Destroyig Dispersionpistol on map startup?

[Krull0r]

Hey there

I have a small question, how can I destroy the DispersionPistol on startup?

I already made a new gameinfo for my map and removed the default weapon in it, that works great while starting the map over the editor or with the open command ingame.

But if I start the map over the botmatch menu with gamemode singleplayer or other gamemodes the game gives me every time a new DispersionPistol.

Well, I'm not that much into codin' stuff.
But I may know the answer. You should launch the game with the gamemode you've made and not in SinglePlayer etc...
The problem is that your custom GameInfo won't appear in the botmatch menu.
You will have to add it to the Unreal.ini to appear so.

Not sure what you actually need - prevent adding DispersionPistol to the player's inventory list or prevent existence of DispersionPistol in the player's inventory list when the player enters the level.

Usually game types use Level.Game.DefaultWeapon to determine which default weapon (if any) to add. So, for example, if an actor of a class type with the following definition

Code: Select all

class NoDefaultWeapon expands Info;

event BeginPlay()
{
      Level.Game.DefaultWeapon = none;
}

is added to a map, then no default weapon will be added to the player's inventory list. The player may still bring DispersionPistol from previous levels and may get additional inventory (e.g. Translator) determined by a particular game type or mod.

Destroying inventory is a different story. In case of a game type that supports 227 GameRules, the inventory can be destroyed by an actor of a custom subclass of GameRules with overridden ModifyPlayer and enabled bNotifySpawnPoint:

Code: Select all

class RemovePlayerInventory expands GameRules;

event BeginPlay()
{
      if (Level.Game.GameRules == none)
            Level.Game.GameRules = self;
      else
            Level.Game.GameRules.AddRules(self);
}

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn P)
{
      local Inventory Inv;
      for (Inv = P.Inventory; Inv != none; Inv = Inv.Inventory)
            Inv.Destroy();
}

defaultproperties
{
      bNotifySpawnPoint=True
}

This still doesn't guarantee that, f.e., another GameRules actor won't add something after such a destruction.

            Level.Game.GameRules.AddRules(self);
}

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn P)
{
      local Inventory Inv;
      for (Inv = P.Inventory; Inv != none; Inv = Inv.Inventory)
            Inv.Destroy();
}

defaultproperties
{
      bNotifySpawnPoint=True
}

Thanks Masterkent this works exactly as I wanted
