Can anyoe tell me why this doesn't work:

[Dexter13]

exec function Healing()
{
local Vector SpawnLoc;
local Vector Start;
local vector X,Y,Z;
local int Distance;

Distance = 200;
GetAxes(PlayerPawn(Owner).ViewRotation,X,Y,Z);
Start=PlayerPawn(Owner).Location;
// I try putting 'Location + CalcDrawOffset();' but it wont compile when i do!
SpawnLoc=Start + Vector(PlayerPawn(Owner).ViewRotation) * Distance;
Spawn(class'botpack.HealthPack',,,SpawnLoc);
}

can anyone see the problem?

what does it do / not do?

rightfully so; as CalcDrawOffset exists only for subclasses of class Inventory. Perhaps you should also take into account the player's EyeHeight. And another thing (sorry to have to dump all my s*** on you, at the moment I am rather frustrated myself), you might want to perform a trace before spawning, otherwise the HealthPack may end up being spawned inside level geometry...

Besides, you'll have to make sure the healthpack won't respawn. BTW, is it supposed to heal someone, or spawn a medkit on the ground? In the first case, it'd be cleaner to just add 20 health to the person in front of the player (found using a Trace), the latter you should make your medkit fall to the ground. Floating med's suck

Yep, yep and .... yep.


The spawn code is pretty frustating I found when implementing some buy stuff. My fave was spawning weapons that the spawner couldnt use, but everyone else could ... wheee!

Unless there is a good reason for it, avoid it.
