Re: [hlcoders] Help with externs
Got it working now, in a eh rather weird way, but it works fine at least the check for grenade being thrown or not I basically looked at how IsTeamplay works and basically added WasThrown and SetThrown to hl2mp_gamerules the SetThrown is then set in the weapon file and gets it in the grenade file, have it in the delay think function cause otherwise it only checks once, and that doesn't really help:P buuut, in the code is then: StopFollowingEntity(); but it keeps folowing the player anyway. So I assume it either doesn't realize what it's following and thus it doesn't do anything orrr the velocity needs to be set again. Also effects are created after thrown but the grenade trail has turned very fat for some reason, while otherwise it was normal. could have to do with it being stuck of trying to throw but wanting to keep following at the same time? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Help with externs
Sorry I didn't answer for a while, got an reply elsewhere and tried that and have been playing l4d demo. Since I didn't get any further I took a look again at the replies I got from the list and got me thinking. Tom, you say make a bool into grenade_frag, but then there's know to set the bool to true, cause there's nothing that indicates it was thrown in the grenade_frag file. So I went thinking again, why can't I use the bool simply on the throwgrenade functions in the weapon file, answer: cause it's only called once. But think functions keep doing whatever is in the code right? so if I'm carefull to make sure it wont endlessly spawn grenades, could I make it a think function that keeps checking if the grenade was thrown yet(in similar ways that the detonate timer works?)

Re: [hlcoders] Help with externs
When you throw the grenade from the weapon file, and you create the grenade entity, you will get a pointer to that entity. If you make a couple of Set/Get functions for that, when it gets thrown you can set the boolean through those functions. You can read up about pointers/classes/polymorphism/inheritance/etc on google if you don't understand any of them. Any more questions feel free to reply ;) Yorg Kuijs wrote: Sorry I didn't answer for a while, got an reply elsewhere and tried that and have been playing l4d demo.

extern is a generic c++ thing.. it just means the variable is defined somewhere else. garry On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 12:45 PM, Yorg Kuijs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey list, have been fiddling with trying to get the bool fThrewGrenade from weapon_frag to grenade_frag using extern bool but whatever I try I can't seem to get it to work, can't find anything about externs and searched through the code for examples and it seems it can be done in a ton of ways but what I'm trying just doesn't work either I get unresolved external error, or I include weapon_frag.h and then I get 4 errors in weapon_ar2.h which are rather weird... so anybody know where to find more information about external variables? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
