UE3 - UDK NEED to start scripting!

[larafan25]

Hello!

So I really need to learn how scripting works in the UDK.

So where inside my UDK folders would I find the documents and scripts that require changing?

I want to change controls, AI, inventory, etc....

Please help me.

Sorry to double post but I have a question...

Where may I find these scripts in my UDK folders?

http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CameraTechnicalGuide.html

They are the ones for the camera (scroll down the page) and player controls. I have searched and I have not found them, also what can I use to edit these uc files?

UnrealScript source code is just plain text. Anything capable of saving plain text in ASCII format can be used. Word/Wordpad is not among those, but e.g. Notepad is, and the many many better text editors out there. You can also use a full IDE, like WOTgreal or nFringe.

^Ok, thanks, I have notepad.

Edit:

BTW this...

UDNPawn.uc

class UDNPawn extends UTPawn;

var float CamOffsetDistance; //distance to offset the camera from the player
var int IsoCamAngle; //pitch angle of the camera

//override to make player mesh visible by default
simulated event BecomeViewTarget( PlayerController PC )
{
local UTPlayerController UTPC;

Super.BecomeViewTarget(PC);

if (LocalPlayer(PC.Player) != None)
{
UTPC = UTPlayerController(PC);
if (UTPC != None)
{
//set player controller to behind view and make mesh visible
UTPC.SetBehindView(true);
SetMeshVisibility(UTPC.bBehindView);
UTPC.bNoCrosshair = true;
}
}
}

simulated function bool CalcCamera( float fDeltaTime, out vector out_CamLoc, out rotator out_CamRot, out float out_FOV )
{
out_CamLoc = Location;
out_CamLoc.X -= Cos(IsoCamAngle * UnrRotToRad) * CamOffsetDistance;
out_CamLoc.Z += Sin(IsoCamAngle * UnrRotToRad) * CamOffsetDistance;

out_CamRot.Pitch = -1 * IsoCamAngle;
out_CamRot.Yaw = 0;
out_CamRot.Roll = 0;

return true;
}

simulated singular event Rotator GetBaseAimRotation()
{
local rotator POVRot, tempRot;

tempRot = Rotation;
tempRot.Pitch = 0;
SetRotation(tempRot);
POVRot = Rotation;
POVRot.Pitch = 0;

return POVRot;
}

defaultproperties
{
IsoCamAngle=6420 //35.264 degrees
CamOffsetDistance=384.0
}

I am not sure what file UDNPawn.uc is, all I know is it does not open as a text document, at least what I am finding, it's a class file right?

The UDN article provides example code, UDNPawn is not a UDK stock class.
