Hey folks.
I have a question about client-side events. I'm trying to program something
simple here: an entity that sends a message to the client-side telling it
to start a particle system when it spawns, i.e., a grate from which dynamic
steam emits, or something similar.
I have the following code:
void CParticleEmitter::Spawn( void )
{
Precache();
PLAYBACK_EVENT_FULL( FEV_GLOBAL | FEV_UPDATE, edict(), m_usStartParticle,
0.0, (float *)&g_vecZero, (float *)&g_vecZero, 0.0, 0.0, type, 0, 0, 0 );
}
void CParticleEmitter::Precache( void )
{
m_usStartParticle = PRECACHE_EVENT( 1, "events/particle.sc" );
}
(type, by the way, is the type of system to add)
Now, this all works fine and dandy, the event gets precached, the playback
function goes through fine, the problem is that on the client side the
corresponding function never gets called. On the client-side dll, I've
added the function declaration in both ev_hldm.cpp and hl_events.cpp, and
I've added the HookEvent in hl_events.cpp as well. I dunno, I'm perfectly
able to do weapons but for some reason this one has me at a loss, and the
one client-side non-weapon event in the SDK isn't much help. Am I missing
something required in the spawn function or on the client side that is
simply part of the weapons code?
Thanks for any help.
