No Timer Event?!?

[Corsix]

I'm coding a custom zone info: (class GravityZoneInfo extends ZoneInfo; )
but for reason after call SetTimer(1,true); there aren't any timer events!
Does anyone know why this could be?

EDIT: BTW. this is UT2004 latest patch folks

Not sure whether it matter but try ' SetTimer(1.0,true); '

How do you know? You setup your timer function and added a log?

I would assume it's because your actor isn't getting spawned, so set timer never happens.

Well for a start Tick and Timer don't work when certain booleans areset like bStatic.

No, not really, since it's the same. In Timers you can specify a little more accuracy say 2.5 seconds.

Because of what he has extended, I doubt it would be spawning issue, as this is probably a map placed actor. You shouldn't normal spawn ZoneInfo's dynamically into the game.

Why not? You could do say gas nades that way.

I'm having a simliar problem. I am trying to have ammo for my gun regen whether you have it or drop it. So, when it gets dropped, I want a timer to start adding ammo. This is where I call SetTimer:

function InitDroppedPickupFor(Inventory Inv)
{                       log("was in initdropped thing");

    W = Weapon(Inv);
    if (W != None)
    {
        AmmoAmount[0] = W.AmmoAmount(0);
        AmmoAmount[1] = W.AmmoAmount(1);
    }
    SetTimer(AmmoRegenTime, true);
    Super.InitDroppedPickupFor(None);
}

Now, the log gets printed, but then in my Timer function, I have a log as the first line and it never gets printed. Do the actor timer/settimer functions work differently than the weaponfire ones? Or is there something else I have to do? Thanks.
