EnhancedItems/EIEffects

UT :: Actor (UT) >> Effects (UT) >> EIEffects (Package: EnhancedItems)

This class is part of the EnhancedItems package by Wormbo.

Internal Variables

bool bDestroyMe

Specifies whether this effect is currently being destroyed after calling the DestroyMe() function. "Destroying" an EIEffect in this way needn't be the same as "Destroy()ing" it.

/EIDeathMessageMutator EIDMM

The EIDeathMessageMutator is spawned by /EnhancedWeapons to make the EnhancedItems death messages work. You will have to spawn it yourself if your mod doesn't contain any /EnhancedWeapons and no other mod spawned it yet.

Methods

DestroyMe( )

Starts destroying the effect. This may not have the same effect as calling Destroy(). Especially the /PlayerShellEffect subclass uses this function to start fading out the effect.

RestoreKillType( )

Reverts the effect of SetKillType(). Call this exactly as often as SetKillType() after doing damage or directly killing players.

SetKillType(bool bSplashHit, bool bHeadHit, class<Actor (UT)> DamageProjectileClass)

Prepares the specified /EnhancedWeapon or /EnhancedProjectile class' death messages to be used when a player is killed. Call this function before you damage or kill a player and revert its effect after you're done.
