UE2 - UT2kX Removing Assault Rifle/ShieldGun

[Median12]

Hi,
I have got to the stage in my Mod, Occupant 17 where I have used BW Weapons and ZenCoders etc.. as the main weapons and I want to remove the standard UT2k4 Assault Rifle and ShieldGun from the Player.

I have an interesting way of spawning so He gets whichever weapon fits that level but as usual when you flick through your weapons you still have the UT2k4 Assault/ShieldGun....

Is there an easy way to remove these or do I have to change the xPawn values;

RequiredEquipment(0)="XWeapons.AssaultRifle" to " " or "none"?

I wondered if there was a noMut out there but I couldn't find anything relevant.

If I recall correctly, yes, you have to change those xPawn values. Here is a sample code excerpt from one of my mutators that removes that default inventory (edited to be more specific to your scenario, so it might need some testing to work...):

// in general do not replace weapon pickups, that can cause easily iterative failures
function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant){
  local int i;

  bSuperRelevant = 0;

   // Turn off player loadouts for players / multiplayer bots only as indicated
  // by the Intelligence check
   if(xPawn(Other)!=None ){
        xPawn(Other).bNoDefaultInventory = true; // this setting appears to ignored,
        // DeathMatch.uc still calls AddDefaultInventory
       // from an Accept Inventory function, not sure
       // where that is called from
       // blank out the values
      for ( i=15; i>=0; i-- )
         if (xPawn(Other).RequiredEquipment[i] != "" )
                    xPawn(Other).RequiredEquipment[i]="";
      return true;
  }
  return true;
}

Thanks Meowcat, I thought so.

If you are creating a custom pawn, you can override the DefaultInventory.

If you don't solve this hit me up and I'll script you something to embed in the map.

Thanks gopostal.

I'll send you the link for the Alpha when it's vaguely finished and you can see what you can do.

I haven't uploaded anything yet as I am using various Texture packs and other interesting changes from the original UT2k4 game.

Thats a big enough file in itself.

I'll let you know.

It's basically to remove the AssaultRifle and Shield from the Player. All NPC's/Bots are AIscript or OSMT based so that's no problem.
