UE2:ONSVehicleFactory (UT2004)

Object >> Actor >> SVehicleFactory >> ONSVehicleFactory

Package: 

Onslaught

Direct subclasses:

ONSArtilleryFactory, ONSAttackCraftFactory, ONSBomberFactory, ONSDualAttackCraftFactory, ONSHoverCraftFactory, ONSMASFactory, ONSPRVFactory, ONSRVFactory, ONSShockTankFactory, ONSTankFactory

Known custom subclasses:

Crusha/UltimateMappingTools/UltimateONSFactory, Crusha/UltimateMappingTools

The base class of all vehicle factories for the Onslaught game mode. It is automatically associated to the closest power node or power core, which makes sure the vehicles spawned at this factory match the node/core's team. Spawning vehicles are initially team-locked. Team-locked vehicles will be destroyed if the associated power node is destroyed.

Onslaught vehicle factories only have basic support for other game modes. They statically associate themselves with the nearest GameObjective and spawn vehicles for that objective's initial defending team, even if the actual defending team differs from that. This isn't a problem in VCTF, but will cause problems in Assault. The Onslaught vehicle factories also do not check for round restarts (in Onslaught this is handled by the power nodes and cores), so they may not respawn vehicles correctly at the start of a new round. For Assault maps use ASVehicleFactory instead and for Jailbreak the special JBVehicleFactory subclasses.
