Team Deathmatch modification

[JasonX]

I have a few questions for my little team deathmatch modification:

1) How can i make each team have different player models? For example: Team Red will use Model Red A, B and C. And Team Blue will use Model Blue D, E, F.

2) How can i make each team have a different weapon set?

3) How can i make different weapon pickups appear for each team?

1) You could use the team.index variable in (controller me thinks) to find the team number. Then use if, else statements to chnage the SkeletalMesh = property in the Pawn class. That could be done by gametype, controller etc.

2) Similar except you would use give inventory. I'm not sure about picking weapons up but you could perhaps compare whether they are the right team, and if not destroy the weapon etc.

3) Dunno

for different weapon pickups you need to poke around in the render and collision code.
There you could do checks if the current player is in team 1 or 2 and if the weapon is for team 1 or 2 if they don't match you skip the render collision code. Else you execute it as usual.

Thank you all.

1). In your GameInfo class, you should override GameInfo.GetDefaultPlayerClass() to change the pawn class based on the team.
2). Override GameInfo.AddDefaultInventory().
3). Use SetHidden() to control whether a pickup is made visible based on the team of the local playercontroller. You'll probably want to override PickupFactory.SetPickupHidden() and SetPickupVisible().
