[SOLVED]Help - XP System Not Working with Melee Weapon

[Xandrax]

So I've been following this XP tutorial: http://udkc.info/index.php?title=Tut...g_an_XP_system It's working great except that when I kill something with my melee weapons the HUD doesn't update properly. I've put logs in my script to see what is going on and based on what I'm seeing in the log all my variables update when I make a kill with my melee weapon but the HUD doesn't update. Then if I kill something with say my bow the variables update and the HUD updates but the variables in the log and what is displayed in the HUD don't match. I'm still learning unrealscript and I can't for the life of me figure out why it is doing this. Any help in this would be very much appreciated.

I know this is probably ugly code but it works for the most part. Anyone have any ideas why it doesn't work for my melee weapon?

[Xandrax]

Could it be because I overwrite the startfire, stopfire, and endfire functions and something in the normal version of those calls the right thing needed to update the HUD properly?

[Xandrax]

Well my bad. I guess my melee class is not calling the scorekill function and what I was seeing in the log was my player dieing at the end when I hit ESC out of the editor. I've put some code in the area where my mele weapon does damage and I'm trying to reference the scorkill function in my swordgame info class but I keep getting none returned so it never calls the function. Any ideas on how I can call the scorekill function in SwordGame from my BroadSwordNew class?

Maybe:
WorldInfo.Game.ScoreKill(Owner.Controller, traced.Controller);

[Xandrax]

Figured it out. Thanks for the help rquester.
