Resetting Player Translation

[Heisanevilgenius]

Hi, I have some scripted effects where a player's translation will change due to status conditions, such as an ice palette if they're frozen. The problem is, I'm not sure how to set it back to normal. If I use A_SetTranslation and use the normal palette (0:255=0:255) then it resets the player to the default green palette rather than the one created in the player setup or the multiplayer defaults.

Is there any way to revert the translation to the proper colours rather than just the default green?

The way I did it was saving the player translation to a variable and then restoring it, like so:

Code: Select all

uint storetrans;
Override void PostBeginPlay()
{
	Super.PostBeginPlay();
	storetrans=Translation;
}

//This will restore the translation:
// Translation=storetrans;

Oh, cool! Thank you

I had to make some small modifications but now it works perfectly!

(Storing a translation as a uint is depricated now so I just needed to change it to a TranslationID variable instead.)
I also put the code under Tick instead of BeginPlay in case a player changes their player colour on the fly, with a quick check to make sure they're not frozen so it doesn't save the frozen translation
