I have been trying to figure out an unrealscript error lately.

Everytime I want to spawn an actor with the following default properties:

defaultproperties
{    
    bCollideActors=false
    bCollideWhenPlacing=false
    bCollideWorld=false

    Components.Add(MyLightEnvironment) // if this is missing the camera mesh will be all black


    Begin Object Class=StaticMeshComponent Name=AutomaticMeshComponent0
        StaticMesh=StaticMesh'EngineMeshes.Cube'
        bCastDynamicShadow=FALSE
        BlockRigidBody=FALSE
        bForceDirectLightMap=FALSE
        bAcceptsDynamicLights=FALSE
        bAcceptsLights=FALSE
        CastShadow=FALSE
        bUsePrecomputedShadows=FALSE
        bAcceptsStaticDecals=FALSE
        bAcceptsDynamicDecals=FALSE
        bUseAsOccluder=FALSE
        bSelectable=FALSE
        bIgnoreOwnerHidden=TRUE
        WireframeColor=(R=100,G=100,B=200,A=255)
    End Object
    AutomaticMeshComponent=AutomaticMeshComponent0
    Components.Add(AutomaticMeshComponent0)

    // Might be the cause of error
    Begin Object Class=FogVolumeConstantDensityComponent Name=FogVolumeComponent0
                Density=0.0005
                FogMaterial=Material'EngineVolumetrics.FogEnvironment.Materials.M_EV_FogEnvironment_Master_01'
    End Object
    DensityComponent=FogVolumeComponent0
    Components.Add(FogVolumeComponent0)


}

I always get the error:

appError called: Cast of DepthCamera ImprovedTestRoom.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.DepthCamera_0 to FogVolumedensityInfo failed

So, can anyone of you guys help me. Thanks, looking forward for your answers!

The properties look fine as far as I can tell. The error message is simply telling you that you cannot cast an object called DepthCamera_0 to the type FogVolumedensityInfo. Are you trying to attach the component to simply a base actor class, or are you trying to attach it to another class? If only using the base actor class, the error message is either erroneous and a side effect of another issue, or more likely not located in this location. – Evan Feb 11 at 14:43
Voting to close for "debug my code for me." This would be better asked in our chat or in a discussion forum which is designed for personal assistance. We're aiming for more universal and concrete Q&A, here. :) – Trevor Powell Feb 13 at 0:09
@Evan:Yes, all I want to do is attaching the FogVolumeDensityInfo to a sensor class I created. But it just keep giving me those errors and cause my UDK to die. Trevor Powell: Kay, sorry didn't know the rules here, thanks for the advice. – Chrisma Pakha Feb 13 at 12:37
