[hlcoders] Forcing player position

Hi, A lot of times in my mod I set the player position using SetAbsOrigin. I've always done this (since HL1) on the server and it was fine but in Source the players seem to be able to take a step forward (if they're pressing movement keys as I try and reposition them) before the server

Hi, I released my Source mod last week and I've got a bunch of bugs to fix, but there are reports of people crashing servers, somehow, as soon as they join. My guess is they're typing something into console. Is there any known ways to crash the Advanced SDK? Are there some commands I should be

[hlcoders] playing an anim

Hi, so in the advanced SDK how do you play a simple full body player anim? The problem I see is that no matter what ACT_ you set up in Player.cpp, when it reaches ComputeMainSequence() the function CalcMainActivity(); is called, which just stomps all over any specific ACT_ that has been set up by
