This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I have completed a clientside vgui radar which works with player coordinates entirely found in the client code. However, this works fine and all, but the coordinates including the angles of even the client only gets updated as many as 10 times a second. So what happens is it looks like the radar is running about 10fps and its really choppy especially if you turn around really fast. So I was thinking about doing some kind of prediction where I delay the update a whole 10th of a second, just enough so I know the next angle of the client and I do some kind of interpolation in-between updates bases off the real time between real frames and the angle between the first and the second. in other words I fake the missing in between frames. I could do this, but it would be a lot of work for something that's already done. Is there any other way to get the client viewangle ACCURATELY every frame? Right now I use
base_player->angles[1]; where base_player is real client cl_entity_t *base_player = gEngfuncs.GetEntityByIndex( m_nEntIndexOrigin ); I use that angle as a subtraction to the raw_angle I find using the acos between both origins of the client and the current target. Anyway, it just seems like the angle only gets updates 10 times a second (roughly). My radar is running every frame. So should I proceed with prediction, or should I find another variable or view angle which is more accurate? -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
