Lookin' for some code

[Tiggy]

Does anyone know where I might find the code that displays the CTF flag when it is being carried? I thought it would be in CTFFlag, under something like "state Held", but I haven't seen anything there.

Any help?

 

[_U][B_StoneRain]

class CTFFlag extends Decoration
class Decoration extends Actor

what kind of code are you looking for ? the CTFFlag is simply an actor and drawn as any other actor too

if you want to know who (if anybody) is carrying the flag look at
var Pawn Holder;

Here's what I'm trying to figure out: What happens to the flag when someone touches it? In "function Touch()" it calls GotoState('Held'), but how does the flag end up strapped on some player's back?

Hope that clarifies things somewhat.

I suppose the easiest way to put the flag on a players back is to put a setlocation in the tick funtion & have it slightly offset from the players position (so it's not sticking out his head ), though I don't know where to look for the actual code...

I think it's done in native code. Though I suspect it essentially just has its physics sent to PHYS_Trailer (as there's a prepivot setting).

Ahh... That's probably why I couldn't find it then. Thanks for the replies.

Just swiftly looked it over but it looks interesting

I think carrieddecoration is some legacy code from the original Unreal which was never actually documented as a player ability. You can pick up decorations with mass<25 or something. Walk up to a small box or pylon and type "grab" in the console.

I think something like this *was* used in Deux Ex...?
