Triggering a combo with a mutate command.

Postal · Mar 8, 2004

At the request of someone, I am trying to set up a combo so you can activate it with a mutate command.

Looks like combos are started in XPawn with the
function DoCombo( class<Combo> ComboClass )

However the mutate command uses:
function Mutate(string MutateString, PlayerController Sender)

So I'm stuck on this, I dont know how to bridge that gap between PlayerController and XPawn. So somehow I need to get it so when the player pushes his bind, the pawn tries to activate the combo.

Im lost, can anyone give me some pointers?

Maybe this might work?

Code:

exec function PressMe()
{
  xPawn(Pawn).DoCombo(class'YourPackage.YourComboClass');
}

That'll bridge between the playercontroller to the pawn...

Code:

xPawn(Sender.Pawn).DoCombo(Class'MyComboClass');

I tried putting a exec in the combo class, silly me, the combo doesnt actually exist till its spawned by the pawn.

Thanks Mychaeel, I was close "Sender.DoCombo(Class'BlastPak.Combo_BlastStop')" but not close enough. Most appreciated.

Worked perfectly, thanks again.

where did u place the function please? (extending which class?)

Postal · Mar 10, 2004

I put it in the mutator, it ended up looking like this

Code:

function Mutate(string MutateString, PlayerController Sender)
{
	If(MutateString~= "BlastStop")
	{
//Thanks to Mychaeel for this code.
		xPawn(Sender.Pawn).DoCombo(Class'BlastPak.Combo_BlastStop');
	}
	if ( NextMutator != None )
		NextMutator.Mutate(MutateString, Sender);
}

and the exec?

Postal · Mar 10, 2004

"Mutate BlastStop"

Code:

If(MutateString~= "BlastStop")

Edit that line to change it

As for the exec I tried, that didnt work.

the exec wouldn'tw ork unless you had your own player class

You can put execs in active classes, but I put one in a class that didnt exist at the time. Funny isnt it?

You can place exec in a weapon for example, who needs a new player class.
