Best Way of Doing Subclass with UCC

[zented]

Hey,

I've made a subclass of MuzzleFlash.cs so I can make a custom muzzle script without touching the original script.
But in ShootableWeapon.cs, it will never find my subclass because of this line:

var muzzleFlashObj = m_SpawnedMuzzleFlash.GetCachedComponent<MuzzleFlash>();

So I started to subclass ShootableWeapon.cs to be able to change the line above without modifying the original ShootableWeapon script.
But I see there are a lot of private variables and functions, making it more complicated that I thought to subclass this one.

Maybe there is a simpler way to do this kind of thing.
If anyone can give some guidance

It depends on what you're trying to achieve really. You can assign your own custom muzzle flash prefab to each individual weapon under the "Muzzle Flash" section of its ShootableWeapon component:



And this prefab could contain any custom scripts you like.
