Hi I am making a LaserGun for my hl2dm mod and I am just trying to get the
beam working first so I edited the 375 weapon code and added a constant beam
that shows once the weapon is drawn,the problem I am having is that the beam
is laggy when I move,here is my code can you please help me out?
void CWeapon357::ItemPostFrame( void )
{
CBasePlayer *pPlayer = ToBasePlayer( GetOwner() );
// set up the vectors and traceline
trace_t tr;
Vector vecDir, attachpoint;
QAngle vBeamAng;
Vector vecSrc = pPlayer->EyePosition();
// get our view model so we can find the attachment
CBaseViewModel *pViewModel = pPlayer->GetViewModel();
// get the attachment points position and angles
pViewModel->GetAttachment(pViewModel->LookupAttachment("muzzle"),
attachpoint, vBeamAng );
AngleVectors( vBeamAng, &vecDir);
Vector vecStop = attachpoint + (vecDir * MAX_TRACE_LENGTH);
// do the traceline
UTIL_TraceLine( vecSrc, vecStop, MASK_ALL, pPlayer, COLLISION_GROUP_NPC, &tr
);
//multiplayer needs this next line and the #endif that follows but for
singleplayer remove them
#ifndef CLIENT_DLL
//create the beam
Vector vBeamPos = attachpoint;
CBeam *pBeam = CBeam::BeamCreate( "sprites/laserbeam.vmt", 0.35 );
pBeam->PointEntInit( vBeamPos, this );
pBeam->SetAbsStartPos( tr.endpos );
pBeam->SetEndAttachment( 1 );
pBeam->SetColor( 20, 20, 250 );
pBeam->SetScrollRate( 25.6 );
pBeam->SetBrightness( 30 );
pBeam->LiveForTime( 0.00001 );
#endif
BaseClass::ItemPostFrame();
}
