Hello,
I have this code for my new blood particle effect.
This is located in the fx_blood.cpp
ParticleForBlood_t bloodCallbacks[] =
{
{ BLOOD_COLOR_RED, "blood_impact_red_01" },
{ BLOOD_COLOR_GREEN, "blood_impact_green_01" },
{ BLOOD_COLOR_YELLOW, "blood_impact_yellow_01" },
#if defined( HL2_EPISODIC )
{ BLOOD_COLOR_COMBINE, "blood_impact_combine_01" },
{ BLOOD_COLOR_ANTLION, "blood_impact_antlion_01" }, //
FIXME: Move to Base HL2
{ BLOOD_COLOR_ZOMBIE, "blood_impact_zombie_01" }, //
FIXME: Move to Base HL2
{ BLOOD_COLOR_ANTLION_WORKER, "blood_impact_antlion_worker_01" },
#endif // HL2_EPISODIC
};
The bold is my added line.
In sharedefs.h i have
// All NPCs need this data
enum
{
DONT_BLEED = -1,
BLOOD_COLOR_RED = 0,
BLOOD_COLOR_YELLOW,
BLOOD_COLOR_GREEN,
BLOOD_COLOR_MECH,
#if defined( HL2_EPISODIC )
BLOOD_COLOR_COMBINE,
BLOOD_COLOR_ANTLION, // FIXME: Move to Base HL2
BLOOD_COLOR_ZOMBIE, // FIXME: Move to Base HL2
BLOOD_COLOR_ANTLION_WORKER,
#endif // HL2_EPISODIC
};
Once again what's bolded.
And finally in the npc_Combine.cpp
SetBloodColor( BLOOD_COLOR_COMBINE );
It works perfectly. No flaws except for the decal. when i shoot they splatter a
yellow alien decal. How do i make it in the human group, but have its own blood
effect to where it emits the red blood decals?
And finally.
Here is impact code. I got all impacts to work, the particles spawn, it looks
wonderful. Its just they always spawn Up as in the particle editor.
If i shoot a wall, i want the particles to come out from the side. Is that
something i set in the editor or do i make a change to this vector code. If so
what is the code i should put because know nothing about vector coding.
This is taken from fx_impact.cpp
void PerformCustomEffects( const Vector &vecOrigin, trace_t &tr, const Vector
&shotDir, int iMaterial, int iScale, int nFlags )
{
// Throw out the effect if any of these are true
if ( tr.surface.flags & (SURF_SKY|SURF_NODRAW|SURF_HINT|SURF_SKIP) )
return;
if ( cl_new_impact_effects.GetInt() )
{
PerformNewCustomEffects( vecOrigin, tr, shotDir, iMaterial, iScale,
nFlags );
return;
}
bool bNoFlecks = !r_drawflecks.GetBool();
if ( !bNoFlecks )
{
bNoFlecks = ( ( nFlags & FLAGS_CUSTIOM_EFFECTS_NOFLECKS ) != 0 );
}
// Cement and wood have dust and flecks
if ( ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_CONCRETE ) || ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_TILE ) )
{
//FX_DebrisFlecks( vecOrigin, &tr, iMaterial, iScale, bNoFlecks );
QAngle vecAngles;
VectorAngles( -shotDir, vecAngles );
Vector offset = vecOrigin + ( tr.plane.normal * 1.0f );
DispatchParticleEffect( "fx_concrete", vecOrigin, vecAngles );
}
else if ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_WOOD )
{
//FX_DebrisFlecks( vecOrigin, &tr, iMaterial, iScale, bNoFlecks );
QAngle vecAngles;
VectorAngles( -shotDir, vecAngles );
Vector offset = vecOrigin + ( tr.plane.normal * 1.0f );
DispatchParticleEffect( "fx_wood", vecOrigin, vecAngles );
}
else if ( ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_DIRT ) || ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_SAND ) )
{
//FX_DustImpact( vecOrigin, &tr, iScale );
QAngle vecAngles;
VectorAngles( -shotDir, vecAngles );
Vector offset = vecOrigin + ( tr.plane.normal * 1.0f );
DispatchParticleEffect( "fx_Dirt_Sand", vecOrigin, vecAngles );
}
else if ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_ANTLION )
{
FX_AntlionImpact( vecOrigin, &tr );
}
else if ( ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_METAL ) || ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_VENT )
)
{
Vector reflect;
float dot = shotDir.Dot( tr.plane.normal );
reflect = shotDir + ( tr.plane.normal * ( dot*-2.0f ) );
reflect[0] += random->RandomFloat( -0.2f, 0.2f );
reflect[1] += random->RandomFloat( -0.2f, 0.2f );
reflect[2] += random->RandomFloat( -0.2f, 0.2f );
//FX_MetalSpark( vecOrigin, reflect, tr.plane.normal, iScale );
QAngle vecAngles;
VectorAngles( -shotDir, vecAngles );
Vector offset = vecOrigin + ( tr.plane.normal * 1.0f );
DispatchParticleEffect( "fx_metal", vecOrigin, vecAngles );
}
else if ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_COMPUTER )
{
Vector offset = vecOrigin + ( tr.plane.normal * 1.0f );
g_pEffects->Sparks( offset );
}
else if ( iMaterial == CHAR_TEX_WARPSHIELD )
{
QAngle vecAngles;
VectorAngles( -shotDir, vecAngles );
DispatchParticleEffect( "warp_shield_impact", vecOrigin, vecAngles );
}
}
Any one know why my particles won't normalize and spawn out of the wall,
instead of still going in an upward direction on slants and walls?
Thanks,
Nick
