Time for action – Modifying the projectile

For this experiment we're going to intercept the projectile that's being spawned from our rocket launcher and modify it before sending it on its way. We'll do this in our AwesomeWeapon_RocketLauncher class.

1. Open AwesomeWeapon_RocketLauncher and add the ProjectileFire function:

   simulated function Projectile ProjectileFire()
   {
       local Projectile MyProj;
   
       MyProj = super.ProjectileFire();
       `log(MyProj);
   
       return MyProj;
   }

   ProjectileFire is originally declared in Weapon.uc. Additionally, if we take a look at the FireAmmunition function, we can see the effect that the default property of our rocket launcher here has:

       WeaponFireTypes(0)=EWFT_Projectile
       WeaponFireTypes(1)=EWFT_Projectile

   In the FireAmmunition function we can see that it uses a Switch statement to call ProjectileFire when we're using EWFT_Projectile for our WeaponFireTypes. Another piece to the puzzle!

   In our ProjectileFire function, we're using a Projectile as a local variable...
