KVehicle (UT2003)

UT2003 :: Actor >> Pawn >> KVehicle (Package: Engine)

The K in KVehicle stands for Karma, and this class is controlled by some native Karma functions. The KVehicle extends Pawn, and so gets a lot of stuff from Pawn, like Health.

See KVehicle for the UT2004 version of this class.

Constants

FilterFrames = 5: The length of the CameraHistory array. (see Other Properties below)

Methods

Inherited From Actor

Destroyed ( ) [simulated]: Vehicle is destroyed, remove attached stuff, create effect, set factory vehicle count -1 (if any)
EncroachedBy (Actor Other): Overridden with no code so vehicle doesn't get telefragged.
TakeDamage (int Damage, Pawn instigatedBy, vector hitlocation, vector momentum, class<DamageType> damageType): A simple takedamage function, reduces health and destroyes the vehicle when Health is lower or equal then 0
Tick (float deltaSeconds) [simulated]: If driver tries to get out, get him out.

Inherited From Pawn

bool SpecialCalcView (out Actor ViewActor, out vector CameraLocation, out rotator CameraRotation) [simulated]: When bSpecialCalcView is True, this function is called to set the possition of the camera

New Functions

ClientKDriverEnter (PlayerController pc) [simulated, replicated to client]: Driver enters, called also on clients, mainly sets HUD
ClientKDriverLeave (PlayerController pc) [simulated, replicated to client]: Driver leaves, called also on clients, mainly resets HUD
GraphData (string DataName, float DataValue) [native, final]: "Useful function for plotting data to real-time graph on screen."
KDriverEnter (Pawn p): Driver enters, sets the controller to the vehicle, and attaches the pawn to the car
bool KDriverLeave (bool bForceLeave): Driver leaves, The driver exits at the 1st possible exit pos (not blocked) and the controller is attached to it.
KVehicleUpdateParams ( ) [simulated]: Used to update the vehicles Para on all the attached actors (like wheels)
TryToDrive (Pawn p): Called when someone tries to get in
VehicleCeaseFire (bool bWasAltFire) [replicated to server]: Called when the driver stops firing
VehicleFire (bool bWasAltFire) [replicated to server]: Called when the driver starts firing
VehicleStateReceived ( ): An event, called when a new state is received, implemented in subclass : (comment says in VehicleState, but KVehicle doesn't have a VehicleState)
