UltimateMappingTools

An ONS-mapper's jack of all trades device. This allows the mapper to tweak the vehicle balance of the match right down to the last detail. Allows to specify an individual vehicle list for both teams from which the next vehicle can be chosen randomly or sequentially. Each individual vehicle entry in a list can be further modified, also with the ability to track the vehicle on the RadarMap.

Properties

Property group 'Events'

PreSpawnEvent

Type: name

Event to trigger before spawn. Not activated when the vehicle was trigger-spawned.

Property group 'ONSVehicleFactory'

BlueTeamRotation

Type: int

If bReverseBlueTeamDirection, the Vehicle will not turn by 180 degrees but by this value.

8192 = 45°; 16384 = 90°; 32768 = 180°; etc.. Negative values will rotate in the opposite direction.

Property group 'UltimateONSFactory'

bCrushable

Type: bool

Allow spawning over colliding actors.

bEnabled

Type: bool

Factory is triggered "on" at the beginning.

Default value: True

bIndependentFactory

Type: bool

PowerNode has no influence on the factory's activity or team number.

bRandomFlip

Type: bool

Neutral vehicles may face in BlueTeamRotation.

bTriggeredSpawn

Type: bool

If True, this factory will immediately spawn a vehicle when being triggered.

If False, triggering will enable the factory and untriggering will disable it.

bUniqueVehicle

Type: bool

Factory spawns only a limited number of vehicles, there will be no second one when they are destroyed. MaxVehicleCount determines the number of vehicles that can be spawned.

bUseStaticTeams

Type: bool

Factory works only for one team.

NotLockedForTeam

Type: byte

This will always lock the Vehicles for the TeamNum that is NOT entered here. 255 is normal ONS, 0 will always lock this for Blue, 1 always for Red.

(Hack for Minigun turrets - it makes pretty much only sense to use this with them at the team's Core)

Default value: 255

PreSpawnTime

Type: float

Time before spawn to trigger PrepSpawn-Event and -Effect.

Default value: 2.0

RetrySpawnTime

Type: float

Interval to wait if spawn area is blocked.

Default value: 1.0

StaticTeamNum

Type: byte

0= red, 1= blue, 255= neutral / none

TeamNums are switched automatically on Reset, if necessary. This is primarily used in combination with bIndependentFactory.

VehicleListBlue

Type: array<SpawnedVehicleProperties>

List for random vehicle spawn if blue has the factory

VehicleListRed

Type: array<SpawnedVehicleProperties>

List for random vehicle spawn if red or neutral has the factory

VehicleSelectionType

Type: EVehicleSelectionType

Which method should be used to select the vehicle for spawning.

Internal variables

bInitiallyEnabled

Type: bool

Needed for Reset().

RadarRI

Type: UltimateONSRadarHUDRI

Takes care of spawning the HUDOverlay on the client.

RandomArrayNumber

Type: int

For accessing the properties of the individual vehicle

SequentialArrayNumberRed

Type: int

Same, but in a sequential order.

SequentialArrayNumberBlue

Type: int

Need seperate ones for Red and Blue.

Default values

Property	Value
DrawType	DT_Sprite

Enums

ESpawnSize

The size of the spawneffect particle ring around the vehicle to use.

SIZE_None 

SIZE_Scorpion 

SIZE_Manta 

SIZE_Raptor 

SIZE_Hellbender 

SIZE_Goliath 

SIZE_Leviathan 

EVehicleSelectionType

Which method should be used to select the vehicle for spawning.

VST_Random 

Random from list, equal chances for everyone.

VST_Probability 

Use Probability values of the vehicle, so some vehicles are more likely than others.

VST_Sequential 

Always select the next entry from the list when spawning a new vehicle.

VST_OnceRandom 

Random as above, just that the choice will be used for the whole match.

VST_OnceProbability 

Use Probablity as above, just that the choice will be used for the whole match.

Structs

SpawnedVehicleProperties

A load of customization and you need to do it for every entry in the list and for red and blue separately. But it pays out.

class<Vehicle> Vehicle 

The vehicle that is spawned with this entry.

int Health 

Give the spawned Vehicle a custom Health value. 0 will use the Vehicle's default.

float SpawnProbability 

Used with bUseSpawnProbability. You can enter whatever you like, just the relative difference between the entries counts.

name VehicleSpawnedEvent 

Tag to be triggered upon spawning of this particular vehicle (additionally to the one of the factory itself). The vehicle will be the instigator.

name VehicleDestroyedEvent 

Tag to be triggered upon destruction of the vehicle. Vehicle must be a subclass of ONSVehicle for this to happen.

ESpawnSize SpawnEffectSize 

The size of the spawneffect around the vehicle to use.

bool bEjectDriver 

Eject driver when vehicle gets destroyed instead of killing him.

bool bEnterringDoesNotUnlock 

Vehicle is not unlocked when a player enters it.

float SpawnProtectionTime 

The vehicle is shielded from any damage for this many seconds after spawn (spawn protection is lift immediately when a driver enters). 0 disables this, -1 means the vehicle is protected until someone enters it.

bool bChangeMaxDesireability 

If True, use a custom MaxDesirability value to tell bots if they should use the vehicle or not.

float MaxDesireability 

Default values are: Scorpion - 0.4; Hellbender - 0.5; Raptor, Cicada, Manta, SPMA, Paladin - 0.6; Goliath, Ion Tank - 0.8; Leviathan - 2.0. Go figure what matches your vehicle best.

bool bTrackVehicleOnRadar 

The vehicle's location will be shown in realtime on the RadarMap.

bool bRadarVisibleToDriver 

Should the vehicle be shown on the radar to it's driver? Only useful if you have a large delay between the updates and want to estimate where your team sees you on the radar.

bool bRadarNeutralWhenEmpty 

If true, the vehicle is drawn with white team color when it's left.

bool bRadarHideWhenEmpty 

If true, the vehicle is not drawn when it's empty.

UltimateRadarVehicleLRI.ERadarVehicleVisibility RadarVehicleVisibility 

Here you set to which players the vehicle is shown on the RadarMap.

float RadarOwnerUpdateTime 

How many seconds have to pass before the location of vehicle is updated for the owning team.

float RadarEnemyUpdateTime 

Same as above, just for enemies.

bool bRadarFadeWithOwnerUpdateTime 

If True, the icon on the radar map will interpolate between opaque and translucent as time passes between location updates on the radar.

bool bRadarFadeWithEnemyUpdateTime 

If False, the icon will always stay fully opaque.

Material RadarTexture 

The texture that represents the vehicle on the radar. It should have an alpha channel and be set to TC_Clamp. A bunch of vehicle textures for the radar are delivered in the texture package that comes with this toolset.

float RadarTextureScale 

The image will be scaled by this factor.

int RadarTextureRotationOffset 

The image will be rotated by this (in Rotation Units), in case your texture doesn't face the right way (up is the direction the vehicle is driving to).

Functions

Events

PostBeginPlay

event PostBeginPlay ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.PostBeginPlay

Performs a check to notify the mapper if this actor is useless. References the one and only VehicleLRIMaster in the map. If it doesn't exist yet, a new one is spawned. Sets some inherited variables to the correct values, enables the factory if necessary and precaches all the vehicles in the array.

PostNetBeginPlay

event PostNetBeginPlay ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.PostNetBeginPlay

Activates the factory, either according to the closest ONSPowerNode (uses super function) or with a fixed team number, making the factory effectively independent from a PowerNode.

SetInitialState

event SetInitialState ()

Overrides: Actor.SetInitialState

Remove this factory from the PowerCore's dynamic 'CloseActors'-array. By doing this, destroying the closest Node will no longer disable this factory. Executing at this point makes sure that the PostNetBeginPlay() of the PowerCore has been called already.

Timer

event Timer ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.Timer

The main function of this actor. It handles when to call which other function.

Trigger

event Trigger (Actor Other, Pawn EventInstigator)

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.Trigger

Either enable or spawn directly if bTriggeredSpawn.

UnTrigger

event UnTrigger (Actor Other, Pawn EventInstigator)

Overrides: Actor.UnTrigger

Disable if not bTriggeredSpawn.

VehicleDestroyed

event VehicleDestroyed (Vehicle V)

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.VehicleDestroyed

VehicleCount gets reduced (if wished) and the LinkedReplicationInfo for the radar is removed, if one for this vehicle existed.

Other instance functions

Activate

function Activate (byte T)

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.Activate

Activation depending on close Nodes.

ChooseVehicle

function ChooseVehicle ()

Sets the VehicleClass to a Vehicle from the currently valid array. The class can be chosen randomly or sequential. In any case is RandomArrayNumber the index of the chosen entry in the array, so that we can find the matching properties for this vehicle when it's spawned.

Deactivate

function Deactivate ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.Deactivate

Deactivation depending on close Nodes.

Reset

function Reset ()

Overrides: Actor.Reset

Adjust this actor if the sides are switched in ONS and deletes all remaining vehicles on the map.

SidesAreSwitched

function bool SidesAreSwitched ()

Just to make the code more surveillable.

SpawnBuildEffect

function SpawnBuildEffect ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.SpawnBuildEffect

Spawns the BuildEffect emitter.

SpawnVehicle

function SpawnVehicle ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.SpawnVehicle

Spawns the chosen VehicleClass and applies the properties from the matching entry in the array. The creation of a LinkedReplicationInfo for the radar is also handled here, if necessary.

If the ChooseVehicle function chose an entry with an empty vehicle class, then the Timer is set back to the length of a RespawnTime to try it again.

UpdatePrecacheMaterials

simulated function UpdatePrecacheMaterials ()

Overrides: ONSVehicleFactory.UpdatePrecacheMaterials

Loads all vehicles in the arrays into cache to have fast access during the game.

VehicleArrayPrecache

simulated function VehicleArrayPrecache ()

Loads all vehicles in the arrays into cache to have fast access during the game.
