King/Queen name on connecting to server

Post by DaveAnd___ »

I was wondering if it is possible to configure UTeam so that the current king's player-name is displayed when we first connect/join to server.

I.e. Like when the king changes it says "<some-player> is king", but when first connecting/joining...

At the moment we all have to press F1 or wait till the king changes (or hunt for the glow when there might not be a glow/king...).

This would also indicate to players that this is KOTH...

theres no limitation in the unreal script language that would stop you from implementing this.
other than simply knwoing how to do it of course !
it involves modifying the game_type code, and hooking into the players postbeginplay function,
and sending a suitable messsage.

thanks i like it too, I have many animated cat ones I like and have used,
even the one i posted wich wasnt G rated was my favourite for a while
on many other gaming forums, it was lucky i didnt use that one !

I dont know the code and its probably part of a large mod,
so probably beyond my fatigue level to get very far atm.
the mod itself would probably be quite quick and easy if I knew the code well though.

I have however writen a few quite chalenging scripts for unreal in my time.
