Time for action – Making the GameReplicationInfo

One of the things a GameInfo does when it spawns is create its GameReplicationInfo, so it can send information to the players. The class to use is specified in its default properties, so let's create our own and set it there.

1. Create a new file in our Development\Src\AwesomeGame\Classes folder called AwesomeGameReplicationInfo.uc. Type the following code into it:

   class AwesomeGameReplicationInfo extends UTGameReplicationInfo;
   
   var bool bSpawnBoss;
   var float NextWaveTime;
   var int EnemiesLeft;
   var AwesomeEnemy TheBoss;
   
   replication
   {
       if(bNetDirty)
           bSpawnBoss, NextWaveTime, EnemiesLeft, TheBoss;
   }
   
   defaultproperties
   {
   }

   This will be all the information we need to pass to the player.

2. Now we need the GameInfo to use this class as its GameReplicationInfo, so let's add a line to AwesomeGame's default properties:

     GameReplicationInfoClass=class'AwesomeGame.AwesomeGameReplicationInfo'

3. Now we need to pass the information from AwesomeGame to AwesomeGameReplicationInfo...
