Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
Sorry dont meen to be a pain I am trying to use my brain :) (little poem brewing there) anyways yeah I had been trying to debug it but it wasnt breaking anywhere. The code got really messy so I scrapped it and started again the other way around checking your dynamic_cast (still dont understand how that works) for the npc and then else pWeapon = getactive weapon etc for the player and it works perfectly. I guess I just needed to look at it from a different angle. Thanks a ton though for the help much appreciated. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
Thats what I'm trying to do yeah. but its not the muzzle flash. There are
two events for that one for player and one for npc so thats no problem. This
is with regard to the ejectbrass1 event that handles the ejecting the shells
when firing weapons.
My entire case looks like this.
case CL_EVENT_EJECTBRASS1:
if ( m_Attachments.Count() 0 )
{
C_BaseCombatWeapon *pWeapon = GetActiveWeapon();
if (!pWeapon)
break;
C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
if (!pPlayer)
break;
C_BaseCombatCharacter *pOwner = ( pWeapon-GetOwner() );
if (!pOwner)
break;
bool bIsLocalPlayer = pPlayer pPlayer == pOwner;
if ( bIsLocalPlayer )
{
*pWeapon = GetActiveWeapon();
if ( !pWeapon )
break;
if( pWeapon-GetAttachment( LookupAttachment( 1 ), attachOrigin,
attachAngles ) )
{
tempents-EjectBrass( attachOrigin, attachAngles, GetAbsAngles(), atoi(
options ) );
}
}
else
{
break;
}
}
break;
At the moment it runs the event when the player fires as well as when the
enemy fires.

Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
As I said. Look at the definition of GetActiveWeapon in c_basecombatweapon.cpp.
GetActiveWeapon always returns the active weapon of the local player. The owner
will always be the local player and you use this weapon as the destination of
the muzzleflash - every muzzleflash will be send to the local players weapon.

Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
Hm, the C_BaseAnimating object you run this code in is the weapon itself isnt
it? If this is correct, use something like
C_BaseCombatWeapon *pWeapon = dynamic_cast C_BaseCombatWeapon ( this );
instead of GetActiveWeapon()

Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
Hmm this is odd. The enemy's eject brass is working but not the player.
Thing is that meens that its getting past
bool bIsLocalPlayer = pPlayer pPlayer == pOwner;
if ( bIsLocalPlayer )
otherwise it would go to the else and play the normal ejectbrass which
the enemy is using so somehow its not actually sending out the effect. So I
cant understand where its messing up. What does the dynamic_cast actually
do?
this part of the code currently looks like this:
if ( bIsLocalPlayer )
{
//C_BaseCombatWeapon *pWeapon = GetActiveWeapon();
C_BaseCombatWeapon *pWeapon = dynamic_cast C_BaseCombatWeapon* ( this );
if ( !pWeapon )
break;
if( pWeapon-GetAttachment( LookupAttachment( 1 ), attachOrigin,
attachAngles ) )
{
tempents-EjectBrass( attachOrigin, attachAngles, GetAbsAngles(), atoi(
options ) );
}
}
Its not making any sense to me anyone have any ideas on this?

I'm trying this to check if the ejectbrass event is called by the player and
it compiles fine but then when I run the game and load the map it crashes.
Note that usually as soon as you spawn in this map the enemey starts firing
straight away.
am I doing something wrong here?
C_BaseCombatWeapon *pWeapon = GetActiveWeapon();
C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
C_BaseCombatCharacter *pOwner = ( pWeapon-GetOwner() );
bool bIsLocalPlayer = pPlayer pPlayer == pOwner;

Well, if you apply it to unmodified source, it'll work. I tested it thouroughly, and luke got it working. Your problems are probably caused by something else you did. Also of note; if you're not using the hl2 view models, or your view models don't have the appropriate events, it won't work anyway, as that event will never get called. -Tony -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Hoffman Sent: October-07-08 10:36 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue Orangebox HL2DM.

Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash issue
God I hate ignorance on my own part. The wiki needs to be changed to specify
things like Outdated for Orangebox HL2MP.
Now that I've established this fact, let me revert the changes I've done
from this tutorial and then check the third person.
A side question: Can we use TF2 Shaders in our OB Mods?

Yeah, there isn't anything 'special' exactly for tf2; just VertexLitGeneric etc. It just depends on how you setup the parameters in the VMT, as the changes for tf2 are engine-wide.

Most of the cool shaders on the character models that you probably want to use are already available through the material properties of whatever material you skin your player model with.
