# XPickUpBase

UT2003 :: Actor >> xPickUpBase (Package: Engine)

XPickupBase is the class used for the metal plate below the spawnpoint of weapons, health, powerups and other pickups.
Usually you don't use this class directly. Instead its subclasses such as xWeaponBase are used in the maps.

Tip: If you set Actor/Advanced → bHidden to true, the base and the "swirly things" disappear, and weapons just float there like the ones in UT.

Warning: Adding this class usually crashes the UnrealEd that comes with the unpatched UT2003 v2107, i.e. UT2003 out of the box. Install the latest patch for UT2003 to prevent this.
