array<string>

[Wormbo]

After exporting all classes to .uc files I noticed the class Editor.EditorEngine with the following line in it:

var(Advanced) config array<string> EditPackages;

This is obviously the declaration for the EditPackages entries in UnrealTournament.ini, [Editor.EditorEngine] section.

Can I use my own array<something> declarations?
And if yes, how are these variables accessed from UScript?

Ofcourse, it's an array.
you can put any class in the brackets to make it an array of that class (that contains a number of that class's objects)
Int his case, the class is "string" thus it's a string-array...

Interesting... I don't see a limitation of values stored in the array. Would this happen to be a dynamic array?

Yes, I guess so. You can add serverpackages as much as you want. I think you can handle this as a normal fixed size array, and I recall there was a function to get the size of such an array, but I couldn't find it in the Object class... Crap.

Yes, it is a dynamic array, but unfortunately there is no working UnrealScript support for dynamic arrays. You can declare dynamic arrays, but you can't access their elements, which mostly defeats their purpose.

See also Undocumented UnrealScript (linking to Google's cache since the original site is unfortunately down).

You should tell the guys from UnrealScript.com this link. They currently link to the site that is very down.

Too bad they didn't fully implement these arrays in UScript. And too bad that site is down. It is/was great.

it'll be in Unreal2 or later I've heard

What intrigues me is, if it's not implemented, how come the mutatorlist uses it?

 

[Wormbo]

The mutatorlist is one string: "FirstMutator,SecondMutator,..."
