changing hud mid game from playercontroller

beefsack · Aug 5, 2003

k im trying to change to a different HUD midgame from the playercontroller class. all the lines around it execute find. heres the line i use to try to switch huds:

Code:

level.Game.HUDType = "ThePackage.NewHUD";

what am i doing wrong

You should start by checking how and where that "HUDType" variable is used by the game's UnrealScript code. There's nothing native involved, so by merely looking into the source code you can find out why, exactly, making that assignment doesn't work.

I'm more interested in why you want to do this in the first place. Why don't you just set the corresponding default property in your custom GameInfo subclass?

If you are not making a game type, you shouldn't have custom PlayerController and HUD subclasses to start with; see Unreal Wiki: Maintaining Compatibility.

where i need to be able to build stuff so it needs a player hud and a building hud. thanks for the help i had a deeper look and when the player logs in it sets it. sorry for not trying harder

Code:

function ChangeHUD(string NewHUDType, string NewSBType)
{
    local class<HUD> HudClass;
    local class<Scoreboard> ScoreboardClass;

    HudClass = class<HUD>(DynamicLoadObject(NewHUDType, class'Class'));
    ScoreboardClass = class<Scoreboard>(DynamicLoadObject(NewSBType, class'Class'));
    ClientSetHUD( HudClass, ScoreboardClass );
}

thats in the playercontroller class
