UT inventory items
It's worth mentioning here that inventory items for Unreal Tournament can be tricky to locate in the class tree. This is because Unreal Tournament is built on top of the Unreal 1 engine.
- weapons in: Inventory >> Weapon (UT) >> TournamentWeapon
- ammo in: Inventory >> Pickup (UT) >> Ammo (UT) >> TournamentAmmo
- health in: Inventory >> Pickup (UT) >> TournamentHealth
- other pickups in: Inventory >> Pickup (UT) >> TournamentPickup
Timer Events
If you need an inventory item to fire a timer after it has been created, make sure the timer is initialised after the call to Inventory.GiveTo(). Inventory.GiveTo() calls Inventory.BecomeItem() which turns the timer off.
