Surely you have read the original message, and have seen that this is not the only or even the primary issue.
In any case, saving cannot realistically be implemented for some entities, such as the introductory camera sequence's particle systems, due to significant portions of the code having to be entirely client-side. If I could spirit the problem away with a few save/restore macros, I obviously wouldn't have asked the question in the first place, and would simply have done that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Avatar-X" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 12:28 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Saving and the HLSDK > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Surely you could make your entities still work when saved, i mean, the > whole point of the saving is that it restores it to the exact state it > was before. > > -av > > Cortex wrote: > > >Oups, I didn't notice that lol > >sorry :\ > > > > - Cortex : HL ALBATOR coder & mapper > > - [EMAIL PROTECTED] & ICQ : 71548738 > > > >Philip wrote: > > > > > >>You can still get to the menu by pressing ESC. > >> > >> > >> > >>>-----Original Message----- > >>>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Cortex > >>>Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 8:40 PM > >>>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>> > >>>You could do : > >>>CLIENT_COMMAND (pPlayer->pev, "unbindall"); (where pPlayer is > >>>a pointer to the player). > >>> > >>>Then, all the keys won't have any effect.
