Wow, thanks a million Gary, appreciate the help. I'll go implement it now. While we're on the subject, do you know is there an existing function to check if the player is allowed to move there without having to do Trace Line to check for a wall?
Just in case there's a crate, or something else which they could get stuck on. The entire process is because, when I set a player model and they are in close proximity to another player, the two get stuck together. I'm using custom models which I'm unsure of their origin so it may be something to do with them. Albeit this will hopefully rid myself of the problem =) - Jason Croghan > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Garry Newman > Sent: 17 April 2006 21:26 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Moving two players apart. > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Vector v1 = Player1->GetAbsOrigin() > Vector v2 = Player2->GetAbsOrigin() > > Vector v3 = v2 - v1 > > v3 is now the vector between the two, v3.Distance() would return the > distance between them > > v3.NormalizeInPlace() > > v3 is now the normal between the two > > v1 = v1 + (v3 * 128) > v2 = v2 - (v3 * 128) > > That moves the players 128 units in the opposite direction (I might have > got > it the wrong way around). > > then it's just a case of Player1->SetAbsOrigin( v1 ) etc > > > I think that makes sense anyway.. > > > On 4/17/06, Jay C. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hey folks. > > > > Given two Vectors, if they are in too close a proximity, I want to move > > one > > of them away from the other one. > > I can already check if they are too close, it's the trig side of finding > > out > > how to move them directly away from one another that I can't get my head > > around. > > > > Vector vecDir = pInflictor->WorldSpaceCenter() - > > pVictim->WorldSpaceCenter(); > > > > Looks like a likely candidate but I'm unsure. > > > > If anyone could think of anything off hand I'd appreciate it. > > > > Thanks in advance. > > > > - Jason Croghan > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > > please visit: > > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > > > > > -- > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
