Hi all,
I'm trying to create a custom HealthPickup item, and I'd like it to execute additional code either if manually used, or if auto-use is triggered on near-death scenario.
Previously, I was inheriting from CustomInventory class, so it was possible to define and use the "Use" state to execute the custom code. But when inheriting from "HealthPickup" class, this is no longer possible. So next, I tried overriding the virtual Use() function. This works when the item is manually used by the player, but on automatically triggered use of the item, the virtual function seems to be ignored.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? Should I instead look for and override one of the damage or death related virtual functions of PlayerPawn class instead?

Re: HealthPickup AutoUse with custom code execution
Health auto-use code calls the Use method on health items only if their auto-use mode is 3 (Strife-like). The other two modes use an entirely separate routine which does not call Use and instead adds to player's health directly. I don't think it can be overridden because the corresponding methods are not marked virtual.
