String input into class name?

[Zaiteria]

Hello,

I'm not sure if that's the right title, but I have no idea how else to phrase it. Basically, I'm trying to set the FamilyInfo class of a Player Controller. Here's what I have so far:

class UPHPlayerController extends UTPlayerController;

var class<UTFamilyInfo> CharacterClass;

simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
  super.PostBeginPlay();
}

exec function SpawnAsChar(string CharName)
{
    CharacterClass=class'UPHFamilyInfo_"CharName"';
    ServerSetCharacterClass(CharacterClass);
}

defaultproperties
{
InputClass=class'UPHGame.UPHPlayerInput'
CharacterClass=class'UPHFamilyInfo_BaseChar'
}

The line I'm focusing on is CharacterClass=class'UPHFamilyInfo_"CharName"';. Is there a way of doing this? I get an error Error, Unterminated string constant: '; Obviously the alternative is an if function for each character, but if I can get this to work, it'll save a lot of lines of code.

Thanks,
Zaiteria

You could try to concatenate your strings with $ and then use DynamicLoadObject to get a class reference to them.

Thanks for the reply, but I just realised there is no need to overcomplicated it as much as I had. I can use this instead and just have the input include the "UPHFamilyInfo_" part. There are only 7 characters, so shouldn't be too bad.

class UPHPlayerController extends UTPlayerController;

var class<UTFamilyInfo> CharacterClass;

simulated event PostBeginPlay()
{
  super.PostBeginPlay();
}

exec function SpawnAsChar(class<UTFamilyInfo> inClass)
{
    ServerSetCharacterClass(inClass);
}
/** Set player's character info class & perform any other initialization */



defaultproperties
{
InputClass=class'UPHGame.UPHPlayerInput'
}
