class 'UT_SpriteSmokePuff' ???

[Silver_Ibex]

I want to spawn a “UT_SpriteSmokePuff” and set its rising rate when I spawn it as part of a new wall hit FX.

A = Spawn(class'UT_SpriteSmokePuff',,,Location + 8 * Vector(Rotation));
A.RemoteRole = ROLE_None;
A.drawscale = 0.3;
A.RisingRate = 10.000000

with the above code I get this error

Error: C:\UnrealTournament\newax\Classes\newAX22hit.uc(50) : Error, Unrecognized member 'RisingRate' in class 'Actor'

what’s the proper way to address this variable???

Cast A to type UT_SpriteSmokePuff.

UT_SpriteSmokePuff(A).RisingRate = whatever;

Otherwise you can just delcare A as a UT_SpriteSmokePuff to begin with.

Indeed! If you cast it though, keep a look out for "Accessed nones". They suck. (In fact, my current project is generating one every tick. I'm seeing into it right now.)
