GetClass

Class<Actor> GetClass ()

Usage

Returns the class of the calling actor.

Return value

Directly returns the class of the calling actor. This is different from GetClassName() which merely returns the name of the actors' class.

Examples

This friendly version of the Archvile will attack by spawning friendly clones of its' target. It uses Spawn() to create the clones, which only directly accepts classes instead of class names.
