Re: [hlcoders] Hitbox calculation and sizes?
Already try that and it only shows the local hitboxes for me. I mean it displays the proper hitboxes the same way they're displayed in the modelviewer. However these are totally ignored for actual hit detection when I fire on the player. :( Check this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/KGJ1Kys.jpg Thats with sv_showhitboxes 1. If I fire on the model with another client the bullets go right trough the model until about half the vertical size of it. Or in other words if I fire at the base/lower part I get hits and everything above is ignored. Since the model is pretty large/high I'm guessing that there might be some maximum height value for the hitbox? Or for the collision box? A standard playermodel reaches until about the middle of the cactus. Best regards, Tobias Didrole didr...@gmail.com hat am 1.

Re: [hlcoders] Help! Where's my reloading animation?
Thanks for your help. We're using the orange box version (source 2007). This whole networking stuff is pretty new to me so I try to understand it by looking at how the other weapons are programmed. Here's why this confuses me as I can't find a difference between how the animation is called compared to other animations or other weapon scripts. I tried to follow the whole thing and apparently CHL2MPPlayerAnimState::DoAnimationEvent never gets told to do the animation. Additionally the function: bool CWeaponBook::Reload( void ) gets only called on the server in: CWeaponBook::ItemPostFrame This makes fits as DoAnimationEvent never gets told to do an animation on the client. Now here is whats confusing me. In the same function CWeaponBook::ItemPostFrame we have another call thats written the same way but this time its inside a switch statement: switch( m_AttackPaused ) m_AttackPaused is a CNetworkVar so I figured ok, lets try and code a new CNetworkVar and write an if statement for it so the reload animation only gets called when needed. And voila it worked! So while I think I understand this I still have one last question: Is this update/linking on all clients whenever we use a CNetworkVar something Valve has written or is this something C++ does on its own? I mean its pretty convenient but it confused the hell out of my because it wasn't coded explicitly (or instantly visible for that matter). :) Cheers, Tobias Psy_Commando psycomma...@gmail.com hat am 5. Juni 2013 um 06:50 geschrieben: I might be wrong, but my guess is that by not sending a message and instead calling directly the message associated method, you're leaving the client unaware that it should play that anim.

Re: [hlcoders] Issues with player entity rotation
Thanks a lot everyone. We solved it! :) Here's how in case someone else runs into the same problem. The problem was that if we started the game with a prop model the function SetupPoseParameters failed because the model doesn't have any poses. Interestingly the function ComputePoseParam_AimYaw seems to have fallback which simply used for the case that the model doesn't have any poses. :) Thanks again and have a good week.

Re: [hlcoders] Help! How to change the $origin of a model without access to the QC file?
Hi, The problem is that I'm trying to do this with models which I can not recompile. Like every hl2 prop model. I've tried changing the player hull which gives me different collisions but the actual model is still positioned by 50% into the ground. Do you know where the height value is rehandled or how the boundary box data is calculated? I mean this seems so simply to me yet I can seem to get it to work.
