Time for action – Creating a custom GameInfo and PlayerController

Creating a custom GameInfo class is simple enough; it's just knowing where to let the game know that you want to run it. First up, let's create the class.

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

   class AwesomeGame extends UTDeathmatch;
   
   defaultproperties
   {
   }

   UTDeathmatch is a good place to start for a custom GameInfo, even for games that don't involve killing anyone, or for single player games. UTDeathmatch and its parent classes have a lot of functionality in common with those types of games including the player spawn behavior.

2. Now let's create a custom PlayerController. Create a new file in our AwesomeGame/Classes folder called AwesomePlayerController.uc. Type the following code into it:

   class AwesomePlayerController extends UTPlayerController;
   
   simulated function PostBeginPlay()
   {
       super.PostBeginPlay();
       `log("AwesomePlayerController spawned!");
   }
   
   defaultproperties...
