I am attempting to call a function that resides in another mutator and using the return value in my mutator. Here is what I have done so far. It compiles ok, but the function never gets called... (put a few log()'s in the function).

My Mutator:
Code: 
var [COLOR="Red"]OtherMutator[/COLOR] OtherMut;

function timer()
{
	local pawn p;
	local string PS;
	for (p=Level.PawnList; p!=None; p=p.NextPawn) {
	PS = OtherMut.OtherFunc(p.playerreplicationinfo.playername);
        log(PS);
	}
}

The OtherMutator (the return string is for illustrative purposes):
Code: 
function string OtherFunc(string PlayerName) {
log("OtherFunc was called");
return "I like"@PlayerName;
}

I hope this shows what I'm trying to do. Can it be done like this? Is there a better way... Your help is much appreciated.

Of course the function is never called, the variable it is being called on does not contain any object. Your log file should contain an Accessed None warning for every attempt to call the function.

Click to expand...

Is it possible to do what I want at all, in any way that you know of..? :(

I tried to assign the correct object to OtherMut, but it fails to compile...

Code: 
var Mutator OtherMut;

function timer()
{
local Mutator M;
    for( M = Level.Game.BaseMutator; M != None; M = M.NextMutator )
    if(M.IsA('OtherMutator')) OtherMut=M;
OtherMut.OtherFunc(p.playerreplicationinfo.playername);
}

It fails telling me it cannot find the function OtherFunc(). I have run out of ideas here..

There's no "OtherFunc" in the Mutator class, so you'll have to typecast the Mutator reference M to OtherMutator at some point, preferably when assigning M to OtherMut. (Declare OtherMut as a variable of type OtherMutator again.)
