RE: [hlcoders] CreateMaterial, KeyValues...
Here's an example from the HL2 code of making a material from code:
KeyValues *pVMTKeyValues = new KeyValues( UnlitGeneric );
pVMTKeyValues-SetInt( $flat, 1 );
pVMTKeyValues-SetFloat( $vertexcolor, 0.05f );
IMaterial *pDrawFlatMaterial = materials-CreateMaterial( ___flat.vmt,
pVMTKeyValues );

Subject: [hlcoders] CreateMaterial, KeyValues...
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi again. I
have already succesfully finished the night vision using
shaders. I have created a dummy vmt material (well, it is not
actually dummy, as it has a variable used by the shader), but
I do not want to give people the chance to cheat with it, so
I think that the best choice is to create the material inside
the code, thanks to the IMaterial *CreateMaterial( const char
*pMaterialName, KeyValues *pVMTKeyValues ) function. I would
bind it to my shader using void SetShader( const char
*pShaderName ). The question comes now. How does KeyValues
work? I mean, if I have this:
My_shader
{
$var1 0.5
$var2 1.5
$var3 2
$var4 1.7
$var5 1
}
How can I create KeyValues to create that material? It may
sound silly, but what is the relationship between Name and
firstKey in the constructors?
(are they parent-child?).
In my example, if I set Name as My_shader, would be it
enough for CreateMaterial to know which shader to use?
Otherwise I would have to call SetShader.
If I want to get a value, do I have to find firstKey? As I
can guess, when I call functions like SetFloat or SetString,
new keys are created as sub-keys, and stored at the end of
that sub-key list. Isn´t it like that?
As you see, I´m quite lost with KeyValues, hehe.
Finally, the last question (at last!): does IMaterial
*CreateMaterial( const char *pMaterialName, KeyValues
*pVMTKeyValues ) store a reference to this material in
materialsystem so that I can use materials-FindMaterial
anywhere in my code?
Thank you for your time
Regards,
Ignacio Martin

RE: [hlcoders] Re: Re: 3 round
Who was talking about switching while firing? The whole argument has been about how burst works while you have it selected, I don't recall anyone talking about switching to or from it. I also don't believe it's possible to even switch while holding the trigger down, because the trigger group would be locked. But I dunno for sure, and I'm too lazy to look at the manual now. -Original Message- From: bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: May 11, 2005 11:39 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Re: Re: 3 round What the man is saying is that in real life, if you switch to the burst mode from automatic or any other selection that it starts counting and doesn't reset until the next trigger release. IE- if you depress the trigger, firing one shot, and switch to burst without releasing you will only be able to fire 2 bullets the next time you press the trigger down.

[hlcoders] (HL1 Question) My gun doesn't accept custom ammo type
I previously was using the existing HL weapon ents as my weapons in my
mod, but they were recoded to be a completely different one. This
looked stupid in the console Draco has killed SomeGuy with Squeak
when I shot them with a silenced pistol;) . I found out how to
actually get your own weapons working, So I tried it, my first one, a
little SMG, worked well, even used a new ammo type. Now came time to
convert another over, not so good this time. Using the same code,
names changed from Cyclone to AR34 and the weapon selection
position set on more than the last, same code otherwise, and when I
go to play it, the gun can't be switched to. I ended u dropping all
other guns to see it, the ammo hud said 0 in clip, 0 in reserve, and
the gun just keeps trying to reload.
I have tried for the last 2 days to get this bastard to work, any ideas?
