Muzzle flash option

[Torax]

Does anybody know where to find full description of parameters related to muzzle flash function? And is it possible to overwrite this function or it is unchangeable?

[UT99.org]

In the options box there is Weapon Flash. This is either of the weapons bar when you change weapons offline. Or am I wrong, does this do what you are asking? I do recall something similar to disable a blinding light of the minigun when someone else is using it

I mean what affects each parameter in DefaultProperties.SomeWeapon.MuzzleFlash. And is it possible to overwrite default muzzleFlash function to change it's mechanics of spawning muzzle effects. Here is the question)

And is it possible to overwrite default muzzleFlash function

I think you have to make a subclass(or what was it called again?) ...because to over write anything in UT leads every time to a mismatch in online play.

I just searching best ways to spawn more other visual effects (like smoke or fire exhaust or sparkles) while shooting in front of weapon barrel.

Well, the muzzle flash properties you see in the weapon is all you have to be honest, and they aren't well documented anywhere, nor are that great.
In newer engines you have this sort of stuff well supported by attaching things up in joints and other points, but in this one you're stuck with the wacky muzzle flash properties alone.

Currently i have an idea how to deal. For first person view weapon will spawn effects with bOnlyOwnerSee (or parameter such like this, forgot how that bool named) set to True. And for third person view spawn same effects but with rotation attached to weapon that player hold and with bOwnerNoSee set to True. That will look better for both views but needs a lot of actors to be coded, and maybe will slow down performance..
