Anybody? It seems to be rotating around the players origin, relative to where the player is looking.
From: Yaakov Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 18 March 2009 4:56 PM To: 'Discussion of Half-Life Programming' Subject: Wierd Chatbubble problem 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(); } _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
