The base class all objects. Because all other classes directly or indirectly inherit from the Object class, all constants, enums, structs, functions and operators defined here could be called "global" constants, enums, etc.

Structs

Functions

Static native functions

See Object static native functions.

Other static functions

EatStr

static final function EatStr (out string Dest, out string Source, int Num)

Removes Num characters from the start of Source and appends them to Dest. If the source string contains less than the specified number of characters, all of them are appended to the destination string.

GetItemName

simulated static function string GetItemName (string FullName)

Returns the last part of a dot-separated full object name.

Note that GetItemName(string(SomeObjectReference)) is the same as string(SomeObjectReference.Name), as long as the object reference is not None.

ReplaceText

simulated static final function ReplaceText (out string Text, string Replace, string With)

Modifies Text by replacing every occurrences of Replace with With. Only occurrences in the original text are replaced, additional occurrences created as a result of a replacement are ignored.

Iterator functions

AllObjects

native(197) final iterator function AllObjects (Class baseClass, out Object obj)

Iterates over the engine's internal object list and returns all objects of the specified class and all of its subclasses.

Note: This iterator is much more expensive than AllActors. Use it only when you have no other choice and select the base class very carefully.

Native functions

ClearConfig

native(537) final function ClearConfig (optional string PropName)

Clears the entire config section or only the configuration for the specified property and reloads the default value. For PerObjectConfig classes, only the config section for this object is cleared. Globalconfig properties are not affected unless they are declared in this object's class.

Disable

native(118) final function Disable (name ProbeFunc)

Disables the specified probe function. Invalid names, including names of non-probe functions, will generate a log warning.

Enable

native(117) final function Enable (name ProbeFunc)

Enables the specified probe function. Invalid names, including names of non-probe functions, will generate a log warning.

GetPropertyText

native final function string GetPropertyText (string PropName)

Returns the value of the specified property as a string. The result may differ from the value typecasted to string. Especially arrays and all kinds of structs can be converted to a string representation. This function will return an empty string if the specified property doesn't exist or is not public.

GetReferencers

native final function GetReferencers (Object Target, out array<Object> Referencers)

Builds a list of objects referencing the specified object.

GetStateName

native(284) final function name GetStateName ()

Returns the name of the object's current state.

GotoState

native(113) final function GotoState (optional name NewState, optional name Label)

Switches to a new state and optionally starts executing that state's state code at the specified label. If the object previously was in a state, that state's EndState() event is called right before the state switch. If a valid NewState name was specified, that new state's BeginState() event is called right after the state switch.

Parameters:

• NewState - The new state's name. If the empty name '' was specified, the object will be in the null state after the switch and no BeginState() event is executed. The special name 'Auto' is a synonym for the state with the auto modifier. This parameter defaults to the current state's name if omitted.
• Label - The state label to begin state code execution at. Defaults to 'Begin' if omitted. Unless the label was omitted, an invalid label name will generate a log warning.

IsA

native(303) final function bool IsA (name ClassName)

Returns True if the object's Class name equals ClassName or if the object's class directly or indirectly extends a class with that name.

IsInState

native(281) final function bool IsInState (name TestState)

Returns True if the object's current state's name equals TestState or if the current state directly or indirectly extends a parent state with that name.

IsOnConsole

native final function bool IsOnConsole ()

Returns True if the game runs on a console platform, e.g. Xbox.

IsSoaking

native final function bool IsSoaking ()

PlatformIs64Bit

native final function bool PlatformIs64Bit ()

Returns True if the game runs through its 64bit binaries. With 32bit game binaries this function always returns False, even if the underlying operating system and hardware are 64bit.

PlatformIsMacOS

native final function bool PlatformIsMacOS ()

Returns True if the game runs under MacOS.

PlatformIsUnix

native final function bool PlatformIsUnix ()

Returns True if the game runs on a 32bit or 64bit Unix platform, e.g. Linux.

PlatformIsWindows

native final function bool PlatformIsWindows ()

Returns True if the game runs on a 32bit or 64bit Windows platform.

SaveConfig

native(536) final function SaveConfig ()

Saves this objects configurable properties. For PerObjectConfig classes, the values of configurable properties are written to a separate section labeled with this object's name and its class name. For other classes, the values of configurable properties are written to the object's class config section and also become the class default values. Values of globalconfig properties are written to the config section of the class that declared the property.

SetPropertyText

native final function bool SetPropertyText (string PropName, string PropValue)

Sets the value of the specified property. The format of the PropValue is similar to the return value of the GetPropertyText() function. If the specfied property doesn't exist, is declared with the const modifier or not public, no new value is assigned. SetPropertyText() will return False in this case.

Note that the return value True does not automatically mean that a valid new value was assigned to the property. An invalidly formatted value string could have unpredictable results. Depending on the type of property, nothing could happen at all, a null value may be assigned or even only a partial value, especially for struct properties.

Events

BeginState

event BeginState ()

Called for the new state right after the state switch before GotoState() returns.

Created

event Created ()

Called for non-Actor objects right before the new operator returns.

EndState

event EndState ()

Called for the old state right before the state switch during GotoState().

Other instance functions

RandRange

final function float RandRange (float Min, float Max)

Returns a random float value between Min and Max. Since this is an instance functions, you will have to use FRand() to generate the desired range of values:

Min + (Max - Min) * FRand()

Operators

See Object operators.
