I want to make an altcoin and since I am new, I wanted to know what sets the reward of a block after being mined.
In what line of what file does the block reward depend on?

main.cpp:
int64_t GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64_t nFees)
{
int64_t nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;
// Subsidy is cut in half every 210,000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years.
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / Params().SubsidyHalvingInterval());
return nSubsidy + nFees;
}
miner.cpp (within CreateNewBlock):
pblock->vtx[0].vout[0].nValue = GetBlockValue(pindexPrev->nHeight+1, nFees);
