I only know there is a map which forces you in a spaceship vehicle at spawn. But forgot the name. |

ill take a look at it ... its lke AS-Mothership or something like that
still not quite sure if this would help beatonator though 
Edit: there seems to be a trigger that takes the players and respawns them in the building ... but i have no idea how the players spawn as fighters  |

Why not just spawn on top of the weapon? Isnt that sort of the same thing? |

I did wonder about that, however I feel that weapons in the corners of the rooms would look kinda daft.
Maybe a Trigger to "add weapon" and "remove weapon" 
EDIT: anyone know how to do this?  Im hoping its just like RFs Event system |

I've made a trigger script for that. It removes the weapons from the player.
*needs some tweaking, and online test though.
online test was succesful.
heres the code:
| Code |
//=============================================================================
// RemoveRFHandgunAndShield.
//=============================================================================
class RemoveRFHandgunAndShield extends Trigger
placeable;
var RFShotgunPickup Shotgun;
function Touch( Actor Other )
{
local RFShotgunPickup SHOT;
Super.Touch(Other);
if(Shotgun == None)
Shotgun= Spawn(class'RFSystem.RFShotgunPickup', Other);
else
Shotgun.Destroy();
if ( Pawn(Other) != None)
{
// remove Handgun
if(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFHandgun') != None)
{
Pawn(Other).DeleteInventory(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFHandgun'));
}
// remove shield
if(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFRiotEquipWeap') != None)
{
Pawn(Other).DeleteInventory(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFRiotEquipWeap'));
}
}
}
function UnTouch( actor Other )
{
Super.UnTouch(Other);
if(Shotgun != None)
Shotgun.Destroy();
}
|
You need this code for your map.
Open your map, go in actor browser, look for "Triggers" -> "Trigger"
Right click "Trigger" and click on "New".
Package will be: MyLevel
Name will be: RemoveRFHandgunAndShield.
If you want a different name, then the class name in the code.
Paste the whole code into the window and click on the 2nd button with the paper image "Compile Changed Scripts"
Now add this actor to your map, save the map and it's embedded. Once you remove all of these special triggers from the map, and save the map again, it's removed from the package.
Note that I have made this script for the MW weapons, I'm not sure if you wanted it for the MW map you are recently working on or not. If not, I can modify the script so it will work for UT2004. The script could even be advanced with drop down lists so it's possible to choose the guns from a dropdown list...but meh. |

That is perfect Frog! Excellent work!
thanks ever so much for that. I may need to remake the map though, turns out the RF characters are smaller than I thought. I thought 256 x256 x 256 is the same as 4 x 4 x 4, turns out I think it equals around 128 x 128 x 128. Its quiet cool though. The bots are friggin impossible to beat though. I think they beat me to 30 kill limit and I only got 15 |

Yea many were complaining the bots were too hard. I hope they are easier in 2.1. Havent compared to 2.0.
If you have tested it yet, you might have noticed that a shotgun pickup appears when you are standing on the trigger. If you want to get rid of this then I have a corrected code for this..I kept thinking of difficult solutions while I now got the easiest one for you 
| Code |
//=============================================================================
// RemoveRFHandgunAndShield.
//=============================================================================
class RemoveRFHandgunAndShield extends Trigger
placeable;
var RFShotgunPickup Shotgun;
function Touch( Actor Other )
{
local RFShotgunPickup SHOT;
Super.Touch(Other);
if(Shotgun == None)
{
Shotgun= Spawn(class'RFSystem.RFShotgunPickup', Other);
Shotgun.bHidden = True;
}
else
Shotgun.Destroy();
if ( Pawn(Other) != None)
{
// remove Handgun
if(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFHandgun') != None)
{
Pawn(Other).DeleteInventory(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFHandgun'));
}
// remove shield
if(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFRiotEquipWeap') != None)
{
Pawn(Other).DeleteInventory(Pawn(Other).FindInventoryType(class'RFSystem.RFRiotEquipWeap'));
}
}
}
function UnTouch( actor Other )
{
Super.UnTouch(Other);
if(Shotgun != None)
Shotgun.Destroy();
}
|
You simply doubleclick the previously created actor while your map is loaded and overwrite the whole script with this one.
The only change is "Shotgun.bHidden = True;" |

well, its kinda a hit or miss thing ... when you mix extremely accurate weapons with weapons that spray ammo ... the bots skill will act differently
the bots aim is somewhat off for all weapons ... but its never extremely off ... so with a weapon such as a shotgun the bots can easily hit you because they are close enough ...
so they are great in close quarters combat, but horrible with long range sniping(well, compared to the player  ) |

oh yes...
I havent noticed it for a long time. Now for 2.1 it's fixed.
I built 2 testing range maps, one for RF and one for MW, sized 1:1 and compared the screenshots of the targets, and did changes |

Is it a generality? I sometime play UT2004 Ictf on servers against bots (when there is no one else) and in some situation they are better than human players.
Of course the one that is guarding the flag is stupid and you can take your time to aim from afar for it doesn't notice your presence until you get closer.
But unlike players it's nearly impossible to teleport or even jump across a bot. They become really accurate as you come closer and you can't confuse them with strange moves if your close. So that's true even with long range weapons with no spray damage like super shock rifle
Don't know if it's different in MW. |

Damn, you can still see the weapon appearing?
After you load up unrealed again, will the script be the new or the old one?
I have no idea why the login isnt workign for you  I gotta ask sobe when hes online. You MAY have entered the password or username incorrectly.
Oh and I just seen that the shotgun will only have 8 shots..you can also change that if you want. Or are you going to place ammo pickups in the map? |

Hmmm, will check the script again.
Do I need to link to it, or trigger it or anything? Remember I know nothing about UED really.
So far I have...
1. Actors->Triggers->Trigger
2. Right clicked Trigger->New
3. Altered properties->MyLevel->RemoveRFHandgunAndShield
4. Copy/Pasted Script
5. Compiled Changes
6. Found the RemoveRFHandgunAndShield Trigger
7. Right clicked in Perspective, added RemoveRFHandgunAndShield
8. Build ALL
9. Save
10. Read new script, re-opened UED
11. Changed the script (which was saved previously)
12. Compiled Changes
13. Build ALL
14. Save
15. Play Test
The map is a serious fragfest 
Cant wait to get it sorted, I remade 2 of the Textures (only 4 in the map) as I thought what the hey, well actually I remade all 4 but 2 of them (the floor & walls) looked really weird. The new ceiling texture looks good as does the new doorway lights
Dang wondered if it was Sobe.
I went to reply in the thread on there and it just wouldnt let me. have tried logging in like 20 odd times. |
