Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yeah, I just assumed that Fabian was pointing out that ragdolls are simulated client side to make sure everyone realized that. You mod guys have it easy. Plugin writers don't get access to most of the stuff in the server dll's and, of course, not

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed

True, but the 3rd person death camera already follows a ragdoll (your clientside ragdoll). It should be simple enough to just keep placing the camera at the ragdoll's eyes rather than doing what it does for the 3rd person view (tracing a line from the center of it and placing the camera at the hit

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] You can't do much server-side with a ragdoll besides remove it. Things like ->Teleport() won't work because the coordinates are not updated to the client since each client simulates the ragdoll separately and it's probably not in the same place on

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've also done this before, via a handle to the local players ragdoll when they die and overriding the viewangles in the view setup code. The clipping thing isn't a problem as the view is setup to fade to black pretty quickly. Might make a tutori

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed

We've had this in Ham and Jam for a while now and posted a vid of it in HL2MP here: http://media.putfile.com/First-Person-Ragdoll--FRAGDOLL The only problem is the default HL2 ragdoll physics doesn't do it justice and you really need to tweak them to set more realistic weights and contraints so

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed

I did this a couple of weeks ago, it does look awesome (we'll be dropping a video of it in a week or so). We managed it by using an attachment on the model that could be used to get position / orientation for the observer view. A bit of fiddling with the observer code so it used the attachment whe

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed

It shouldn't be too hard.. You can get the rough position of the ragdoll's eyes by looking up the "eyes" attachment on the ragdoll. Should be easy enough to force the camera there instead of doing the third person view around it.. On 7/22/06, Robbie Groenewoudt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -- [
