# TheHealer/TUTHealerAmmoPickup

## TUTHealerAmmoPickup - The Healer Part 4 of 9

In this part of the Healer tutorial, we will set up our ammo pickup class – what you see in the game. Before we get into the code, make sure that your file is set up correctly.

Filename: {Base Directory}/TheHealer/classes/TUTHealerAmmoPickup.uc

If you've changed the name of the package folder or the filename itself, make sure you make those changes throughout the code we'll be working with.

Quick Link: This is the complete source code for people who want to skip ahead. If you want to copy/paste into your file, this is the page to do it on.

#### Heading and Class Declaration

In order to keep our code reader-friendly (always a good thing if you need someone's help!), we will add a standard comment block to the top of the file. This will describe what's going on in the file.

After the comment block, we declare the class. Make sure you name the class with the same name as the filename, or bad things happen.

    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // class name : TUTHealerAmmoPickup
    // class type : Pickup
    // description: The Healer's ammunition pickup properties
    // author     : HSDanClark
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // TODO       :
    //
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    class TUTHealerAmmoPickup extends UTAmmoPickup;

- Our pickup extends (or is a child of, so-to-speak) the UTAmmoPickup class.

#### Exec Directives and Variable Declarations

None.

#### Functions

None.

#### Default Properties

    defaultproperties
    {
        InventoryType=class'TUTHealerAmmo'

        PickupMessage="You picked up Tutorial Healer charges."
        PickupSound=Sound'PickupSounds.LinkAmmoPickup'
        PickupForce="LinkAmmoPickup"

        AmmoAmount=30

        CollisionHeight=10.500000
        MaxDesireability=0.240000

        StaticMesh=StaticMesh'WeaponStaticMesh.LinkAmmoPickup'
        DrawType=DT_StaticMesh
    }

- AmmoAmount – Like I said in Part 3, this is where we define how much ammo is in each ammo pack.
