Changing Player Texture

[MecaNitroPenguin]

I know how to change a player mesh but when you change it it keeps the players texture. How do you change that?

Hi,

Did you think about the MultiSkin() function ?

In the PlayerPawn class it is used like this:

if ( Level.Game.bCanChangeSkin ){
	Self.static.SetMultiSkin(Self, SkinName, FaceName, TeamNum );
}

Good luck with this !

Hi!

I have always directly accessed the MultiSkin properties when I code. Try this:

PlayerPawn.MultiSkin[0] = Texture'r6.Terrorist.terr01'
PlayerPawn.MultiSkin[1] = Texture'r6.Terrorist.terr02'
PlayerPawn.MultiSkin[2] = Texture'r6.Terrorist.terr03'
PlayerPawn.MultiSkin[3] = Texture'r6.Terrorist.terr04'

You can place this also in the DefaultProperties block (change the brackets to parentheses)

GOOD LUCK!

when you refer to skin name would you use something like class'mymod.myskin' or do you have to use something else?

 

[BondJamesBond]

In response to that...


When you refer to a texture, you use the following usage:

Texture'MyMod.MyGroup.MyTexture'

If you don't have a group assigned, then leave out MyGroup.

Yell if that doesn't help.

Ok the multiskin thing rainbow6 mentioned doesn't work because the multiskin array doesn't exist(at least that's what ucc said) and I can't use texture'mymod.mygroup.mytexture' with multiskin because it needs a string for skinname so:

What do I have to put for the skinname i.e. what string mymod.mygroup.mytextexture doesn't work I've tried it and is there another way to do this without the multiskin command

Try this

Taken from the class UTTeleportEffect

MultiSkins(0)=Texture'Botpack.FlareFX.utflare1'

Note the second s in Multiskins.
It looks like the texture is specified like Texture'<package>.<group>.<name>'

Hope this helps.

Thanks for clarifying Mr. Mitchell

Maybe the MultiSkin array doesn't exist, but the MultiSkins array definently exists!!

Was that taken from the defaultproperties block??

 

[Mr.Mitchell]

Was that taken from the defaultproperties block??

Yeah, it was taken from the defaultproperties. In code you acces arrays like Multiskins[1] and in the defaultproperties you acces arrays like Multiskins(1). For some reason the braces are different.

Ok where is this information kept. I want to get the players current mesh. I did a search all with all of the export classes in my UT dir and just not finding it correctly or I am not using the right things to search for...

thanks and sorry

Response to JB

OKY DOKY!!

You can find the information for changing the player mesh and texture inside the "Display" property.

If you want an actor that you script to be viewed as your desired mesh, set the mesh and then set DrawType to DT_Mesh.

Hope that helps, (holler if it doesn't!)

Another way to say what rainbow6 said above is:

Just set mesh the mesh property(or read it) like this

myplayer.mesh=lodmesh'mypackage.mymesh'

or to read it

mymesh=myplayer.mesh
