Ingame, can you jsut destroy a console owned by a player when you feel for it, like wouldnt it hurt if i destroy a console and replace it with another (or even a couple of times in the same map)?

Each user has a specified console - it's specified in his Unreal.ini file. Code: [Engine.Engine] GameRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver Console=Engine.Console Language=int GameEngine=Engine.GameEngine It seems to me that the only way to change the console is to edit the Unreal.ini file of the player to change the console specification. It's seems not to be an object that you can just destroy in game. _________________ Beware the lollipop of mediocrity - lick it once and you suck forever.

So destroy() will not work, neither will spawn(). I think changing it ingame is possible.

You might want to ask Smartball / Zombie. But whatever you do, please respect the players Unreal client. I've seen more servers that tamper with consoles and other client-side objects. Smartball and Zombie (EDM5 and JCoopZ) can now successfully replace the console, but in the beginning EDM caused me headache with a buggy console replacement. Destroying a console is not a good thing because it is quite essential for gameplay, especially in coop. So what do you actually plan to perform? _________________ Alter your reality...forever.

I know replace consoles i tricky. but if you would look at a bit on this side: Create new console, Set new console to player, Destroy old one. In codeform. Code: newcon = New() 'Newconsole.newconsole'; oldcon = playerpawn.player.console; Playerpawn.player.console=newcon; Somewhere in the style of this. And yes i know above code wont work. I already considered asking Smartball or Zombie, but i know Zombie is active here so i tought he would respond sooner or later. And it doesnt seem Smartball is very active on his forum lately, if Zombie wont respond then ill email Smartball. I know him from the past. :p Regards, -SR _________________ Before asking, try the Unreal wiki here. ------------------------------ New UT3 Community site.

You can't assign const variables in UScript. If you could, however, all you need to do to destroy the console is remove ALL object references to it. Just changing the player console might do it, I can't think of any other places where it would be referenced.
