UDKPawn & Trigger

[d0m13]

Hi,

Please read second post

I have been following these tutorials

http://www.moug-portfolio.info/index.php?page=tutorials

I created a gametype that uses a custom pawn, using UDKPawn. So I have basically ended up like this

I am now doing the trigger tutorial and I am having a problem. The trigger does not seem to work unless I am using a UT game type, if I use my custom gametype the trigger doesn't work, the prompt doesn't even appear. If anyone could tell me why this might be then I would be grateful.

Thanks

OK, so ignore the last post, I did some experimenting and here is where I am.

I want some test to come up when the players touches the trigger, here is what I have go so far.

I think the problem is in this line in the trigger touch function

"PlayerController(Pawn(Other).Controller).myHUD.Ad dPostRenderedActor(self);"

I don't think the PostRenderFor is being sent to the HUD, maybe I need to fix change this line? I got it from the Mougli's tutorials.

Trigger Touch Code

event Touch (Actor Other, PrimitiveComponent OtherComp, vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal)
{
	super.Touch(Other, OtherComp, HitLocation, HitNormal);
	
	if (Pawn(Other) != None)
	{
			
			   PlayerController(Pawn(Other).Controller).myHUD.AddPostRenderedActor(self);
			IsInInteractionRange = true;
		
	}
		
}

Trigger PostRenderFor Function

simulated event PostRenderFor(PlayerController PC, Canvas Canvas, vector CameraPosition, vector CameraDir)
{
	
	
	super.PostRenderFor(PC, Canvas, CameraPosition, CameraDir);
	
	Canvas.SetPos(100, 100); //top left corner
	Canvas.SetDrawColor(255, 255, 255, ); //white
	Canvas.DrawText("AT LAST!!", , 1.0f, 1.0f); //the 2.0f is X and Y scale
	
}

I have made a basic HUD class aswell, which works fine

class BaseHUD extends UDKHUD
	config(BaseHUD);

simulated event PostRender()
{
	super.PostRender();

	Canvas.SetPos(10, 10); //top left corner
	Canvas.SetDrawColor(255, 255, 255, ); //white
	Canvas.DrawText("Hurray, it WORKS!", , 1.0f, 1.0f); //the 2.0f is X and Y scale
}




defaultproperties
{


}

If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it, it is driving me crazy.

Thanks

Nobody? All the code that I have works fine in UTGame, but in my own game mode it doesn't work.

Please could someone reply, it has been 4 days since I made this thread and not a single reply. There is obviously something I need to put in my HUD class to make the text appear, that ITHID has but mine doesn't.

I was hoping someone else has an idea what exactly the problem is.

Check if the log says anything like accessed 'none' etc.
Put `log("Message"); to the begining of PostRenderFor() and see if that is called, most likely not.

Check if self got added to this:

/** Holds a list of Actors that need PostRender calls */
var array<Actor> PostRenderedActors;

The Trigger needs something to render, otherwise it won't be called.
Try adding a mesh or bPostRenderIfNotVisible=TRUE in the defaultproperties.

The thing is, it all works when I change it to UTHUD or try it in a UT game type, but not with UDKHUD and my custom gametype, so I must be missing something. I set it up now so when I enter the trigger a texture appears, which works in UT, but not in my game. So the problem must lie with my HUD class.
