substitute for Game.Getplayer() wanted.

[stonefisher]

Hi can someone please help me. been looking for hours.

 

I want to convert some scripts from working on anyone and not just the player.

 

The scripts are attached to armour and weapons.

 

I am trying to find a substitute to get the actor in place of Game.Getplayer() for the actor with that item equipped.

[shavkacagarikia]

It depends on events you are using.

[stonefisher]

Its for that pesky ghost armour script. I want to make it possible to run on anyone wearing it.

 

I got this far and then lots of headscratching and googleing to get nothin.

 

Works fine with Game.GetPlayer() in place of ActorRef

When OnEquipped fires it's parameter comes with Actor which equipped it. So for your case:

Actor ActorRef= akActor

 

But that Actor declaration isn't needed tou can just use akActor parameter and call functions on it.

I put "Actor ActorRef = akActor" into my script and compiled it and got:

Removed that line and replaced all ActorRef with akActor

First error was because you were trying to use ActorRef which was defined into event into other event. That's not how you do stuff, you should declare it out of the event.

 

Second error: I said event comes with parameter and you cannot use that parameter out of that event body.

[stonefisher]

Aaaah I forgot they couldnt be transfered between events like that.

 

I dont know how to declare it outside an event.

 

I been looking for days on how to get the actor ref of an equiped item. I suspect it counts as being inside the actors container and I will try searching that next.

Make an actor property and assign it to the actor that you want to do stuff with.

[stonefisher]

I want it to work with anyone who wears it.

 

would GetActorOwner() work? not that i can get it to work so far.

Make an actor property call it what ever you want and leave it empty. Then in Event OnEquiped set this property to akActor and use the property throughout the script.
