Hmmm. Still nothing, tried taking the Actor (trigger) out of the map, recompiled the scripts. put the actor back in... still nothing.

BTW yes there is ammo in the map. Just got my CENSORED handed to me by parker, for some reason the bots seemed to play alot more defensively this time. Last time there were 6 all over the place this time the 2 I played just sat and hid in 3 or so rooms.

hmmm pff it HAS TO change, altough I don't know, maybe something is going wrong wtih UnrealEd in that particular map.

I pretty much done it the same way.
Does the script compilers bottom line turns red when you try to compile it?
If you reload UnrealEd a 3rd time with the map, will the actor have the new code, or the old one?
Did you saved a REAL MyLevel package in any of the folders static meshes/textures/animations/system/sounds ? This package will break things. MYLEVEL is the map and must never be the name of a real package.

If it just doesn't want to work then I'd suggest you to create a new actor and name it differently. You'll have to replace all triggers by hand though.

no package called MyLevel, line DOESNT turn Red, the actor has the code you gave me to copy/paste. Do you want me to send you the map? I will probably need to redo the map though as the scale is off.

now this is weird

Under tools, there is a function called "Scale Level"

You can use this to scale everything of the level, you only need to select everything.
Note that after scaling everything will be off gird, so it's one of the last things you should do with maps.

And this will actually completely rescale my entire map? Moving Items etc? Hmmm I may try this...

Yup, everything, even scale light radii.
Everything will be positioned properly.
Of course you should make a backup before you save it.

Wait wait wait. Ok I think I have messed up here.

Ok all of the script stuff is not working, nothing is changing. Pistols and shields are still spawning with the player.

When I place the "Actor" What do I place?

Actors->Triggers->Trigger

OR

Actors->Triggers->Trigger->RemoveRFHandgunAndShield



Im using the bottom one, I highlight it, then Right-click and place it in the map. I thought it had to be Triggered by something?

Edit: I know your online now, and I wanted to get this sorted whilst you were here, but unfortunatly I have to go out for 30mins. Will check back here if I can before work later.

Oh crap, I think I forgot to mention that you have to WALK in this trigger to make it work, it will be invisible in the map (unless you set bHidden to false for debugging in "Advanced" properties)

I'll check out how to make it happen without touching this small trigger, I thought it was possible by increasing the collision radius but its not

edit.. Oh, well modified collision radius works, but the (hidden) shotgun only spawns in the center of the actor.
If you dont want to add this to every spawnpoint I think i'll have to make something different then, this one is pretty error proof in online games, though.

Ah this is the problem! LOL.

I asumed the script worked if i just dumped it in the map, didnt know you had to link to each spawn point, or put it AT each spawn point.

So whack it ON the spawn point or link it? Will just dump one at each spawn for the minute

No you dont have to link it.
Imagine this is a TriggerDoor of Red Faction which has events already included itself.

It is possible to make it remove/give weapons to players without trigger system.
However it is a much more complicated way, you'd have to embedd a written mutator script into the map, this time I was searching for a simple way, that does it's job just fine.

Hm I did not test how FAST this trigger actually works, I'll test it if its possible to see the handgun at spawn.

edit. meh, the player will only change the weapons when he moves, I guess I'll have to do something different then. However you can keep this system until I get something else to work.
