Legacy:EnhancedItems/EIEffects

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

DestroyMe( ): Starts destroying the effect. This may not have the same effect as calling Destroy(). Especially the Legacy:EnhancedItems/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 Legacy:EnhancedItems/EnhancedWeapon or Legacy:EnhancedItems/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.

You are invited to explore the EnhancedItems-based mods' source code to see how these classes make use of the EIEffects features.
