Level Post Begin play ?

PTGui · May 22, 2006

I want to make it possible for just after the level starts, be able to run a function. For example, to make it possible for something be visible or not using a random factor, but this made for all objects (so it can't be a localy done on objects in their's PostBeginPlay() )

so, is there a like a "PostBeginPlay" for levels, after all objects are load and just before the player is on game?

If so, where? Should I use a GameInfo object for this, with the event PostLogin, or is there a better solution?

That's my usual reference for the level startup process. Based on what you've posted, a custom GameInfo would do the job if you are planning to make a custom gametype, otherwise a mutator should do the trick.

Thankx... I've been looking for that for a while now, and it was a great help. :clap:

I've also read the discussion there and I found this?

... Also, do the actors "exist" in InitGame? That is, if there is an actor on the map, can I find it with AllActors in InitGame?

Wormbo said:
Map actors exist during initialization, they just didn't get their *BeginPlay events yet.

The thing now is... I tried to do this function that I call in InitGame of MyGameInfo:

Code:

function bool SetFailures()
{

        local Actor A;
        
        log("Passed here point 1");

        ForEach AllActors( class 'Actor', A, 'Actor' )
        {
              log("Passed here point 2");
        }



        return true;

}

The result on script on loading is that it shows:
"Passed here point 1"

But it never shows:
"Passed here point 2"

My problem is I wanted to do something when it is passing point 2. Any reason for me having this problem them?

did you try leaving out the matchtag??

PTGui · May 22, 2006

You are right... If I leave it out it works.

It was a stupid thing I was doing and the reason is simple: the tags are all in the actor after the PostBeginPlay() of the actor. This step is only done after de InitGame, so it makes sence.

But now, how can I know what is the one actor I want to change if I can't check the matchtag?

excellent

MyGameInfo.PostNetBeginPlay() will do the trick, and it'll still happen before the player has chance to do anything.

Gibberstein, yes it did the trick...
