I didn't want to have that kind of information being retrieved in the hud classes, just wanted something easily accessible from the entity states.

You can set the body of the gibs. I did the same thing and made the gibs client-side (cl_gibcount, ah yeah!) After you create your temp model, set the curstate's body to be whatever you want the gib body to be.

Re: Re[4]: [hlcoders] problem with GiveNamedItem need help.
ok new updated information it does work but i wanna know why it does this
way and why it doesn't the other way. there is no use me just getting it to
work if i haven't learnt why it wouldn't work... if i can't learn that then
its just as good as never doing it.
Ok here we go i added to the cbaseplayer class 3 new vars
char string1[30];
char string2[30];
char string3[30];
now in the multiplaygamerules my new function
void CHalfLifeMultiplay::SetUpCharacter(CBasePlayer *pPlayer)
{
// 0 = no change in vgui.. 99 = nothing
if(pPlayer->m_iPrimaryWeapon != 0 && pPlayer->m_iPrimaryWeapon != 99)
{
sprintf(pPlayer->string1,"weapon_%s",SpeciesWeapons[0].PrimaryWeaponName[pPl
ayer->m_iPrimaryWeapon]);
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(pPlayer->string1);
}
if(pPlayer->m_iSecondaryWeapon != 0 && pPlayer->m_iSecondaryWeapon != 99)
{
sprintf(pPlayer->string2,
"weapon_%s",SpeciesWeapons[0].SecondaryWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iSecondaryWeapo
n]);
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(pPlayer->string2);
}
if(pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatWeapon != 0 && pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatWeapon !=
99)
{
sprintf(pPlayer->string3,
"weapon_%s",SpeciesWeapons[0].CloseCombatWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatW
eapon]);
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(pPlayer->string3);
}
}
now its funny cause if i only use just one of them say string1 to do them
all so replace in the above code all occurences of string2 and string3 and
put
string1 in its place. Now i get back to my original problem and yet IF i use
3 seperate strings instead of the same one for all then its ok.
Using what you said cruise say if i did
char *temp = new char[30];
then do the sprintf's for each and give the named items then it works fine
but ONLY if i don't delete the char at the end of the function... if i put
delete temp; at the end of the function it goes screwy. But if i don't
delete it then the memory is gone is it not till the program halts... or is
it till the machine is
reset?
anyways i am now thinking the giveNamedItem function receives a const char
pointer to the string right so does this mean that if for some reason
the string
lost its scope and was removed that the pointer to it can no longer validly
give the weapon but thats kinda crap isn't it cause it passes through
the givenameditem function gives the weapon... then returns to its place
back in the code which is after the pPlayer->GiveNamedItem call?
Its getting to the stage where this has gone a bit beyond me i'm not sure if
its either a bug in my source that is doing something strange or if just
what i am trying to do is not doing it how i think it is ie something with
variables falling out of scope etc.
Cruise you got any info on this and why its doing it? I'm starting to think
your onto something here and its kinda swaying my views
Any others got input... Botman? Valve Guys? Mom :( ?

But it has only been set aside within the confines of the function. temp is a /local/ variable. Calling new allocates the memory permanently, so it won't get written over. I agree it shouldn't make much difference, but something is screwing you over, and that's the only difference between the working and non-working versions as far as I can see.

Re: Re[2]: [hlcoders] problem with GiveNamedItem need help.
being sent as a command??? no no the file is just a header with a complete
listing of all weapons in a made struct :/ its not actually send from the
client and picked up in the ClientCommand function.
all i pass from the client once vgui picks things is 4 ints which just
contain the weapon index that i reference to that struct object to get what
the weapons name is. The alert works fine and displays what the complete
givenameditem string is
I appreciate your help none the less... any attemp at a solution is better
then nothing :). i doubt though that char *temp = new char[20]; would fix
the problem... its the same as going char temp[20]; string copying into it
the full weapon name then doing a GiveNamedItem on it its memory has
been set aside so it shouldn't have an issue... o well maybe my problem is
unfixable :/.

The difference between the one that works and the two that don't is
that the first two use a temporary /local/ variable, which is free to
go out of scope and be reallocated at the end of the function...it
could be that that is causing the problem...
Try:
char *temp = new char[20];
sprintf(temp,
"weapon_%s",SpeciesWeapons[0].CloseCombatWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatWeapon]);
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(temp);
That way the memory is allocated and won't be used by anything
else...see if that makes a difference.
The not selectable problem suggests the string passed back from the
client is incorrect...in the ClientCommand function, where it handles
"weapon_" commands, print that out and check it's being sent
correctly...

Re: [hlcoders] problem with GiveNamedItem need help.
o sorry when i said this
// 0 = no change in vgui.. 99 = nothing
if(pPlayer->m_iPrimaryWeapon != 0 && pPlayer->m_iPrimaryWeapon != 99)
{
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(SpeciesWeapons[0].PrimaryWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iPrima
ryWeapon]);
}
if(pPlayer->m_iSecondaryWeapon != 0 && pPlayer->m_iSecondaryWeapon != 99)
{
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(SpeciesWeapons[0].SecondaryWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iSec
ondaryWeapon]);
}
if(pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatWeapon != 0 && pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatWeapon !=
99)
{
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(SpeciesWeapons[0].CloseCombatWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iC
loseCombatWeapon]);
}
i was applying that to when i change the struct instantiations for the
weapons to "weapon_knife" instead of "knife" and prepending the "weapon_"
part
but if i had the weapon name wrong then why would i get the weapon see it in
the hud but not be able to draw it by clicking? if i type drop in the
console
to drop all weapons i have i do indeed finally get to it through the
weightings but i just can't draw it on my own :(... tis a weid problem
and no i'm not
having anyone on.

Re: [hlcoders] problem with GiveNamedItem need help.
yes but prepending it makes it what is in my LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS
knife is called weapon_knife
so why can't i go
char temp[20];
sprintf(temp, "weapon_%s",
SpeciesWeapons[0].CloseCombatWeaponName[pPlayer->m_iCloseCombatWeapon]);
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(temp);
i've done it and on an alert it does indeed contain weapon_knife. And if it
wasn't working then why would it give me the knife and yet make it
unselectable on the hud.. well i can select but clicking won't draw it out.
this also fails
char temp[30];
strcpy(temp, "weapon_knife");
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem(temp);
it gives and i can see it in the list select it but clicking won't draw
it yet
pPlayer->GiveNamedItem("weapon_knife");
works fine lets me select and pull out etc.
If i am missing something you said could you explain to me a little
better... but i think something is either not quite right with my compiler,
machine OR my sdk version.

Because pre-pending "weapon_" makes it a completely different string?
The name you pass to GiveNamedItem should match exactly what you pass
into your LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS macro for the respective weapon. If
you've declared your weapon names to be just "mp5", or "knife", then
that's what you'll have to pass to GiveNamedItem.

What's wrong with ALERT(at_console, "%s", fullWeapName[i]); ?
If you print it out character by character like this then you'll go
straight past the end of the string into the undefined regions, which
naturally will have all sorts of random crap in them...
