Difference between revisions of "Legacy:LevelInfo (UT)"

Revision as of 09:06, 8 November 2016

LevelInfo holds:

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

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 with the Level pointer in any actor.

More details here: Level Properties

See LevelInfo for the UT2003 version of this class.
