Spawning item....

[Darion]

Yes. I have looked at this and this looks a LOT more helpful than the PUF.... excellent work in creating something like this. And yes, I do have a question. I was wondering how would you code something like this:
You fire a weapon and it spawns an item at your exact location (ex. item would be Damage Amplifier)

I know how to spawn items and stuff.... but how would I get it to spawn exactly at the location of yourself? Or another person for that matter.

Ok if you want to spawn a Damage ampilier from a weapon you use this code
Spawn(class'UDamage',,,Pawn(Owner).Location);
It should spawn the weapon on the location of the player

Are you trying to make something like the AEBMgun?

Sorry but two questions.

1) Where does it create it? eg. It's feet or stomach ect.

2) What is the ,,, before Pawn mean.

1) It spawns it in the middle of the player, if you want to make it fall to the ground declare a local or a normal variable UDamage UDam
and do UDam = Spawn(class'UDamage',,,Pawn(Owner).Location);
and then UDam.SetPhysics(PHYS_Falling);

2) the ,,,'s are for optional variables we don't want to use

[b]the spawn function goes like this:[/b]
native(278) final function actor Spawn
(
	class<actor>      SpawnClass,
	optional actor	  SpawnOwner,
	optional name     SpawnTag,
	optional vector   SpawnLocation,
	optional rotator  SpawnRotation
);

see all the optional variables, you don't need to specify these, so I use ,,,'s Hope you understand it
