UnrealScript Functions

Overview

Functions are named collections of related commands that perform a specific overall action when executed. These actions can be simple like setting the value of a specific variable or more complex such as calculating a path for an NPC to follow. Classes are basically made up of two elements: variables and functions. Variables hold data, while functions perform actions that use or modify the value of that data. These actions are what makes up the gameplay you see in the game.

Functions can not only perform actions using the data of the object they belong to, but they can also take in data and return data through the use of parameters.

Declaring Functions

In UnrealScript, you can declare new functions and write new versions of existing functions (overwrite functions). Functions can take one or more parameters (of any variable type UnrealScript supports), and can optionally return a value. Though most functions are written directly in UnrealScript, you can also declare functions that can be called from UnrealScript, but which are implemented in C++ and reside in a DLL. The Unreal technology supports all possible combinations of function calling: The C++ engine can call script functions; script can call C++ functions; and script can call script.

Here is an example declaration of a fairly simple function:

// Function to get the team a player is on
function byte GetTeam(Pawn PlayerPawn)
{
   return PlayerPawn.Controller.Team;
}

A function declaration is comprised of two parts: the signature and the body.

Function Signature

The first line of the function declaration defines how the function is identified and addressed. This is called the function's signature. The signature specifies the name of the function, what values it can take in through function parameters, what (if any) return value it outputs, and any other pertinent information about the function through the use of function specifiers.

The most basic function signature begins with the function keyword (special event functions begin event keyword instead). This is followed by the optional return type of the function, then the function name, and then the list of function parameters enclosed in parenthesis.

From the example declaration above, the signature portion is:

function byte GetTeam(Pawn PlayerPawn)

This signature is for a function named GetTeam that takes in a reference to a Pawn and returns an byte value (which you can guess by the name of the function represents the team of the Pawn that was passed in).

Functions can also have certain attributes determined by the use of function specifiers in the declaration. These generally precede the function (or event) keyword in the signature, though some must be placed in other locations.

Function Body

Following the signature is a set of curly braces that contain all of the commands that belong to the function. This is known as the function's body. When a function is called, the code within the body is executed in sequential order from top to bottom. Inside the function's body, you can declare local variables (using the local keyword) and execute any valid UnrealScript code. Execution of the function body ends when either a return statement or the closing curly brace is reached.

From the example declaration above, the body portion is:

{
   return PlayerPawn.Controller.Team;
}

By default, any local variables you declare in a function are initialized to zero or the equivalent value depending on the type of the variable (FALSE for Bool, None for Object references, etc).

Return Type and Value

Functions can be declared with a return type. This is the type of the value that the function passes back or evaluates to, also known as the return value. What this essentially means is that a function can be executed in a code statement and the result can be used as a value directly in that statement to be assigned to a variable or perform some other calculation.

To return a value, the function must be declared with a type of value to return in its signature:

function int GetHealth(Pawn PlayerPawn)

This example declares a function that returns an int value. Any UnrealScript type can be used as a return type.

In order to return a value from the function, the return keyword is used followed by the value to return. This is called a return statement and it causes the function to immediately cease execution and return the value specified. If the function declares a return type, it must return a value using a return statement.

function int GetHealth(Pawn PlayerPawn)
{
   return PlayerPawn.Health;
}

The return statement in the example simply passes back the current value of the Health variable of the Pawn that was passed to the function.

A function can also have multiple return statements, though only one will ever be used each time the function is executed. If the function body contains multiple paths the code can take (for instance when using control statements), each path must contain a return statement or a catch-all return statement must be located at the end of the function body.

function bool IsAlive(Pawn PlayerPawn)
{
   if(PlayerPawn.Health > 0)
   {
      return true;
   }
   else
   {
      return false;
   }
}

The function has one return statement for each of the possible Bool values the function can return, but obviously only one of them will be executed each time depending on whether the Pawn is alive or not.

Function Parameters

In addition to returning a value, functions can also take in values to use within the body of the function. In order to take in values, the function must be declared with one or more parameters. These are essentially local variables that can be used within the function but are populated from outside the function by passing values to the function when it is executed.

Function parameters are specified in the signature directly following the name of the function inside parentheses. Each parameter is declared as a type followed by the name used to access the parameter within the function. Multiple parameters can be specified separated by commas:

function int GetHealth(Pawn PlayerPawn)

This example declares a function that takes in one value named PlayerPawn that is a reference to a Pawn. A function parameter can be any UnrealScript type.

Parameters are accessed within the body of the function the same way any other variable is accessed; by using the name of the parameter.

Function Parameter Specifiers

Out

When you normally call a function, UnrealScript makes a local copy of the parameters you pass the function. If the function modifies some of the parameters, those don't have any effect on the variables you passed in. For example, the following program:

   function int DoSomething( int x )
   {
      x = x * 2;
      return x;
   }

   function int DoSomethingElse()
   {
      local int a, b;

      a = 2;
      log( "The value of a is " $ a );

      b = DoSomething( a );
      log( "The value of a is " $ a );
      log( "The value of b is " $ b );
   }
   

Produces the following output when DoSomethingElse is called:

   The value of a is 2
   The value of a is 2
   The value of b is 4
   

In other words, the function DoSomething was futzing with a local copy of the variable a which was passed to it, and it was not affecting the real variable a.

The out specifier lets you tell a function that it should actually modify the variable that is passed to it, rather than making a local copy. This is useful, for example, if you have a function that needs to return several values to the caller. You can juse have the caller pass several variables to the function which are out values. For example:

   // Compute the minimum and maximum components of a vector.
   function VectorRange( vector V, out float Min, out float Max )
   {
   	   // Compute the minimum value
   	   if ( V.X<V.Y && V.X<V.Z ) Min = V.X;
   	   else if( V.Y<V.Z ) Min = V.Y;
   	   else Min = V.Z;

   	   // Compute the maximum value.
   	   if ( V.X>V.Y && V.X>V.Z ) Max = V.X;
   	   else if( V.Y>V.Z ) Max = V.Y;
	   else Max = V.Z;
   }
   

Without the out keyword, it would be painful to try to write functions that had to return more than one value. Out parameters are passed by reference so modifying the parameter's value in the function will immediately affect the original. This can also be used as an optimization for large values, similiarly to C++, by specifying "const out".

Optional

With the optional keyword, you can make certain function parameters optional, as a convenience to the caller. For UnrealScript functions, optional parameters which the caller doesn't specify are set to the default value given in the function declaration, or zero (e.g. 0, false, "", none) if no value was specified in the function signature. For native functions, the default values of optional parameters depends on the function. For example, the Spawn function takes an optional location and rotation, which default to the spawning actor's location and rotation. The default value of optional arguments can be specified by adding = value. For example function myFunc(optional int x = -1).

Coerce

The coerce keyword forces the caller's parameters to be converted to the specified type (even if UnrealScript normally would not perform the conversion automatically). This is useful for functions that deal with strings, so that the parameters are automatically converted to strings for you. (See Unreal Strings)

Function Specifiers

Static

A static function acts like a C global function, in that it can be called without having a reference to an object of the class. Static functions can call other static functions, and can access the default values of variables. Static functions cannot call non-static functions and they cannot access instance variables (since they are not executed with respect to an instance of an object). Unlike languages like C++, static functions are virtual and can be overridden in child classes. This is useful in cases where you wish to call a static function in a variable class (a class not known at compile time, but referred to by a variable or an expression).

Singular

The singular keyword, which appears immediately before a function declaration, prevents a function from calling itself recursively. The rule is this: If a certain actor is already in the middle of a singular function, any subsequent calls to singular functions will be skipped over. This is useful in avoiding infinite-recursive bugs in some cases. For example, if you try to move an actor inside of your Bump function, there is a good chance that the actor will bump into another actor during its move, resulting in another call to the Bump function, and so on. You should be very careful in avoiding such behavior, but if you can't write code with complete confidence that you're avoiding such potential recursive situations, use the singular keyword. Note that this is not limited just to the particular function that is flagged singular -- all singular functions within a single object will not execute if you are currently in a singular function that is executing.

Native

You can declare UnrealScript functions as native, which means that the function is callable from UnrealScript, but is actually implemented (elsewhere) in C++. For example, the Actor class contains a lot of native function definitions, such as:

   native(266) final function bool Move( vector Delta );
   

The number inside the parenthesis after the native keyword corresponds to the number of the function as it was declared in C++ (using the AUTOREGISTER_NATIVE macro), and is only required for operator functions. The native function is expected to reside in the DLL named identically to the package of the class containing the UnrealScript definition.

NoExport

Only used for native functions. Declares that the C++ function declaration for this native function should not be exported. Only the declaration for the glue version of the function will be exported.

Exec

Indicates that this function can be executed by typing the name of the function into the console. Only valid in certain classes.

Latent

Declares that a native function is latent, meaning that it can only be called from state code, and it may return after some game-time has passed.

Iterator

Declares that a native function is an iterator, which can be used to loop through a list of actors using the foreach command.

Simulated

Declares that a function may execute on the client-side when an actor is either a simulated proxy or an autonomous proxy. All native functions are automatically simulated as well. (Note: if you override a virtual native with a non-native function, the non-native override will NOT be simulated unless this keyword is specified)

Server

Declares that a function should be sent to the server for execution instead of running on the local client.

Client

Declares that a function should be sent to the owning client for execution instead of running on the server. This flag also implicitly sets the simulated flag for the function.

Reliable

Declares that a replicated function (marked with either server or client) should be reliably sent, meaning it will always eventually reach the other end in order relative to other replication on that Actor.

Unreliable

Declares that a replicated function (marked with either server or client) should be unreliably sent, meaning that it is not guaranteed to reach the other end in any particular order or at all and may be skipped completely if there is insufficient bandwidth available.

Private, Protected

These keywords have the same meaning as the corresponding variable keywords.

Operator, PreOperator, PostOperator

These keywords are for declaring a special kind of function called an operator (equivalent to C++ operators). This is how UnrealScript knows about all of the built-in operators like "+", "-", "==", and "||". I'm not going into detail on how operators work in this document, but the concept of operators is similar to C++, and you can declare new operator functions and keywords as UnrealScript functions or native functions.

Event

Used in place of the function keyword when declaring a function that can be executed from native C++ engine code. See Events for more information.

Const

Can only be used with native declared function and this specifier is added after the function declaration. This specifier will determine whether this function should be exported as 'const' in the generated header. Example usage:

   native function int doSomething(string myData) const;
   

Function Overriding

Function overriding refers to writing a new version of a function in a subclass. For example, say you're writing a script for a new kind of monster called a Demon. The Demon class, which you just created, extends the Pawn class. Now, when a pawn sees a player for the first time, the pawn's SeePlayer function is called, so that the pawn can start attacking the player. This is a nice concept, but say you wanted to handle SeePlayer differently in your new Demon class. How do you do this? Function overriding is the answer.

To override a function, just cut and paste the function definition from the parent class into your new class and modify the body. The signature for the function in your class should match the signature in the parent class as far as name, specifiers, return type, and parameters (the names of the parameters can change, but the number and type must remain the same). For example, for SeePlayer, you could add this to your Demon class.

// New Demon class version of the Touch function.
function SeePlayer( actor SeenPlayer )
{
	log( "The demon saw a player" );
   	// Add new custom functionality here...
}

Function overriding is the key to creating new UnrealScript classes efficiently. You can create a new class that extends an existing class. Then, all you need to do is override the functions that you want to be handled differently. This enables you to create new kinds of objects without writing gigantic amounts of code.

Several functions in UnrealScript are declared as final. The final keyword (which appears immediately before the word function) says "this function cannot be overridden by child classes". This should be used in functions that you know nobody would want to override, because it results in faster script code. For example, say you have a VectorSize function that computes the size of a vector. There's absolutely no reason anyone would ever override that, so declare it as final. On the other hand, a function like Touch is very context-dependent and should not be final.

Executing Functions

Functions are executed by making what are known as function calls. A function call consists of the name of the function followed by parentheses within which any data to be passed to the function (as parameters) is placed spearated by commas.

Take the function below as an example:

function SetCollision( optional bool bNewColActors, optional bool bNewBlockActors, optional bool bNewIgnoreEncroachers );

To enable all collision for the actor, you would call the function like this:

SetCollision(true, true, true);

If the function you are calling contains optional parameters, any or all of those can be omitted when calling the function. To include a parameter after omitting other parameters, you need to add commas for each omitted parameter.

For instance, the Trace() function has several optional parameters:

/**
 * Trace a line and see what it collides with first.
 * Takes this actor's collision properties into account.
 * Returns first hit actor, Level if hit level, or None if hit nothing.
 */
function Actor Trace
(
	out vector				HitLocation,
	out vector				HitNormal,
	vector					TraceEnd,
	optional vector				TraceStart,
	optional bool				bTraceActors,
	optional vector				Extent,
	optional out TraceHitInfo		HitInfo,
	optional int				ExtraTraceFlags
);

To call this function omitting the TraceStart and bTraceActors parameters, but including the Extent parameter, the call would look something like this (assuming HitLocation, HitNormal, and End are all local Vector variables declared previously):

Trace(HitLocation, HitNormal, End,,,vect(4,4,4));

Function Calling Specifiers

In complex programming situations, you will often need to call a specific version of a function, rather than the one that's in the current scope. To deal with these cases, UnrealScript provides the following keywords:

Global

Calls the most-derived global (non-state) version of the function.

Super

Calls the corresponding version of the function in the parent class. The function called may either be a state or non-state function depending on context.

Super(classname)

Calls the corresponding version of the function residing in (or above) the specified class. The function called may either be a state or non-state function depending on context.

It is not valid to combine multiple calling specifiers (i.e. Super(Actor).Global.Touch).

Here are some examples of calling specifiers:

class MyClass extends Pawn;

function MyExample( actor Other )
{
   Super(Pawn).Touch( Other );
      Global.Touch( Other );
      Super.Touch( Other );
}

As an additional example, the BeginPlay() function is called when an actor is about to enter into gameplay. The BeginPlay() function is implemented in the Actor class and it contains some important functionality that needs to be executed. Now, say you want to override BeginPlay() in your new class MyClass, to add some new functionality. To do that safely, you need to call the version of BeginPlay() in the parent class:

class MyClass extends Pawn;

function BeginPlay()
{
	// Call the version of BeginPlay in the parent class (important).
   	Super.BeginPlay();

   	// Now do custom BeginPlay stuff.
   	//...
}

Events

Some UnrealScript functions are called by the engine whenever certain events occur. These functions, or events, can be identified easily because they will be declared using the event keyword instead of the usual function keyword.

For example, when an actor is touched by another actor, the engine calls its Touch event to tell it who is touching it.

event Touch( Actor Other, PrimitiveComponent OtherComp, vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal );

By writing a custom Touch function, you can take special actions as a result of the touch occurring:

// Called when something touches this actor.
function Touch( actor Other )
{
	`log( "I was touched!")
   	Other.Message( "You touched me!" );
}

The above function illustrates several things. First of all, the function writes a message to the log file using the `log command (which is the equivalent of Basic's print command and C's printf, with the exception on formatting rules). Second, it calls the "Message" function residing in the actor Other. Calling functions in other actors is a common action in UnrealScript, and in object-oriented languages like Java in general, because it provides a simple means for actors to communicate with each other.

Function Recursion

Function calls can be recursive. This means that the function can actually call itself. There are many situations where this is necessary or useful to cut down on the complexity of code needed to perform the desired action.

For example, the following function computes the factorial of a number:

// Function to compute the factorial of a number.
function int Factorial( int Number )
{
	if( Number <= 0 )
      	return 1;
   	else
      	return Number * Factorial( Number - 1 );
}

Static Functions

Static functions in a variable class may be called using the following syntax.

var class C;
var class PC;

class'SkaarjTrooper'.static.SomeFunction();	// Call a static function
                                        	// in a specific class.

PC.static.SomeFunction();	// Call a static function in a variable class.

class(C).static.SomeFunction();		// Call a static function in a
                                      	//casted class expression.

Timers

Timers are used as a mechanism for scheduling an event to occur, or reoccur, over time. In this manner, an Actor can set a timer to register itself with the game engine to have a Timer() function called either once, or recurring, after a set amount of time has passed.

UnrealScript timers are just implemented as an array of structs inside each Actor (an Actor can have multiple timers pending). The struct contains the amount of time remaining before the timer expires, the function to call on expiry, etc.

The game loop normally ticks each Actor once per frame, and part of each Actor's Tick() function includes a call to UpdateTimers() which will check for any expired timers and call their appropriate UnrealScript function.

The granularity is limited to the frame delta time, but there are no hardware or OS resources required. All of this is implemented in C++ so you could safely update hundreds of UnrealScript timers without any cause for concern. Of course you wouldn't want them all expiring simultaneously or every frame because they execute (slow) script code when they're activated.

Timer functions are only available to Actor subclasses.

You can create multiple timers with each a different rate. Each timer has a unique target function (defaults to Timer()).

function SetTimer(float inRate, optional bool inbLoop, optional Name inTimerFunc)

Start a timer that is triggered after inRate seconds. If inbLoop is true the timer will loop. inTimerFunc defines the function to call, by default this is the function Timer(), this value is also used to identify to multiple timers.

ClearTimer(optional Name inTimerFunc)

stops a running timer.

bool IsTimerActive(optional Name inTimerFunc)

returns true if the given timer is active

float GetTimerCount(optional Name inTimerFunc)

returns the counter value of the timer, e.g. the number of seconds since the last time the timer was executed. Returns -1 if the timer is not active.

float GetTimerRate(optional name TimerFuncName = 'Timer')

returns the rate of timer, GetTimerRate('SomeTimer') - GetTimerCount('SomeTimer') will return the remaining time for the timer.

Built-In Functions

There are a great deal of functions found in the most basic classes in the Unreal object hierarchy (Object, Actor, etc.) that are extremely useful and very handy to know by heart when working in UnrealScript creating new classes for your game.

Creating objects

In order to create a new object instance in UnrealScript, you'll use one of two functions depending on whether the object is an Actor or not. For Actors, you must use the Spawn function, which is declared in Actor.uc. For non Actor-derived classes, you must use the new operator. The syntax for the new operator is unlike that of any other function. In addition to an optional parameter list, you must specify the class of the new object and an optional template object. There is no UnrealScript declaration for the new operator, but here's what the function signature would look like:

native final operator function coerce Object new
(
   object   InOuter,
   name     InName,
   int      InFlags,
   class    InClass,
   object   InTemplate
);

InOuter

(optional) the object to assign as the Outer for the newly created object. If not specified, the object's Outer will be set to a special package which exists only while the game is running, called the "transient package".

InName

(optional) the name to give the new object. If not specified, the object will be given a unique name in the format ClassName_##, where ## is incremented each time an instance of this class is created.

InFlags

(optional, currently broken since object flags are now 64 bits) the object flags to use when creating the object. The valid values are:

• 0x0000000100000000 - Supports editor undo/redo. (RF_Transactional)
• 0x0000000400000000 - Can be referenced by external files. (RF_Public)
• 0x0000400000000000 - Cannot be saved to disk. (RF_Transient)
• 0x0010000000000000 - Don't load object on the game client. (RF_NotForClient)
• 0x0020000000000000 - Don't load object on the game server. (RF_NotForServer)
• 0x0040000000000000 - Don't load object in the editor. (RF_NotForEdit)
• 0x0008000000000000 - Keep object around for editing even if unreferenced. (RF_Standalone)

InClass

the class to create an instance of

InTemplate

the object to use for initializing the new object's property values

The actual syntax for the new operator is as follows:

ObjectVar = new[(InOuter, InName, InFlags)] <class'InClass'>[(InTemplate)];

Create an object of class LightFunction:

function CreateALight()
{
   local LightFunction NewObj;

   NewObj = new class'Engine.LightFunction';
}

Create a new LightFunction object named "NewLight", assigning this object as its Outer

function CreateALight()
{
   local LightFunction NewObj;

   NewObj = new(Self,'NewLight') class'Engine.LightFunction';
}

Create an new LightFunction object named "NewLight" in the transient package, using the object assigned as the value of the LightFunctionTemplate variable for initializing the new object's properties:

var LightFunction LightFunctionTemplate;

function CreateALight()
{
   local LightFunction NewObj;

   NewObj = new(None,'NewLight') class'Engine.LightFunction' (LightFunctionTemplate);
}

defaultproperties
{

   End Object
   LightFunctionTemplate=MyLightFunctionArchetype
}
