[hlcoders] How to get the msec value for the bots in the HL1 engine?
Hi all, I know that this question is a bit outdated but I want to ask how is the best way to get the msec value for the RunPlayerMove() call? I'm talking about the old HL1 engine. I tried with gpGlobals-frametime * 1000; Work good first 30 minutes and after that the bots start to be stucked in to the round spawn. I will be very happy if someone point me the best way to get that msec value. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
[hlcoders] Identifying all players in the current view
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- I'm trying to code a sniper view mode which identifies all the players currently visible in the active player's view, and displays information about each of them floating above them. I've had several ideas, including: just displaying the information for everybody on the server; always having the information attached to the people and only visible when the player's sniping; and looping through the player list, determining who's visible and attaching the information as appropriate. However, none of these methods is particularly elegant, and I was hoping there was some better way to do it. :-) -- [ philip.vcf of type text/x-vcard deleted ] -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I used something like this (based on code Rich Whitehouse used for the
Jumbot)...
// adjust the millisecond delay based on the frame rate interval...
if (msecdel = gpGlobals-time)
{
msecdel = gpGlobals-time + 0.5;
if (msecnum 0)
msecval = 450.0/msecnum;
msecnum = 0;
}
else
msecnum++;
if (msecval 1)// don't allow msec to be less than 1...
msecval = 1;
if (msecval 100) // ...or greater than 100
msecval = 100;
g_engfuncs.pfnRunPlayerMove( pEdict, pEdict-v.v_angle, 0.0,
0, 0, pEdict-v.button, 0, msecval);
...it does a pretty good job of averaging the msecval over many frames
and clamps it to be within a fairly good range.
Just make 'msecnum' be a local 'int' variable for the bot and make
'msecdel' and 'msecval' be local 'float' variables...
int msecnum;
float msecdel;
float msecval;

Re: [hlcoders] Identifying all players in the current view
Loop through all the players, calling IsDormant() on them. That should let you pick out the ones that are being currently server-updated (and thus in your PVS).

Hi botman,
I used the same algoritm before but its not work well on higher than 100fps.
gpGlobals-frametime * 1000; work good on 255 fps but after some time
the bots start to be stucked in to their spawn points.
Do you know better way ( I wonder what the official CS bot use ).
Thanks a lot anyway, I will back to the way that you posted if there is
no other solution.
