-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] hmm that is very weird. So basically, another player fires, and a muzzleflash sprite gets created on every player, not just the one doing the firing... Seems like the dispatcheffect is not being filtered properly (ie. your sending the muzzleflash event to the wrong clients). It's really hard to tell without seeing your code.

Okay, this is even better than a screenshot. I made a small video where the issue can be seen quite well. Hope it helps you: http://www.sendspace.com/file/m55otq That "ghost" muzzle cannot be seen in world view, and it doesn't spawn exactly in weapon's muzzle attachment. If character ducks that muzzle keeps showing in the same coordinates, it doesn't modify its position if player doesn't move. That test was made with a modified c_te_legacytempents file which produces more smoke but the muzzle issue happens the same with default c_te file. That's important because thats the place where muzzle sprites are created AFAIK, so default code makes the same effect. -------------------- Ángel Oliver (R_Yell) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Minh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 7:54 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash showing in every view space. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] DoMuzzleFlash() doesn't actually create the sprite on the screen. As far as I can tell, it sets a parity bit on an entity. Why dont you take a screenshot to show us what your problem is. If you're having problems capturing muzzleflashes (since they happen so fast). Just use the command host_timescale 0.1 That will slow down the game to 10% of the normal speed. ---- Original Message ----- From: "REBEL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 7:56 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash showing in every view space. Thank you very much for the replies, I'm trying to dig into this issue but wasn't able to discover anything ATM. Our weapons cloned from 357 code are pretty much the same than default, only modified some values related to accuracy, etc. I'm using the latest SDK from November, all code the muzzleflash code wasn't touched. There were a few additions to c_te_legacytempents, so I tried with default file and no improvements. >there are TWO events that > are responsible for creating the muzzleflash.

It exist on other weapons, but not in the 357. I tried to comment the other event in basecombatweapon_shared and nothing happened, muzzleflash works the same so this confusses me a lot. Is pPlayer->DoMuzzleFlash() supposing to do something in multiplayer? At this point I have the doubt if we really did something wrong with the weapon models. Could a wrong muzzle attachment cause this? -------------------- Ángel Oliver (R_Yell) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Minh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 7:50 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Muzzle flash showing in every view space. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > This might have something to do with the fact that there are TWO events > that > are responsible for creating the muzzleflash.
