Question about subclassing

[Quintin Stone]

It looks like I've found how to create new console commands. In PlayerPawn line 1138, there's a series of exec functions that seem to define console commands. So if I subclass a new player class, I can add my own commands there.

My question: is it possible to subclass PlayerPawn and have all of PlayerPawn's existing subclasses (like TournamentPlayer and its children TournamentMale and TournamentFemale and so on) inherit my changes? Do I have to extend every existing child class of PlayerPawn no matter how deep? Please tell me Epic planned for such an obvious flaw!

Well when I created new player classes for Unreal I all I did was subclass the playerpawn. Add in my own exec functions as part of the normal code and binded the functions to keys. Worked AOk.

Really? Could I trouble you for some details? I'm kind of a novice at UnrealScript (in case you couldn't tell). How did you get UT to actually use your extended PlayerPawn instead of the standard? Was this a matter of the name, or perhaps SpawnNotify to replace PlayerPawn with the subclassed MyNewPlayerPawn? I'd really appreciate any details you can offer.
