Re: [hlcoders] HL2DM bots

Just be aware that the HPBbot2 stuff is just a shell that spawns a fake client and doesn't do much else. Since HL2 plugin had very limited support for getting detailed player and weapon properties, I decided it wasn't pursuing a plug-in bot for HL2 and mods. There was a lengthy discussion about this on the hlcoders email list about a year ago if you really wanted to dig through the archive on why it was difficult to create a plugin bot that was fully functional and easy to maintain. -- Jeffrey "botman" Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

RE: [hlcoders] Problem with Actbusy
This means that Alyx couldn't find an actbusy hint within the zones she was looking in. The default zone is a sphere around her origin, with a radius of the ActBusy search range (passed in via hammer as the "busysearchrange" key on the actbusy goal entity). So she's too far from the actbusy hint to use it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Vollmer Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 11:16 PM To: HLCODERS Subject: [hlcoders] Problem with Actbusy Hi all, I have a problem with npc_alyx. She refuses to use an actbusy hint because it's "Not inside include zones." Has anyone seen this error? I see it when I npc_select Alyx and set "ai_debug_actbusy 3". I searched the Wiki and the web and couldn't find anything. Thanks for any pointers.

RE: [hlcoders] Problem with NPC and VCD
How are you instructing the citizen to stand in the LCS? Citizens automatically join the player's squad under certain circumstances. We've changed this code a bit for Ep1, so my memory could be confused, but I think they won't join the player's squad if they're neutral to the player. So try putting down an npc_relationship entity and have it set the citizen's relationship to the player to neutral, and see if that fixes it. If you're a coder, take a look at CNPC_Citizen::CanJoinPlayerSquad() to see the code that controls this logic. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Vollmer Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2006 3:06 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Problem with NPC and VCD Anyone? --- Thomas Vollmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok, so I've followed the instructions at [1]. > > Now I have an npc_citizen that spawns somewhere on the map, and then > proceeds to sit down on a chair using the Actbusy system - great!

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yeah, I just assumed that Fabian was pointing out that ragdolls are simulated client side to make sure everyone realized that. You mod guys have it easy. Plugin writers don't get access to most of the stuff in the server dll's and, of course, nothing on the client-side. Since I mostly write plugins, the limitations of a client-side simulated ragdoll seem much more important to me than to someone writing a mod. Some things are still possible from plugins; although the best stuff usually takes a ton of work and "hacks." The "skull cam" from c0ldfyr3's CSS goremod plugin looks a lot like that video though.

Re: [hlcoders] Keep first-person-view when killed
True, but the 3rd person death camera already follows a ragdoll (your clientside ragdoll). It should be simple enough to just keep placing the camera at the ragdoll's eyes rather than doing what it does for the 3rd person view (tracing a line from the center of it and placing the camera at the hitpos). I wouldn't recommend making your ragdolls serverside.. see netgraph for details.
