Vector Variable Assign Question

[Psyke]

Hi!

I am looking for some newbie help with Vector variable.

I don't know how to edit the values of an vector variable in realtime, only in the defaultProperties.

I have this variable in the defaultProperties:

defaultProperties
{
CrossHairCoordinates=(U=256,V=64,UL=64,VL=64)
}

I want to change the values "U", "V", "UL" and "VL".

I tried many things but doesn't work.

like:

CrossHairCoordinates = (256,64,64,64);
or
CrossHairCoordinates=(U=256,V=64,UL=64,VL=64);

anyway, I appreciate any kind of help, thanks!

First, that isn't a Vector. A vector has X, Y, and Z components. (But that is really beside the point)

This should work:

CrossHairCoordinates.U = 256;
CrossHairCoordinates.V = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.UL = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.VL = 64;

Oh, I thought that was a vector, sorry, hehe

There is no error when I compile the code, but this doesn't change the cursor even if I call this again: CrosshairImage=Texture2D'TormentoPack01.HUD.h_Cros sHairs'

:x

Here is a piece of code:


Switch(FlashLightBrightness)
{
case 0:
BrightnessSpot = 0.f;
FlashLightBrightness = 1;
CrossHairCoordinates.U = 256;
CrossHairCoordinates.V = 448;
CrossHairCoordinates.UL = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.VL = 64;
CrosshairImage=Texture2D'TormentoPack01.HUD.h_Cros sHairs';
break;

case 1:
BrightnessSpot = 1.f;
FlashLightBrightness = 0;
CrossHairCoordinates.U = 256;
CrossHairCoordinates.V = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.UL = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.VL = 64;
CrosshairImage=Texture2D'TormentoPack01.HUD.h_Cros sHairs';
break;
}

Dude you need to draw the crossahair image, even if you are extending UTWeapon, nothing is magic ;). That coordinates and the crosshair image will set you up, you need to call a fucntion from the HUD class each DrawHUD() call to display the crosshair

But this CrosshairImage=Texture2D'TormentoPack01.HUD.h_Cros sHairs' has a lot of crosshairs made by the udk, it's a unique file, If I change these values from the defaultproperties it works:



CrossHairCoordinates.U = 256;
CrossHairCoordinates.V = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.UL = 64;
CrossHairCoordinates.VL = 64;


I tried to change the Crosshair image file in REALTIME, example:

CrosshairImage=Texture2D'TormentoPack01.HUD.h_Cros sHairs';

to

CrosshairImage=Texture2D'TormentoPack01.HUD.h_Cros sHairs02'; and it works. but what I need is to change the coordinates to keep all the cursos in one file, if I use that method (change the cursor image file) I need to create 1 file for each cursor.


------
EDIT: this "DrawHUD()" is like an update to the image? I need to call that if I change any information in the HUD like Crosshair coordinates?
