access vars in inis

[SwaTz0rs]

hey there...
can anyone tell me how i get access to settings stored in my custom ini file?

class myweapon extends UTWeap_SniperRifle config(myweapon);

var config int bAmmoCount;
var config int bMaxAmmoCount;

function setammo()....
{
...
...
...

what i want to do is make the AmmoCount configurable... but it wont work as it seems like the weapon doesnt have 'access' to the myweapon.ini


ut3 is so freaking different from ut99
:D

thanks in advance

You can save values out by creating a config-variable, changing it's value and calling SaveConfig() (also see Object.uc).
The value is read from the .ini-file if the object is created. I don't think there is a way to read it manually (perhaps ResetConfig()?).

put the variable in a section called

[yourpackagenamehere.myweapon]
bAmmoCount=whatever
bMaxAmmoCount=whatever

at the bottom of your ini.

ps, "b" in front of the name isn't normally used for stuff that isn't "true" or "false".

so if i'm in my game replication info class how can i add server configurable options? Should it fall in a GameSettings category or a ROMGameReplicationInfo category?

my code


class ROMGameReplicationInfo extends UTGameReplicationInfo
config(GameSettings);


my ini


[ReignOfMilitias.GameSettings]
RespawnCountDown=20
