[hlcoders] Whats the best way to make an ORB Effect?

I want to make a sphere effect (orb) but I am not sure as to what would be the best way to go abouts doing this? What if I created one single very large particle; would that be sufficient? (probably not) Thanks, Mukkan _ Express

[hlcoders] Asserts thrown when trying to debug debugging in VS2003

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi, I’m trying to debug my mod to find out why it crashes when a 2nd player joins, but keep getting a bunch of asserts thrown. Should I expect this, or does it mean things aren’t right somewhere? I get one assert before I even get into the

Paul, That completely fixed it, thanks a lot for the pointer. I was thinking/hoping it would be an easy fix. I should've thought to check the SDK Known Issues. Thanks again. Best, Nate On 16/01/07, Paul Peloski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]

[hlcoders] Placing Light Sources during Game Play.

I need to create a light source while in game; I have been looking at lightglow.h and this looks like it will be a good idea. Although; if I could find where the Flashlight source code is in the SDK; I am slightly stumped as I found it a few months back but have no idea where... :\ If anyone

If any of the asserts you get are not in that list, please add them to the list, or if you are unsure, reply with more specifics here. Or alternatively file a zilla, like I just did with http://developer.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98 ... At 2007/01/16 01:05 PM, Mike

[hlcoders] RE: Player HULL vs HIT BOXES

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I still cant get it to work. I put: CollisionProp()-SetSurroundingBoundsType( USE_HITBOXES ); at top of the CHL2_Player::Spawn() function. And in CHL2_Player::TestHitboxes(...) all I have is this line: return BaseClass::TestHitboxes( ray,

RE: [hlcoders] RE: Player HULL vs HIT BOXES

That sounds right. Use third person and the visualization code to check it: thirdperson Ent_bbox player (this will show you the bbox/collision hull) Ent_absbox player (this will show you the surrounding bounds) Sv_showhitboxes 1 (this will visualize the hitboxes) Is the absbox correctly

Re: [hlcoders] Player HULL vs HIT BOXES

Thanks Jay, I did some measuring, and it had very little impact on performance. It turns out, near misses are pretty frequent (must be those 30 raytrace/sec weapons)! Nic2: Try putting the call to SetSurroundingBoundsType at the end of the spawn function, just in case something in the
