Weapon (UT)

The thing you use to shoot stuff and kill monsters and other players with.

Sometimes you can hurt yourself very badly with it too ...use with caution.

Remember: Guns don't kill people. Bullets do.

Wormbo:Usually this is true. But in Unreal/UT some weapons don't use projectiles, so here really the guns kill the people.

Properties

float MaxTargetRange: Maximum distance to target. (not used?)
class<Ammo (UT)> AmmoName: Type of ammo used.

bool bMeleeWeapon: Weapon is only a melee weapon.
bool bRapidFire: Used by human animations in determining firing animation (for still firing)
float FiringSpeed: Used by human animations in determining firing speed
vector FireOffset: Offset from drawing location for projectile/trace start
class<Projectile (UT)> ProjectileClass: Projectile used for primary firing mode when not bInstantHit.
class<Projectile (UT)> AltProjectileClass: Projectile used for secondary firing mode when not bAltInstantHit.
bool bInstantHit: If true, instant hit rather than projectile firing weapon for primary firing mode.
bool bAltInstantHit: If true, instant hit rather than projectile firing weapon for secondary firing mode.
name MyDamageType: Damage type for instant hit primary mode.
name AltDamageType: Damage type for instant hit secondary mode.
float ProjectileSpeed: Speed of ProjectileClass.
float AltProjectileSpeed: Speed of AltProjectileClass.
bool bWeaponUp: Used in Active State
bool bChangeWeapon: True, when the the player wants to change the weapon.
bool bLockedOn: Used e.g. by the rocket launcher to indicate a target lock.
bool bPointing: Indicates weapon is being pointed. Used by the AI.

bool bAltWarnTarget: When firing alternate projectile, warn the target.
bool bSplashDamage: Used by bot AI
bool bRecommendSplashDamage: If true, bot preferentially tries to use splash damage rather than direct hits.
bool bRecommendAltSplashDamage: If true, bot preferentially tries to use splash damage rather than direct hits.
float AimError: Aim error for bots. (note this value doubled if instant hit weapon)
float AIRating: Base weapon rating for switching priority.

HUD Messages

string MessageNoAmmo [localized]: This is displayed when the player wants to switch to this weapon while it has no ammo. This will be prefixed with the weapon's ItemName.
string DeathMessage [localized]: Default message to display when the player kills another player while holding this weapon. (also see Taking Damage)
Color NameColor: Used when drawing name on HUD when the HUD is reduced and the weapon change is indicated by text.

Muzzle Flash

bool bSetFlashTime: Used internally when drawing the 1st person muzzle flash.
bool bDrawMuzzleFlash: Should the 1st person muzzle flash be drawn?
byte bMuzzleFlash: The weapon is responsible for setting and clearing bMuzzleFlash whenever it wants the MFTexture drawn on the Canvas. Usually bMuzzleFlash++; is enough.
float FlashTime
float MuzzleScale: Scales the MFTexture when drawing it. This value is relative to a screen resolution of 640x480 and will be scaled for other resolutions.
float FlashO: This is responsible for the horizontal positioning of the MFTexture. (multiplied by the weapon's default FireOffset.Y and Canvas.ClipX/2, also multiplied by -0.2 when Handedness=0 or multiplied with Handedness in all other cases)
float FlashY, FlashC: Responsible for the vertical positioning of the MFTexture. FlashC is only used for Handedness=0. In this case it is added to FlashY. Finally the value is multiplied by Canvas.ClipY/2.
float FlashLength: Time to display the MFTexture until bMuzzleFlash is cleared automatically.
int FlashS: Specifies the size of the MFTexture/2.
texture MFTexture: 1st person muzzle flash texture. Height and width of this texture should be equal.
texture MuzzleFlare
float FlareOffset
