Got any reference code which I can follow?

Weapons defined from 32 onwards doesn't animate or work. The way to bypass the 32 weapon limit in HL is to combine all the weapons into one entity. This way, the HL engine thinks that all the weapons are the same weapon, but you specify that this one weapon look and act differently depending on what type of weapon it is. It takes a lot of special coding, not easy. -- Jorge Vino Rodriguez ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _ Keep track of Singapore Malaysia stock prices. http://www.msn.com.sg/money/ ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I can only propose the general idea of how to do it, and the proof that it works is in TS, because TS uses this system. -- Jorge Vino Rodriguez ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Another way is to use the players class as a reference into an array of weapons. This way you can have 31 weapons for each class. If you don't have player classes then you can use the player class variable as a weapon class and achieve a similar effect. I implimented this for my Swarm mod a fair while back.

RE: [hlcoders] Anyone bypassed the max weapons limit before?
What I did for FLF 2.0, was since a playe4 can only ever carry 7 weapons (knife, pistol, primary, secondary and 3 different types of grenades (not all classes can have all 3 though) I only transmit the data for 7 weapons at a time, ever. I don't use pev-weapons as I don't need to use the weaponbits at all the way that I transmit. Basically, I modified GetWeaponData in client.cpp so that it loops from 0-7 (the max number of weapons the player can ever pick up) and then on the client in HUD_WeaponsPostThink I figure out which weapon is which, and check which hud slot to toss it into. Also, my weapon code doesn't need any switch statements to grab data; the client utilizes GetItemInfo properly, just like the server. Saves lots of time both in adding weapons, and in code size, -Original Message- From: Jeff Fearn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 3, 2004 6:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Anyone bypassed the max weapons limit before?

The HEV suit is defined as the 31st weapon. As we know, the max weapon allowed is 31. Unfortunately, I have 32 including the suit. Is there a way to increase it?
