Change Teams Button,,,how to get it back.

Ive just started coding in unreal script. ive followed various tutorials from Wiki and other places and have managed to make my own game type. The teams work, so does the scoring. The Hud has been modified and the Scoreboard has too. (i have programmed in a few languages before, so things are easy to pick up)

BUT...

i can't seem to get that blasted Change Teams button back. You know, the one on the in-game menu when you press escape.

I do believe this is the code in the GUI2K4.UT2K4MidGameMenu class that checks to see if the button should be drawn.

if (PC.GameReplicationInfo == None || !PC.GameReplicationInfo.bTeamGame || PC.GameReplicationInfo.bNoTeamChanges )
RemoveComponent(bChangeTeam);

basically this says "something OR bTeamGame=False or bNoTeamChanges is True

im not too sure about that first one, i think it is the problem.

i found the point in my code where i should write


GameReplicationInfo.bNoTeamChanges = False;
GameReplicationInfo.bTeamGame = True;

its in my PreBeginPlay event.
(i think thats where it should go)

but for some reason the button doesnt appear.

I then searched for several hours through all the invasion source code to try and find something that relates to this button but i found nothing.

can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks.

Do a log at some point (if you can do it in a tick or wherever, that would be okay) to log the PlayerController.GameReplicationInfo.Class. Make sure its not none. There might be an easier way, but I usually just log. If its not none, and bTeamGame is true, and bNoTeamChanges is false, it should work.

Do you get an accessed none warning while trying to set the bNoTeamChanges and bTeamGame? If you do, then its None, and that is your problem.

Have you set the GameReplicationInfoClass to something in your gametype? That should avoid it being none.

i get alot of errors in my log, most of them are the same thing being repeated.

Warning: TI_ScoreBoard DM-RYE-Storage.TI_ScoreBoard (Function TeamINV.TI_ScoreBoard.GetTitleString:0034) Accessed None 'GRI'
Warning: TI_ScoreBoard DM-RYE-Storage.TI_ScoreBoard (Function TeamINV.TI_ScoreBoard.GetTitleString:0069) Accessed None 'GRI'

thats repeated about 100 times, then i get the start match log followed by this:...

Warning: TeamINV DM-RYE-Storage.TeamINV (Function SkaarjPack.Invasion.MatchInProgress.BeginState:001D) Accessed None 'GameReplicationInfo'
Warning: TeamINV DM-RYE-Storage.TeamINV (Function SkaarjPack.Invasion.MatchInProgress.BeginState:0025) Attempt to assign variable through None

then comes the log i set up in the pre begin play which says that GameReplicationInfo doesnt equal None. I used log(GameReplicationInfo), here is what it says.

ScriptLog: ________________________________________________________________________
ScriptLog: ________________________________________________________________________
ScriptLog: DM-RYE-Storage.TeamINVGameReplicationInfo
ScriptLog: ________________________________________________________________________
ScriptLog: ________________________________________________________________________
ScriptLog: running

but after that it gives more errors...

Warning: TeamINV DM-RYE-Storage.TeamINV (Function SkaarjPack.Invasion.PreBeginPlay:001D) Accessed None 'GameReplicationInfo'
Warning: TeamINV DM-RYE-Storage.TeamINV (Function SkaarjPack.Invasion.PreBeginPlay:0025) Attempt to assign variable through None

Warning: TeamINV DM-RYE-Storage.TeamINV (Function SkaarjPack.Invasion.PreBeginPlay:0040) Attempt to assign variable through None

so obviously ive done something wrong somewhere. any ideas?

Hm. Well, it wasn't none, obviously, but then it becomes none. You'll need to post code for further help, or look for a place where the variable is destroyed or set to none.

InitGame is the first script function called when the match begins. GameReplicationInfo isn't created until [and someone correct me if I'm wrong - going completely from memory atm] GameInfo.PreBeginPlay (or maybe PostBeginPlay), which is called AFTER GameInfo.InitGame. Thus, GameReplicationInfo will always be None in InitGame, since the GameReplicationInfo property isn't assigned a value until after InitGame has been executed.

To figure out exactly where the GameReplicationInfo property is assigned, do a find-in-files for InitGameReplicationInfo().

Am I understanding your problem correctly?

Thanks for all your help. I was just testing what i had done so far. Some friends joined in when i ran a dedicated server. what was strange is that the change teams button was there. I did some further testing and I dont think the host can change teams. But since i was running a dedicated server it was ok as everyone could change.
