Re: [hlcoders] Zone Entities
Well... does a player trigger the Touch() function every frame as long as he is inside the entity? You could clear the flag in the players PreThink() function, and set it in the Touch() function. Thusly, if they leave, the flag is no longer updated and is cleared. Or something like that. - Original Message - From: Mazor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2002 9:44 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Zone Entities This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I need to figure out how to code in zone type entities into my mod.

RE: [hlcoders] Zone Entities
Then wouldn't the flag end up flip flopping every frame? One frame on, one frame off, one frame on, one frame off it would cause a headache when trying to examine it... wouldn't it? -Mazor -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Daniel Koppes Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2002 5:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Zone Entities Well... does a player trigger the Touch() function every frame as long as he is inside the entity?

Re: [hlcoders] Zone Entities
You can make something like this in the Think function :
for ( loop_through_all_players )
{
if ( pPlayer-pev-origin.x pev-abs.x ...
/*some other tests to verify that the origin of the*/
/*players is between hte absmax and absmin values*/ )
{
// set the flag :
pPlayer-m_CortexsFlag |= IN_ZONE; // lol
}
else
{
pPlayer-m_CortexFlag
}
}
Here you are :) So, you don't need to set a Touch() function.

If you have an origin of an entity (func_zone or whatever) and you know the
bounding box size of the entity (pev-mins, pev-maxs), it's a fairly simple
task to determine if a player origin is between the entity min and max
coordinates...
if ((player.x = entity.min.x) (player.x = entity.max.x)
(player.y = entity.min.y) (player.y = entity.max.y)
(player.z = entity.min.z) (player.y = entity.max.z))
{
// think inside the box
}
...of course this assumes that the bounding box of the entity is axially
aligned (aligned with the X, Y, and Z axis).
