Minor Code Problem

[Magus]

You know how weapons disappear after a few seconds if you throw them away in MP? Well, how can I get that to work on a non-weapon item?

I've tried a couple of options to no avail. Help pl0x?

[Allan]

A bit of reverse engineering from the code for EMPGrenades will help you

Code: Select all

function BecomePickup()
{
   Super.BecomePickup();
   if (Level.NetMode != NM_Standalone)
      if (bTossedOut)
         Lifespan = 8.0;
}


Add that to the code of your offending items, and they'll be vanishing like the weapons in no time

I already tried that, it doesn't work. Thanks for trying though.

[Allan]

Hmm, prehaps try putting it in PostBeginPlay() , as pickups can't become pickups, they already are pickups

[Magus]

And how would I declare a function from within another function?

[EDIT] nvm, I figured it. Still don't work though =(

[Allan]

Err... Looks like i'm running out of options...

Try this:

Code: Select all

Simulated Function PostBeginPlay()
{
 If (Level.Netmode!=NM_StandAlone)
{
  If (bTossedOut==True)
 {
  SetTimer(7.0,False)//No need for looping, the timer only needs to go once, then we'll be gone.
  }
 }
}

Function Timer()
{
Destroy();
}
