[ut2004] basic rocketlauncher mutator

monkey8 · Apr 7, 2004

I want to make my own version of a bouncing rocket launcher. The problem is, when I play, the rocket launcher base is there, but the gun is invisible and i can't pick it up. And it does this to all of the weapons bases, not just rocketlauncher ones...

The line i'm pretty sure is wrong, is bolded. I'm using MutArena and the wiki as a reference.

I don't understand what class'SomeClassName' does, Is it typecasting?

Code:

//=========================================================================
// MutRocketLauncherBouncy.uc
//   replaces regular RocketLauncher with one that fires bouncy missiles
//=========================================================================

class MutRocketLauncherBouncy extends Mutator;

function bool CheckReplacement( Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant )
{
  bSuperRelevant = 0;
  if ( xWeaponBase(Other) != None )
  {
    if(xWeaponBase(Other).WeaponType == class'RocketLauncher')
      [b]xWeaponBase(Other).WeaponType = class'RocketLauncherBouncy';[/b]
    else
      return true;
  }
  else if(WeaponPickup(Other) != None)
  {
//if i change ammo pickup replace it here
  }
  else
    return true;
  return false;
}

defaultproperties
{
     GroupName="RocketLauncher"
     FriendlyName="(monkey) RocketLauncher bouncy"
     Description="Rockets fired will bounce!"
}

Code:

//=========================================================================
// RocketLauncherBouncy.uc
//   rockets bounce
//=========================================================================

class RocketLauncherBouncy extends RocketLauncher;

defaultproperties
{
     Description="Same old launcher, only bouncy rockets!"
     ItemName="Bouncy Rocket Launcher"
}

If I did it correctly, it should just replace the rergular rocket launcher with mine which currently only has a different name.

thanks,

I don't know if you knew this, but i'm working on a reflective weapons mutator, in which there are rockets that bounce off walls. It will be a while before i release, still fixing stuff, but you could just wait for that if you wanted to. Your choice. Just thought I'd let you know.

I'd like to see how you did it when its done.

Do you see anything wrong with my replacement code? Because the above mutator ends up removing all weapons, but the bases stay. I just want to replace the rocketlauncher with my rocketlauncher, leaving all other weapon untouched.

First things first, always check the log to see if you have any Accessed Nones or Class Not Found errors. As for your code, it looks right but there could be something else that's messing it up, like where your classes are layed out.

class'SomeName' is just saying "I want this class." You could try putting the Package in there, like this:

change
xWeaponBase(Other).WeaponType = class'RocketLauncherBouncy';

to
xWeaponBase(Other).WeaponType = class'MyPackage.RocketLauncherBouncy';

I didn't do the code for the rocket launcher, dstoddar(sp?) did it. he also did the shock projectiles, and i did the lightning gun and shock rifle beam.

Glassboy: if you and him decide to release your mod source that'd be cool to learn off from.

JamesKilton: I think my weapon code is okay because if I go settings->weapons, it shows up on the list. I tried a map with my mutator, but when I got the rocket launcher, it said I got the rocket launcher. I dont know if I didn't set a variable in my rocket launcher code or if It didn't actually replace. Now the weapons all stay in the game.

The errors don't even look like they are my fault, but something to do with the map I happened to play:

Code:

Thanks everyone for the help so far
