LocateWeapon() fails to return true

[Ed the Bat]

At an unknown point, LocateWeapon() seems to have stopped working for how I had been using it. What once returned true, when expected, now returns false in all conditions.

In the attached example, the EventHandler's PlayerEntered() function checks for LocateWeapon("Pistol"), which should return true in Doom. However, it returns false, as evidenced by the console.printf() called for each result.

Are you sure that it worked before? When PlayerEntered() is called weapon slots are empty.
Weapons are added later in PostBeginPlay() function, in APlayerPawn::PostBeginPlay() on C++ side to be precise.

If that is the case, could you suggest a better place in an EventHandler to successfully run these operations?

What are you trying to do?

I was dynamically building a list of ammotypes for my statusbar that would account for whatever weapons are available in the game.

For right now, I guess I can put this command in WorldTick and tell it to only run once for each player after waiting a few tics. It seems to be working, at least.
