[Mutator] Headshot View

[Wormbo]

Here's a little fun mutator with no gameplay impact whatsoever:
Headshot View brings you the old UT feature of viewing through your player's eyes after dying from a headshot. "Headshot" in this sense not only is a fatal sniper or LG hit to the head, but also getting run over by a Manta. (The damage type is configured that way, there's just no logic to announce the headshot. The Wormbot IRC Reporter also picks it up this way.)

Oooh, new Wormbo code! *tucks napkin inside shirt collar*

Yes, I know I'm 3 days late, shuddup.


Btw, couldn't tell offhand from GibHeadCamera's replicated vars&props, but does it work for spectators too or just the victim xPawn? Also, is it a common practice to call PostBeginPlay from inside PostNetBeginPlay? First time I've run across such sorcery :o.


So, any other projects cooking these days, Wormbo? For this game, I mean. (Gotta remember to add this qualifier from now on, I guess, what with UT4 n' all)

GibHeadCamera extends a class that doesn't consider replication and thus does some work in PostBeginPlay that a replicated class would only do in PostNetBeginPlay. (As you can see, I overrode PostBeginPlay to no do anything when called directly.) I was lazy, so it only works for the player, not any spectator. If there's any demand, I can try upgrading the code accordingly.

I don't have access to the UT4 sources yet (no credit card, so I didn't have a way to pay so far), but then again, there are still a few UT2004 projects (e.g. Badgers) and UT3 Jailbreak to work on. Not that I actually do much coding work...
