Modifiers: private

Holds the current "Fire" status for both firing modes

PendingWeapon

Type: Weapon

Functions

Iterator functions

InventoryActors

native final iterator function InventoryActors (class<Inventory> BaseClass, out Inventory Inv)

returns all Inventory Actors of class BaseClass

Parameters:

• BaseClass - Inventory actors returned are of, or childs of, this base class.

Output: Inv Inventory actors returned.

Note: this iterator bails if it encounters more than 100 items, since temporary loops in linked list may sometimes be created on network clients while link pointers are being replicated. For performance reasons you shouldn't have that many inventory items anyway.
