I'm implementing the chatbubble in the OB SDK beta, but I ran into a slight
problem.
When the player is looking down, the bubble is in front of them rotated to
what I guess is the players origin.
When the player is looking up, the bubble is behind them, rotated as above.
How do I get it to stay above them?
Code:
#define CHAT_BUBBLE_MODEL "models/extras/info_chatbubble.mdl"
class CChatBubble : public CBaseAnimating
{
public:
DECLARE_CLASS(CChatBubble, CBaseAnimating);
CChatBubble::CChatBubble()
{
UseClientSideAnimation();
}
virtual void Spawn()
{
SetModel(CHAT_BUBBLE_MODEL);
SetSolid(SOLID_NONE);
SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE);
BaseClass::Spawn();
}
virtual void Precache()
{
PrecacheModel(CHAT_BUBBLE_MODEL);
}
};
LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS(chat_bubble, CChatBubble);
PRECACHE_REGISTER(chat_bubble);
void CBasePlayer::MakeChatBubble(int iChatBubble)
{
//Tony; incase there already is one, and another check failed.
if ( m_lifeState != LIFE_ALIVE || GetTeamNumber() == TEAM_SPECTATOR)
{
KillChatBubble();
return;
}
//Tony; don't make new ones if you already have one.
if (m_hChatBubble.Get() != NULL)
return;
Vector fr, rt, up;
AngleVectors(GetAbsAngles(), &fr, &rt, &up);
Vector offset = GetAbsOrigin() + up * 92;
CChatBubble *pBubble = (CChatBubble*)CBaseEntity::CreateNoSpawn(
"chat_bubble", offset, GetAbsAngles(), this );
if (pBubble)
{
pBubble->Spawn();
pBubble->FollowEntity(this, false);
m_hChatBubble = pBubble; //Tony; assign it
}
}
void CBasePlayer::KillChatBubble()
{
if (m_hChatBubble.Get() != NULL)
{
m_hChatBubble.Get()->FollowEntity(NULL);
m_hChatBubble.Get()->SetThink(&CBaseEntity::Remove);
m_hChatBubble.Get()->SetNextThink(gpGlobals->curtime + 0.001);
m_hChatBubble = NULL;
}
}
void CBasePlayer::CheckChatBubble( CUserCmd *cmd )
{
if (!cmd)
return;
if (cmd->chatenabled)
MakeChatBubble(cmd->chatenabled);
else
KillChatBubble();
}
