GameObject is an abstract, notplaceable parentclass for all gameplay-related objects players can pick up. Most (if not all) of these objects need to be brought to a GameObjective actor (HomeBase) in order to score.

## Properties

All of these properties are Hidden.

bool bHome
  Is the object at its home location?
bool bHeld
  Is the object being held?
bool bDisabled
  Used to hide the object between rounds.
bool bLastSecondSave
UnrealPawn Holder
  The Pawn that is holding the object
TeamPlayerReplicationInfo HolderPRI
  The holder's PlayerReplicationInfo.
GameObjective HomeBase
  The GameObjective where the object starts out.
float TakenTime
  When the object was taken from its home.
float MaxDropTime
  How long the object will sit in its Dropped state before it resets.
Controller FirstTouch
  Who touched this objective first.
array<Controller> Assists
  Other players who held it after FirstTouch.
name GameObjBone
  The name of the bone to attach to while held.
vector GameObjOffset
rotator GameObjRot
TeamInfo OldTeam
  Used mainly by xBombFlag to keep track of when a team has gone "on offense".

## Functions

PostBeginPlay()
  Assumes the Owner is the HomeBase GameObjective.
bool CanBeThrownBy( Pawn P )
  Returns true.
bool CanBePickedUpBy( Pawn P )
  Returns true.
SetHolder( Controller C )
  This function is given a Controller, and assumes that the controller's pawn is an UnrealPawn. This causes problems with the Vehicle Pickups mutator, which also allows picking up flags in vehicles. When a vehicle picks up a flag, the controller's pawn is a Vehicle, causing some accessed nones and other problems.
Score()
  Disables Touch(), resets Location and Rotation to HomeBase and switches to state Home.
Drop( vectro NewVel )
  Logs a drop. Sets location, velocity and switches to state Dropped.
SendHome()
  Sets location to homebase and switches to state Home.
SendHomeDisabled ( float Timeout )
  EMPTY
CalcSetHome()
  Do some cleanup before going home. Includes AI help.
ClearHolder()
  Make sure nobody thinks they're holding the object.
SetDisable( bool disable ) (protected)
  Sets bDisable and bHidden.
Actor Position()
  Get the Actor that represents the object's position. May be the object itself, the home base, or the holder.
bool IsHome
  Returns false.
bool ValidHolder( Actor Other )
  Can the given Actor hold this object?
Touch( Actor Other ) (singluar)
  This is where it gets picked up.
Landed( vector HitNormall )
  Signal to bots that it's available at it's current Location.
BaseChange() (singular, simulated)
  EMPTY
