Death Sentance Item

[Tronovision]

With little to no knowledge of UScript, I was wondering how I might create an inventory actor which emulates the damage amplifier in UT1 (not the amplifier from U1 which only increases the damage of the dispersion pistol and the ASMD). The idea is that the player picking up the item gets 2x damage for all weapons and invulerability and make them glow red for like 30 seconds but then is killed when the 'death sentance' is up (which would count as a suicide). I think this would be a pretty fair tradeoff as opponents could simply run for their lives while the player has invulerability so it would be a challenge to make it a worthwhile grab.

Any Ideas?

Cheers!

on touch you could auto activate item and in state activated change the owners damagescaling property ..

damagescaling of 1 = 1x damage, 1.5 is 1.5.. etc..

and on deactivated change it back to 1 or whatever the value was before changing it.

Thanks for the lead Casey. I will try and tinker around with the variables you refered. I am going to start with the script coding for the U1 amplifier and try and see what makes it tick (using my fragments of programming knowledge). Will post any interesting findings!

(P.S. I realized that I botched the word 'sentence' twice... Was never much of a spelling guy LOL! )
