UT2003 :: Actor >> Info >> ZoneInfo >> LevelInfo (Package: Engine)

LevelInfo holds:

  • information about the map (default gamemode, author, music, etc).
  • information about the zones in the map that don't have a ZoneInfo.

UnrealEd will automatically place a LevelInfo when you create a new map. It's located at the origin (0,0,0), but its Advanced -> bHiddenEd flag is set so you can't see it.

The properties of the LevelInfo can be accessed

  • UnrealEd Main Menu -> View -> Level Properties
  • by pressing the F6 key.
  • In script by the Level pointer in any actor.

More details here: Level Properties

See LevelInfo (UT) for the UT version of this class.
