quick newbie problem: "can't spawn player"

[madima]

basically i'm getting these warnings (followed by a "can't spawn player" error when i try to run the game):

[0041.60] C:\UDK\UDK-2012-07\Development\Src\UTGame\Classes\UTGame.uc(3369) : Warning, ClassProperty Engine.GameInfo:PlayerControllerClass: unresolved reference
to 'class'ActionPlayerController''
[0041.60] C:\UDK\UDK-2012-07\Development\Src\UTGame\Classes\UTGame.uc(3369) : Warning, Invalid property value in defaults: PlayerControllerClass=class'Acti
onPlayerController'
[0041.61] C:\UDK\UDK-2012-07\Development\Src\UTGame\Classes\UTGame.uc(3371) : Warning, ClassProperty Engine.GameInfoefaultPawnClass: unresolved reference to '
class'ActionPawn''

n'

i have basically added a folder titled "MyScripts" (with a "Classes" folder) to the "Development\Src" folder and in it ("Classes") i have added 2 files that i got from these forums: "ActionPawn.uc" and "ActionPlayerController.uc". i have also modified some properties in "UTGame.uc" to this:

	PlayerControllerClass=class'ActionPlayerController'
	DefaultPawnClass=class'ActionPawn'

i have also added the line "+EditPackages=MyScripts" to the "[UnrealEd.EditorEngine]" section in "DefaultEngine.ini". my guess is that UDK can't find the classes that i have added because i have missed a dot somewhere. can anyone help?

if it helps, the first line of "ActionPawn.uc" is:

class ActionPawn extends UTPawn;

and the first line of "ActionPlayerController.uc" is:

class ActionPlayerController extends UTPlayerController;

Probably...

PlayerControllerClass = class'MyScripts.ActionPlayerController'
DefaultPawnClass = class'MyScripts.ActionPawn'

Also I would advise creating your own game info class, extending UTGame. Even though UTGame isn't native and should be safe to edit, it's still safer and more elegant than modifying the installed game code. In the above case you'll likely run into a dependency issue anyway because UTGame is compiled before your scripts. If you try swapping the compile order around you'll run into worse trouble further down the line.

class MyGame extends UTGame;

DefaultProperties
{
    PlayerControllerClass = class'MyScripts.ActionPlayerController'
    DefaultPawnClass = class'MyScripts.ActionPawn'
}

You then need to run the game using MyGame instead of UTGame.

thanks for the reply, spoof. it seems like the dependency thing that was the problem. it worked when i made the MyGame class and i didn't even need the 'MyScripts.' part.
