Re: [hlcoders] TF2 style player collisions (again)
Hmm, I just realised that whilst adding the test for CONTENTS_TEAM1 mask
to the ShouldCollide method, I haven't added it to the actual player
anywhere so that it can be tested against, aside from in gamemovement,
which I presume ShouldCollide doesn't care about.
Where should the mask be specified for the player, in
PhysicsSolidMaskForEntity?
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks guys,
Rich

In player class and in Gamemovement are some traces do not call to proper
function to get solid mask and assume the standard player collision masks.
All these should change to call to the function to get proper solid mask.
In the player class I remember, in Gamemovement Ladder code were some too.

Hi List,
This has been discussed before but I can't find any concrete advice to
get TF2 style player collisions working fully (team mates can pass
through each other, enemies are solid).
I've gotten as far as modifying PlayerSolidMask to:
unsigned int CGameMovement::PlayerSolidMask( bool brushOnly )
{
unsigned int playerMask = MASK_PLAYERSOLID;
if(player-GetTeamNumber() == 2)
playerMask |= CONTENTS_TEAM1;
else if(player-GetTeamNumber() == 3)
playerMask |= CONTENTS_TEAM2;
return ( brushOnly ) ? MASK_PLAYERSOLID_BRUSHONLY : playerMask;
}
And shouldCollide in baseentity to:
bool CBaseEntity::ShouldCollide( int collisionGroup, int contentsMask )
const
{
if ( m_CollisionGroup == COLLISION_GROUP_DEBRIS )
{
if ( ! (contentsMask CONTENTS_DEBRIS) )
return false;
}
if(contentsMask CONTENTS_TEAM1 GetTeamNumber() == 2 ||
contentsMask CONTENTS_TEAM2 GetTeamNumber() == 3 )
return false;
return true;
}
And this seems to nearly do it, but theres still something stopping the
player mid way through.
What else am I missing? Is it VPhysics related?
Thanks!
Rich

Re: [hlcoders] TF2 style player collisions
That would be very helpful. It's a common piece of code a lot of mods want to implement.

Re: [hlcoders] TF2 style player collisions
By the way, this is based on HL2's player push code for NPCs, so you can look at that to get an idea on how the TF2 does it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Menard Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 1:20 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] TF2 style player collisions That would be very helpful.
