TF2 players are only solid to enemies. The way we do all the soft collision behavior on the client is by modifying their user commands.
Basically we figure out if you're near a non-solid team mate and modify your forwardmove and sidemoves accordingly. Doing it this way is why it feels smooth and prevents any prediction problems you'd run into otherwise. I'll talk to Mike about releasing the TF2 avoidance code either in the SDK or maybe we'll put it on the developer page. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maarten De Meyer Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 11:54 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] TF2 style player collisions Well I've managed to disable collisions based on team in the meantime, but don't have the soft physics push. Mind you I'm still in the ep1 engine. Basically, I had already added a custom filter to the TracePlayerBBox in gamemovement.cpp to filter gamemovement for my mod ( players can walk through forcefields, but only belonging to their team ). I just added the condition for players of the same team to that filter. So they're not blocking eachother anymore when casting rays for their movement. VPhysics has not been an issue at all for me, there's no collision. > I'm looking for the same check the "Player collisions, enemies vs > friendlies." thread for more details.
