Get list of players from interaction class...

[legacy-bushbomb]

I want to get a list of all players in a game by pressing a key.

Ok, so in a typical class, lets say mutator, you can use the following code:

for( C = Level.ControllerList; C != None; C = C.nextController ) {
    if( C.IsA('PlayerController') || C.IsA('xBot')) {
        LOG("Player: "$C.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName);
    }
} 

Well from my understanding, this doesn't work in the interactions class, and this is what I've come up with for there:

foreach ViewportOwner.Actor.DynamicActors(class'Pawn', P) {
    viewportowner.Actor.Pawn.ClientMessage("Player: "$P.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName);
} 

Problem is, this only lists players that are in direct line of sight, or behind one wall. If a player is clear across the map in CTF, it does not list them until I get close to them.

End result, I want a list of all players in the interaction class. I don't know if there's a way to pull in info from another class function or anything. Thanks for any help you can provide.

and I know how to simply add a keybind to get a player list....the thing is that I need the list in the interaction because I intend on doing other things to it there.

Not sure if this is of any help but:
Level.GRI.PRIArray

Holds an array of all PRI's in a level (so it does not hold bots..)

It does include bots.

I'llbe damned it does... I'm confused now though... cause I have a function based off that that does not work with bots...

              viewportowner.Actor.Pawn.ClientMessage(GRI.PRIArray.Length);
              for (playercount=0;playercount<(GRI.PRIArray.Length);playercount++) {
                    viewportowner.Actor.Pawn.ClientMessage(GRI.PRIArray[playercount].playername); 
              }
//FOLLOWING CODE WORKS GREAT IF TARGET IS VISIBLE....
//            foreach ViewportOwner.Actor.DynamicActors(class'Pawn', P) {
//                 if( len(P.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName) >= 3) {
//                      viewportowner.Actor.Pawn.ClientMessage("Player: "$P.PlayerReplicationInfo.PlayerName);
//                }
//                } 

The above code simply puts a "0" on the screen for the lenght of the list being 0 items long. What can I do to make it work?

Use LEVEL.GRI.PRIArray...


Your missing LEVEL...

[legacy-bushbomb]

That's the problem, in an interaction class, I cannot start with "Level". If I type Level.anythingunderit I get missing parameter 1 in the simple call for the clientmessage. Any other tips?

[legacy-bushbomb]

OK, THANK YOU SO MUCh for your help, all your tips were dead on, I just needed to tweak. I added this line above it....

GRI = viewportowner.Actor.GameReplicationInfo;



I already had GRI declared as a var(), but I hadn't set GRI = anything. Never would have gotten it without your help, thanks again guys. It even lists webamin, weird.

[Hsoolien]

I guess interactions do not automatically set LEVEL.... weird...

[legacy-bushbomb]

Ok, so I can get a list of every player in the game through the interaction class now. Is it possible to get their locations too or no?
