Spinny dude error

[Doc_EDo]

When i use this in my custom GUIpage

function bool InternalDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
	local vector CamPos, X, Y, Z;
	local rotator CamRot;

	if(bRenderDude)
	{
		canvas.GetCameraLocation(CamPos, CamRot);
		GetAxes(CamRot, X, Y, Z);

		SpinnyDude.SetLocation(CamPos + (SpinnyDudeOffset.X * X)
				 + (SpinnyDudeOffset.Y * Y) + (SpinnyDudeOffset.Z * Z));

		canvas.DrawActor(SpinnyDude, false, true, 90.0);
	}

	return false;
}

and that's epics code, I get double characters drawn?? Why?

set it to bHidden if it isnt already. Unhide the first person view of a weapon and youll get the same effect.

Actually i've found the error.
It was the difference in the fov.

I've also noticed this bug a lot, and I wasn't sure why. However when I only made sure that one SpinnyDude was being spawned it stopped happening. I didn't realise it had to do with the FOV

[Doc_EDo]

Well if you draw it like this

canvas.DrawActor(SpinnyDude, false, true, 90.0);

you specify the fov (90.0).
So if the current fov is 85 you'll see the double dude, since he's being drawn by the engine before the GUI is drawn.
Making sure same fov is used the other completely overlaps the first, so you dont see the first being drawn (you cant stop it from being drawn by the engine).
So just use this instead

canvas.DrawActor(SpinnyDude, false, true);

to solve the problem (you dont specify the fov, you let the engine figure it out).

Yes but to draw SpinnyDude you must spawn it in the level too. I think I destroyed the one in the level...

Thanks for the knowledge though.

[Doc_EDo]

Of course, you must destroy it when exiting the menu.
