Modifying character properties?

[zunnie]

I'm trying to modify (for testing purposes) the GDI Soldier for now but this code here does not seem to work:

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other)
{
    if (Other.IsA('Rx_FamilyInfo_GDI_Soldier') && Other.HealthMax != 1000)
    {
        Other.HealthMax=1000;
        Other.Health=1000;
    }

    super.ModifyPlayer(Other);
}

 

I also tried this, with an extended test, which also does not seem to do much:
 

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other)
{
	if (Other.IsA('Rx_FamilyInfo_GDI_Soldier') && !Other.IsA('Test_FamilyInfo_GDI_Soldier'))
	{
		ReplaceWith(Other,"Test_FamilyInfo_GDI_Soldier");
	}

	return true;
}

Can anyone help me with this perhaps? How do i override the default GDI Soldier (or other characters for that matter) with a mutator?

Try checking some of the mutators Ukill has posted in the downloads page, I think part of the deck mutator has HP adjustment.

 

Edit: May show under Yosh also.

I saw those. I can replace weapons for characters just fine. But i would like to know how to replace the characters themselves.

Here is the Change health part

 

class Rx_Mutator_NormalizeHealth_Pawn extends Rx_Pawn ;

simulated event PostInitAnimTree(SkeletalMeshComponent SkelComp) {
	Super.PostInitAnimTree(SkelComp) ;
	if (SkelComp == Mesh) { SetTimer(0.5, false, 'NormalizeHealth' ) ; 	}
}

simulated function bool NormalizeHealth () {
	healthmax = 200 ;
	health = 200 ; 
	return true; 
}

Nice, that's a start. However, how do i check for specific characters such as the GDI Soldier, or GDI Hotwire and apply different values?

[Fffreak9999]

Not my area of expertise I am afraid.

Try asking @Ukill or @yosh56 or @Agent

Alright, thanks for your help though

From what I have seen so far, these properties seem to be (mostly?) contained in those family info classes.

Do you want to modify ("rebalance") health/armour for specific classes?

[zunnie]

Yes that's what i'm trying here

Replacing the Rx_PRI with my own now. Will take a while to complete. Unless someone has better ideas?
