Re: [hlcoders] Rotating the view angles (roll?)
I forgot to mention, it's very possible that the up and forward vectors will not be orthonogonal to each other. So, here's what you can do... camera.forward = player.forward camera.right = wall.normal CROSS camera.forward camera.right.Normalize(); camera.up = camera.forward CROSS camera.right camera.position = player.position + camera.up * EYE_HEIGHT This will make the camera "stick" to the wall and still be able rotate around freely. Though it will work as long as the camera isn't attempting to look directly parallel in the direction of the wall normal.

RE: [hlcoders] Using a prop_physics with a "preferred" orientation?
It depends on what you want to have happen. If you want to pop the box back to some orientation, then you can just save the angles and teleport the object when it comes to rest. Otherwise you may be able to achieve something like what you want using a ragdoll constraint (with no translational constraint) or a phys_keepupright (like the turrets in HL2) that tries to keep the local up (0,0,1) vector pointing in a specific direction in worldspace by exerting procedural torque.

[hlcoders] Server plugin - aiming with fake clients
Hello all, Let me get straight down to the point; i'm trying to let my bots (created in a server plugin, using CreateFakeClient in CS: SOURCE) aim at a specific vector. I have tried first to find a function that could even make change their aiming. So i dug into the SDK and found several functions, though the interface exposed to the plugin does not provide lots of 'functions', in fact all 'possible' aiming changes i found where: 1. via usercmd.mousedx/mousedy (which i found not effective on fake clients!, changing them did not work...) 2. via engine->CrosshairAngle(edict, pitch, yaw) The second one sounds more plausible, i have the edict, and for fun i put some numbers in pitch and yaw, but they simply do not changet the bots aiming. I let it fire for every second to see if the 'rendered model' represents its actual aiming (knowing that in HL1 there was some sort of bug in this, so just to be safe). Does anyone else have an idea? I am wondering if the fake clients are allowed to change their angle with CSS or perhaps i am even searching in the totally wrong direction.

Re: [hlcoders] Rotating the view angles (roll?)
Simply build the camera matrix directly. You can build forward, up and right from just the "up" vector. The up vector will be the normal of the wall and the "forward" vector will be the direction the player is facing. To get the "right" vector, just take the cross product of "up" CROSS "forward". Now you have the 3 basis vectors for the camera. And the position is some offset from the wall. Perhaps the point on the wall w/ some offset from the "up" vector. Here's the math: camera.forward = player.forward camera.up = wall.normal camera.right = camera.up CROSS camera.forward camera.position = player.position + wall.normal * EYE_HEIGHT On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 01:17:07 -0700, Hasan Aljudy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For manipulating the camera try looking at in_camera.cpp, ultimatly > you would change m_vecCameraOffset which happens to be a vector but > apparently (according to my humble understanding) it's used as an > angle. > > I'll assume at this point the eye-angle is set as if the player is > walking "normally" (i.e. you haven't altered it yet), this is the > implication I get from your question. > > You can get the normal of the plane you'r moving on by doing something > like a traceline and getting tr.plane.normal (something like that) > then that would be the up vector. > for the forward and right vectors, hmm ..

Re: [hlcoders] Rotating the view angles (roll?)
For manipulating the camera try looking at in_camera.cpp, ultimatly you would change m_vecCameraOffset which happens to be a vector but apparently (according to my humble understanding) it's used as an angle. I'll assume at this point the eye-angle is set as if the player is walking "normally" (i.e. you haven't altered it yet), this is the implication I get from your question. You can get the normal of the plane you'r moving on by doing something like a traceline and getting tr.plane.normal (something like that) then that would be the up vector. for the forward and right vectors, hmm .. I'm not so sure, maybe the experts will help you. I only have a rough idea: maybe grab these vectors (forward and right) the moment you change from walking "normally" to walking on walls, then adjust thier z component so that the vector lies on the plane of movement. You can probably do this with complex math, but I don't know, so this is what I do: make a point that's positioned slightly above the forward vector (treat the forward vector as a point for now) so that when you draw a line between these two points you either get a line parallel to the normal of the ground or the normal of the plane you're walking on, something like VectorMA(forward, 10, normal, newpoint) would do. Then, do a trace line from this newpoint to the forward point, the tr.endpos is probably the point on the plane that lies infront of the player, so the vector (tr.endpos - player->GetAbsOrigin() ) should be a good forward vector. You can use the same method to get a right vector I guess. I'm not sure if this is what you're asking. Beaware that my solution is a noob solution, I'm sure there is a more effecient method of doing it. /me hopes he hasn't embarresed himself.

Re: [hlcoders] Vector rotation
hmm .. I had to do it once, so I converted the vectors into angles, then into quaternions, then did a slerp, then converted them back into vectors. lol but now that you mention it, I tried to look something up, and I found this in mathlib.h // Rotate a vector around the Z axis (YAW) void VectorYawRotate( const Vector &in, float flYaw, Vector &out) [] apparently this only works if your plane is the ground.
