SetPlayerClass

This article documents a Zandronum-specific ACS feature which may not be supported by ZDoom and its other child ports.

int SetPlayerClass(int player, str class, bool respawn)

Usage

Changes the class a player is currently using. Note that in order for this to work, the player must exist and not a true spectator, and the class must be a valid player class that isn't forbidden to the player (eg. the class is restricted to a team the player isn't on).

Parameters

• player: The number of the player to change their class.
• class: The name of the actor to change the player to. This must be a valid actor that inherits from APlayerPawn, or can be "random" to assign a random class.
• respawn: If true, the player will immediately respawn with the new class, otherwise their class won't change until they respawn normally.

Return Value

Returns 1 if the player's class was successfully changed, 0 on failure (eg. the player or class don't exist, or if choosing random classes is forbidden).
