Re: [hlcoders] Are we ever going to get an update for VS2005?
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] In my opinion, this is much more serious of a problem than a lot of people seem to be thinking.

I have a weapon, in which you can select multiple things, using a VGUI
Panel.
After you select from this list, It needs to send the keyvalues of the
selected item, back
to the weapon and then , get the values from KeyValues.
Basically the weapon calls
engine-ClientCmd(ToggleSpellPanel);
Which then toggles my panel.
My panel then has a list, with added items,
So basically what im wanting to know, is either how to send my Player, or
Weapon, the Currently Selected Items, KeyValues, (Which I know how to get,
just now howto send to player/weapon)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [hlcoders] Are we ever going to get an update for VS2005?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Jon, I completly agree with you on most counts. Now this is'nt some big rant against Valve because in all honestly I 3 them to bits. Personally the cynic in me is telling me that they are going to sync the codebase with aftermaths release(yes I laughed at that about 2 months ago) But it would be nice if we got some kind of announcment in advance if they definatlly new they would be updating with Aftermath(maybe they are not) most of us know what delays are like and are caused by(hey we are mod makers ;)) so we would understand if you said Not untill aftermath I think the crux of what I'm trying to say is, be a little more forthcoming with release dates instead of this soon But even I can see the flaw in my opinion. Eh, imagine what Valve are thinking in regards to release dates. But just remember, most of us are not your average fan member who will fly off the handle with every second something is delayed(well most of us won't :P) Damned if you do, damned if you don't. And Jon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B8I9K2/qid=1144318058/sr=8-12/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i12_xgl/203-0516673-8667956 There is probably a student version lurking around somewhere.

Re: [hlcoders] Send KeyValues from Panel, to Player (well weapon)
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
hmm, basically what I have, is a panel, that has a list of objects,(well
spells)
So say that you select magic,
I want it then to change a variable m_pCurrentSpell, which is on the weapon,
to that current spell.
m_pCurrentSpell, is an integer with a bunch of values, and depending on the
value, then picks
the spell. So all I want to do, is have my panel, change that value,
depending on what is selected
in my ListPanel.
Does this explain more?
And thanks for your help.

Re: [hlcoders] Send KeyValues from Panel, to Player (well weapon)
--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
To get information from my panels to the server, I made a command on the
player that is sent from the panel via engine-ClientCmd. You can setup a
message that calls a function whenever the listbox selection is changed, it
is called ItemSelected, and it passes the index of the currently selected
item in via keyvalues as itemID. You might need to look at the
vgui_controls.lib source to understand this better as there are no examples
in the sdk (afaik). Howevre, an example of message function usage is
OnTextChanged in CSpectatorMenu.
I don't think this is the best way to do it, but I couldn't find an
alternative when I wrote that stuff and it works well enough. :)

RE: [hlcoders] Player Physics
So would I be correct in presuming that only the last call to Update() on the shadow controller matters? Quoting Jay Stelly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There aren't any intermediate states, so there is a loss of precision as the entire movement is linearized per batch of updates (single target position). The important difference is that the velocity and error stuff doesn't get aggregated across the batch of user commands so the player doesn't suddenly teleport or move faster. And yes, the underlying functions still work, but the controller will of course modify the velocity of the object.
