Has anyone had any difficulty convincing antlion worker's spit to work properly? My workers spit, but the spit globules don't move.
Its a hl2dm mod (OB), and in order to be able to create antlion workers using CBaseEntity::Create, I minimally overrode the antlion class to create an antlion worker class, the only diference being that the spawn function adds the SF_ANTLION_WORKER spawn flag. The worker code itself isn't the problem though, but the spit code (at least as far as I can tell) The spit blobs just don't move. The correct velocity parameters are definately getting passed in, and if read off immediately after the velocity is correct, but by the next frame its zero. The movetype is right (MOVETYPE_FLYGRAVITY), and its not VPhysics, so there's no call to CreateVPhysics, and adding one has no noticable effect. Gravity is definately applied, and has no effect either, and it is possible to walk into the blobs and take damage, so the engine isn't simply ignoring them. If you're looking for it (thanks!), its grenade_spit.cpp / .h, and the files aren't included in the project by default. (I added them.) As far as I can see, all the relevant stuff is set up in the same manner as for a regular grenade, except for the call to CreateVPhysics; and I just can't see why the damn blobs don't move. This is unmodified valve code, although I had to manually include it in the server project. Note: The sk_antlion_worker_spit_speed convar is definately set, I've used Msgs to check that the right velocity vector is going in to the call to SetAbsVelocity! Has anyone else tried these guys out, with success or otherwise?
