xPawn - Changing UDamageWeaponMaterial

[AZ-{OVGY}]

I'm wanting to change the udamage weapon material, I managed to track this down to being in the xPawn class, the area of code I need to change I think is this (specifically the default properties),

function EnableUDamage(float amount)
{
    UDamageTime = FMax(UDamageTime, Level.TimeSeconds+amount);
    ClientSetUDamageTime(UDamageTime - Level.TimeSeconds);
    if ( UDamageTimer == None )
        UDamageTimer = Spawn(class'UDamageTimer',self);
    UDamageTimer.SetTimer(UDamageTime - Level.TimeSeconds - 3,false);
    LightType = LT_Steady;
    bDynamicLight = true;
    SetWeaponOverlay(UDamageWeaponMaterial, UDamageTime - Level.TimeSeconds, false);
}

defaultproperties
{    
    UDamageWeaponMaterial=Material'XGameShaders.PlayerShaders.WeaponUDamageShader'
}

Is there a way I can use modify player to do this since I do not fancy making a custom xPawn just to change this little area of code, if so, how would I go about this?

Change the default property.

Class'xPawn'.default.UDamageWeaponMaterial = Material'yourMaterial';

Cool thanks, I used,

event PostBeginPlay()
{
  Class'xPawn'.default.UDamageWeaponMaterial = Material'MyMaterial';
}

Works perfect now. Although I can't seem to find a way to change the purple glow around the player when they have UDamage, does anybody know where it is?

a way to change the purple glow around the player when they have UDamage

xPawn.EnableUDamage()

function EnableUDamage(float amount)
{
    UDamageTime = FMax(UDamageTime, Level.TimeSeconds+amount);
    ClientSetUDamageTime(UDamageTime - Level.TimeSeconds);
    if ( UDamageTimer == None )
		UDamageTimer = Spawn(class'UDamageTimer',self);
	UDamageTimer.SetTimer(UDamageTime - Level.TimeSeconds - 3,false);
	LightType = LT_Steady;
	bDynamicLight = true;
    SetWeaponOverlay(UDamageWeaponMaterial, UDamageTime - Level.TimeSeconds, false);
}

=========== snip ===========
defaultProperties
{
    --snip--
    LightBrightness=255
    LightHue=204
    LightSaturation=0
    LightRadius=3
    --snip--
}

So... until/unless UDamage is active for a pawn, Pawn.LightType = LT_None
(the property is changed to LT_Steady while UDamage is active, and is reset to LT_None afterward)

If your mutator calls ModifyPawn() and sets LightBrightness=0
that should result in the UDamage glow being suppressed

Or just use default properties again, which effectively should do the same thing.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Is there a way to change it from a purple glow to say, a green glow? I cannot seem to find anything for light colour.

[Jrubzjeknf]

It's LightHue.

Sweet, I got it fixed now, thanks.
