Time for action – Customizing the Pawn class

We're going to get more into the Pawn class in a bit, but since the GameInfo class tells the game which Pawn class to use, we'll create it now and investigate what those two things around our player are, now that we start with no weapon.

1. Create a new file in our Development/Src/AwesomeGame/Classes folder called AwesomePawn.uc. As always, we'll put some test code in PostBeginPlay to make sure our class is working:

   class AwesomePawn extends UTPawn;
   
   simulated function PostBeginPlay()
   {
       super.PostBeginPlay();
       `log("AwesomePawn spawned! =====");
   }
   
   defaultproperties
   {
   }

   That's it for this class for the moment; now let's tell the game to use our class.

2. In AwesomeGame.uc, let's set our Pawn class in the default properties:

       DefaultPawnClass=class'AwesomeGame.AwesomePawn'

3. Compile the code and run the game, and we'll see our log show up:

   [0006.55] ScriptLog: AwesomePawn spawned! =====

4. Now to get rid of the floaty thingies. As with our giant floating...
