UT3 Style Mutators for UT2004 [b3 - Weapon models!]

[meowcat]

I wouldn't even know how to use such a thing.

But damn, coding this is tough. I have never done any weapon coding before, so if someone have a flow chart or something like that somewhere that tells you how the different classes and functions are supposed to work together, that would already help me a lot.

Especially the whole lot of different "Fire" functions is driving me insane and that's only the stuff from the Weapon class, not even including the actual WeaponFireClasses

Crusha, take a look at this page that explains how weapon fires work. In general, just find the UT2k4 weapon that works most closely to what you want, and then start the new weapon off of that source code (usually a pretty good way to learn the weapon code without getting too overwhelmed).

Ah, thanks. Though I am currently working on a bigger thing, namely the UltimateSaveSystem for UDK. It allows to save any Int, Float, Bool, Vector or String variable in script or Kismet into a DLL and load it from there too.
But I am a complete noob at C++.


However, afair I used one of the Fire() functions as done in other weapons and it should work just fine now. But I haven't tested it yet. I am always afraid of my own code.

if Rumple was ok, possible to add Enhanced Weapon effects? (weapon stuff nixes UT3 animations)

Adding the weapon effects should be fairly simple, just change the emitters of the projectiles. That said, I won't be doing that, since I want to try and recreate something from UT3 instead.
