'))
			{
	                       [color=limegreen] //Checks if any of these items are in the pawn's inventory
				//if any of them are pressent, the armor will not be picked up - Brood[/color]
				if(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType('Armor2') != None || 
				   Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType('ThighPads') != None ||
				   Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType('UT_ShieldBelt') != None)
				       return;
		         }
			
			Copy = SpawnCopy(Pawn(Other));
			if (Level.Game.LocalLog != None)
				Level.Game.LocalLog.LogPickup(Self, Pawn(Other));
			if (Level.Game.WorldLog != None)
				Level.Game.WorldLog.LogPickup(Self, Pawn(Other));
			if (bActivatable && Pawn(Other).SelectedItem==None) 
				Pawn(Other).SelectedItem=Copy;
			if (bActivatable && bAutoActivate && Pawn(Other).bAutoActivate) Copy.Activate();
			if ( PickupMessageClass == None )
				Pawn(Other).ClientMessage(PickupMessage, 'Pickup');
			else
				Pawn(Other).ReceiveLocalizedMessage( PickupMessageClass, 0, None, None, Self.Class );
			PlaySound (PickupSound,,2.0);	
			Pickup(Copy).PickupFunction(Pawn(Other));
		}
	}

	function BeginState()
	{
		Super.BeginState();
		NumCopies = 0;
	}
}

Log: Compiling Bvest
Error: C:\UnrealTournament\newax\Classes\Bvest.uc(28) : Error, Call to 'FindInventoryType': type mismatch in parameter 1
Critical: appError called:

Getting this error, this is the first time I have seen the FindInventoryType, so I’m not sure what needs fixed...

Line 28
if(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType('Armor2') != None) ||
Click to expand...

Is there a way to test for the charge left in the armor and if it is below a set level then it allows pickup?

yeah, that's how I handle ammo and armor in Freehold. It simply checks' the Pawns current charge and handles accordingly.

Look at the code for health packs for similarities on dealing with stat "ceilings", the HUD DrawStatus code for figuring out the player's current charge/armor, add some brown sugar and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Not tested
doesn't take into account some check with sb, like the default script does.

PHP: 
function bool HandlePickupQuery( inventory Item )
{
  local inventory S;

  if ( item.class == class ) 
  {
    S = Pawn(Owner).FindInventoryType(class'armor2');  

    if (  S != None )
      if (S.Charge == S.default.Charge)
        return false;

    if (Level.Game.LocalLog != None)
      Level.Game.LocalLog.LogPickup(Item, Pawn(Owner));
    if (Level.Game.WorldLog != None)
      Level.Game.WorldLog.LogPickup(Item, Pawn(Owner));
    if ( PickupMessageClass == None )
      Pawn(Owner).ClientMessage(PickupMessage, 'Pickup');
    else
      Pawn(Owner).ReceiveLocalizedMessage( PickupMessageClass, 0, None, None, Self.Class );
    Item.PlaySound (PickupSound,,2.0);
    Item.SetReSpawn();
    return true;        
  }
  if ( Inventory == None )
    return false;

  return Inventory.HandlePickupQuery(Item);
}

Both versions compiled without errors, yet they still are not working, the armor still disappears when walked over, so what’s wrong???

Note - I'm stabbing in the dark here, because I'm really just waiting for someone :)


Try and figure out exactly what's going on. Is the armor being added to the inventory? Does the Players' armor go up? Or does it just disappear?

Remember, picking items is really pretty complicated. The engine detects a "touch", passes on the corresponding event, both objects (possibly) react to it.

In other words, it's possible that the item isn't being picked up, but is disappearing. So you may have actually accomplished one task. The next would be - how do you keep it from being destroyed/respawned?

Hmm take Raeled`s code, but change the lines:

   S = Pawn(Owner).FindInventoryType(class'armor2'); 



    if (  S != None )

      if (S.Charge == S.default.Charge)

        return false;

to:

if ( Charge < Default.Charge )
return true;

This is what I have so far, it works as a standard armor pickup, just needs the "don’t pick up unless needed" function to work.

It still is disappearing.

class Bvest expands NewItems;

#exec MESH IMPORT MESH=Bvest ANIVFILE=MODELS\Bvest_a.3d DATAFILE=MODELS\Bvest_d.3d X=0 Y=0 Z=0
#exec MESH ORIGIN MESH=Bvest X=0 Y=0 Z=0

#exec MESH SEQUENCE MESH=Bvest SEQ=All STARTFRAME=0 NUMFRAMES=1
#exec MESH SEQUENCE MESH=Bvest SEQ=Still STARTFRAME=0 NUMFRAMES=1

#exec MESHMAP NEW MESHMAP=Bvest MESH=Bvest
#exec MESHMAP SCALE MESHMAP=Bvest X=0.1 Y=0.1 Z=0.2

#exec TEXTURE IMPORT NAME=BVestSkin FILE=MODELS\BVestSkin.bmp GROUP=Skins FLAGS=0

#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=Bvest NUM=1 TEXTURE=BVestSkin
//Icon=Texture'---.Icons.---'

function bool HandlePickupQuery( inventory Item )
{
local inventory S;

if ( item.class == class )
{

S = Pawn(Owner).FindInventoryType(class'armor2');

if ( Charge < Default.Charge )
return true;

if (Level.Game.LocalLog != None)
Level.Game.LocalLog.LogPickup(Item, Pawn(Owner));
if (Level.Game.WorldLog != None)
Level.Game.WorldLog.LogPickup(Item, Pawn(Owner));
if ( PickupMessageClass == None )
Pawn(Owner).ClientMessage(PickupMessage, 'Pickup');
else
Pawn(Owner).ReceiveLocalizedMessage( PickupMessageClass, 0, None, None, Self.Class );
Item.PlaySound (PickupSound,,2.0);
Item.SetReSpawn();
return true;
}
if ( Inventory == None )
return false;

return Inventory.HandlePickupQuery(Item);
}

Code: 
function bool HandlePickupQuery( inventory Item ) 
{ 
local inventory S; 

if ( item.class == class ) 
{ 

S = Pawn(Owner).FindInventoryType(class'armor2'); 

if(S != None)
   if ( S.Charge < S.Default.Charge ) 
      return true; 

rest of code that you had

}

my guess

It shows up fine, the new item class is just an abstract container for putting all new Pickup Items inside of one dropdown for ease of use in UnrealED

“Class NewItems expands TournamentPickup abstract;”

The problem is with being able to pick it up when your armor is still at 100.

I am right now working on Laser, Light, and Night vision functions for a new weapon class, if someone can get this Armor working I’d really appreciate it.

Just post the code when it works, I think everyone could find a use for it.

@Magus:
I doesn`t make sense to search for armor2 in the inventory, because the object where it`s called is actually a "armor2", item.class == class wouldn`t make sense otherwise, no ?

The default 'armor2' class checks for another inventory item: the ut_shieldbelt

@Silver_Ibex:
Change that line:

if ( Charge < Default.Charge )
return true;

TO:

if ( Charge >= Default.Charge )
return false;

Sorry, my first reply for sure doesn`t make any sense, since return true was always called, but this one above should work, and remove the findinventory() stuff and the s variable therefore

I’m going back to finish modifying the weapon code :(
If someone gets this to work it would be really nice, right now I just am totally burnt out on this piece of code, which should be extremely simple.

If someone gets it to work then they should post the entire script.
