We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes.

Hi there,
how do i call the console command Say in a function i tried PlayerOwner().ConsoleCommand("Say") but it doesn't work and i tried to call Say("myvar"); and still doesn't work
i've declared the variable in question as var localized string because it should
contain text and i putted it into the default properties as follow:
defaultproperties

Code: 
{
  myvar="sometext"
}

how do i get out from this?

thank you very much
Best Regards FireFox-

The Say console command is an exec function in the PlayerController class. Since you attempoted to use PlayerOwner(), I guess you are coding a GUIComponent class, so try: PlayerOwner().Say("text");

UnrealScript is an object-oriented language. You will have to know not only what you want to do (i.e. what objects/functions/variables to use), but also where (i.e. which class/object) you want to do it from.

yes i know that UnrealScript is a object oriented language i noticed it by browsing the source code of ut2k4 and i noticed that everything is linked by class and or class reference in that way it makes the code to be more extended because if i extend a myown class to gameinfo for example
it means that i can use my own variables + the gameinfo's variable am i right?
