My program doesn't have bugs. It just develops random features.
Legacy:Inventory (UT)
Abstract parent class of all objects that can be picked up by players or other actors.
The corresponding class Inventory in UT2003 only represents objects in a player's inventory. UT2003 pickups have a seperate base class called Pickup.

UT inventory items[edit]
It's worth mentioning here that inventory items for Unreal Tournament can be tricky to locate in the class tree. This is because Unreal Tournament is built on top of the Unreal 1 engine.
- weapons in: Inventory >> Weapon (UT) >> TournamentWeapon
- ammo in: Inventory >> Pickup (UT) >> Ammo (UT) >> TournamentAmmo
- health in: Inventory >> Pickup (UT) >> TournamentHealth
- other pickups in: Inventory >> Pickup (UT) >> TournamentPickup
Timer Events[edit]
If you need an inventory item to fire a timer after it has been created, make sure the timer is initialised after the call to Inventory.GiveTo(). Inventory.GiveTo() calls Inventory.BecomeItem() which turns the timer off.
