UDK Real 3D Menu Without Scaleform

Heres this then.
A menu made from in game 3D models.

The code below is for 2 types of 'button'.
1. TegButton_Actor.uc - this one has an OK button
2. TegButton_Ok - this is the ok button. can be used if you dont need an ok.

just change the StaticMesh in DefaultProperties to use your own.

Vid Here

class TegButton_Actor extends Actor
    placeable;

var() const editconst LightEnvironmentComponent LightEnvironment;
var() string Command;

auto state MenuActive
{
    event TakeDamage(int DamageAmount, Controller EventInstigator, vector HitLocation, vector Momentum, class DamageType, optional TraceHitInfo HitInfo, optional Actor DamageCauser)
    {
    local TegButton_Ok OkButon;
    local vector L;

 super.TakeDamage(DamageAmount,EventInstigator, HitLocation,Momentum,DamageType,HitInfo,DamageCauser);

    L=Location;
    L.Z=Location.Z + 100;

    //when taking damage, spawn an ok button and give it a console command
    OkButon = Spawn(class'TegButton_Ok',,,L, Rotation);
 OkButon.Command = Command;
    }

}

DefaultProperties
{
    Begin Object Class=DynamicLightEnvironmentComponent Name=MyLightEnvironment
 bEnabled=TRUE
    End Object
    LightEnvironment=MyLightEnvironment
    Components.Add(MyLightEnvironment)

    begin object class=StaticMeshComponent Name=BaseMesh

        // change this staticmesh to your own 'button' model
 StaticMesh=StaticMesh'EngineMeshes.Cube'

 //LightEnvironment=MyLightEnvironment
    end object
    Components.Add(BaseMesh)

    CollisionComponent=BaseMesh
    bCollideActors=true
    bBlockActors=true

    //default console command
    Command="quit"

}

class TegButton_Ok extends Actor
    placeable;

var() const editconst LightEnvironmentComponent LightEnvironment;
var() string Command;


auto state MenuActive
{
    event TakeDamage(int DamageAmount, Controller EventInstigator, vector HitLocation, vector Momentum, class DamageType, optional TraceHitInfo HitInfo, optional Actor DamageCauser)
    {
    local PlayerController PC;

 super.TakeDamage(DamageAmount,EventInstigator, HitLocation,Momentum,DamageType,HitInfo,DamageCauser);

    //on TakeDamage tell all the players the console command
 foreach WorldInfo.AllControllers(class'PlayerController', PC)
  {
   PC.ConsoleCommand(Command);
  }
    }

the zip is arranged in folders to make it easy for you.

UDKGame/Content/Vehicles - the vehicle package (wont work for udk versions older than november)

Dynamicaly changing the Player Pawn

How to Dynamicaly change the Player Pawn.
Put this in your Player Controller. The example here is using an 'exec' function so it can be triggered from a button press or console command.

exec function FPress()
{
//declare the variables
local pawn p;
local vector l;
local rotator r; 

//set the variables 
p = Pawn;
l = Pawn.Location;
r = Pawn.Rotation; 

// get rid of the old pawn
UnPossess();
p.Destroy(); 

//spawn a new pawn and possess it
p = Spawn(class'SomePawnClass', , ,l,r);

//use false if you spawned a character and true for a vehicle
Possess(p, false);
}

UDK Easy Save System

How to save a variable in UDK unreal script.

class Something extends SomethingElse
config(SomeIni); //this points to an ini file where stuff is saved, in this case UDKSomeIni.ini

var config int SomeVar; // putting config allows you to save the variable

//your function where you set and save the variable
function SomeFunction()
{
SomeVar = 20; //give it a value

//SaveConfig() will save whatever variables have config
// it will create UDKSomeIni.ini (if it doesnt exist) and save the variable
SaveConfig();
}
