[hlcoders] Player Class System
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I was wondering how you can implement a player class system like there is in Counter Strike or Counter Strike: Source. It is just pure cosmetics (has no affect on anything such as health, weapon etc. just a different model file). I already have 2 teams so I would just like classes for those 2 teams. I have an image here (I knows its crappy but it should give you the basic idea): http://www.imagehosting.com/show.php/1524455_untitled.bmp.html I also would like to know why every time I press on say the Rebels button when I select a team, I suicide and then I spawn as a rebel. I'm not very good at coding so could you please tell me what to do exactly?

Re: [hlcoders] Player Class System
In counter-strike, and DOD, it is simply cosmetic (Except DOD where different classes have different weapons).

Well, for something simply cosmetic, simply have the user choose through a
VGUI menu or whatever, then store their choice in a simple var in the player
class, then on spawn, set their model based upon what the # is, example:
void CSDKPlayer::Precache()
{
PrecacheModel( CLASS1MODEL );
...
PrecacheModel(CLASS8MODEL); //2 teams * 4 models
BaseClass::Precache();
}
void CSDKPlayer::Spawn()
{
BaseClass::Spawn();
if(GetTeamNumber()==TEAM_FIRSTTEAM||GetTeamNumber()==TEAM_TEAMSECONDTEAM)
//No observers getting the custom models.
{
switch(m_iPlayerClass) //Class variable in the player class
{
case CLASS_CLASS1:
SetModel(CLASS1MODEL );
...
case CLASS_CLASS8:
SetModel(CLASS8MODEL);
default:
SetModel(SOMEOTHERMODEL)
}
}
Hope that helps, was some ripped out and dumbed down code from the mod I'm
working on.

RE: [hlcoders] Replacing NPC_Antlion
Does your animation have the movement in it? In other words when you view it in model viewer with I believe sequence ticked the model should look like it is moving. If it does not then that is the issue. It is a pretty common problem with zombie models if decompiling is attempted.

RE: [hlcoders] Player Class System
You need to store a class object for each player which stores all the class specific things you want in your mod. Then when those things are needed you access the values to be used from the player's class object. It also is useful to associate unique gamemovements with your classes if you want to do something like in tf2 how a scout can double jump and others can't, etc. Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kushan Gunasekera Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 4:45 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Player Class System -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I was wondering how you can implement a player class system like there is in Counter Strike or Counter Strike: Source.

RE: [hlcoders] How do I get $jointconstrain details?
It's hard to tell if you are asking two questions or the wrong question. Nothing about $jointconstrain will affect the collisions between players and an AI. So if you really want to author a bunch of $jointconstrain statements to solve some other problem (like say ragdoll motion - which it will affect) you can do that inside hlmv with slides and hit the generate qc button to put the qc for those slider settings on the clipboard. Then just paste it into your qc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 10:19 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] How do I get $jointconstrain details?

RE: [hlcoders] Replacing NPC_Antlion
Well what I means is that the animation needs to have the movement in the animation. I know that the QC the animation with movement needs LX in it. I unfortunately do not know so much on the animation side. I helped with getting a model to work with the vanilla code included for the houndeye. What we found was that we had to have animations that had movement speed imbedded into the animation. So for a walk anim. If you start at 0 and wanted a move speed of 5 per anim loop you would have the end of the animation end up 5 units further. And then in the QC I remember the animator talked about a LX parameter for the animation to let the compiler know this animation has movement in it on the x plane. LY for an animation with Y plane movement I suppose.

[hlcoders] Vector math is simply beyond me.
Hello, everybody. I'm having a headache with a model entity I'm writing, and I need your help. To start off, the entity is a turret. It has a model, the model has pitch and yaw pose parameters I use to point the model at the player it's shooting at. That being said, I can't get the math right for the yaw to come out right at all. Here's what I have: * Vector vecAbsOrigin( GetAbsOrigin() ); // the absolute center of the model * QAngle angAbsAngles( GetAbsAngles() ); // the absolute angles of the model * Vector vecPosition; // the absolute position of what's being shot at I've tried everything I know, but I cannot put these three values together in any way that will give me a pitch and yaw for my SetPoseParameter calls that will result in this turret pointing at its target. I'm not versed in vector math, which doesn't help either. Can someone help me out? // Adam Maras (memzero) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
[hlcoders] Few questions
Hey guys, Started off with a scratch mod (Needed the CSS Animations), and have the following done and working: Footsteps Player Models Team VGUI Skin VGUI Now i have the issues with the HUD, mainly with the HUD disappearing after someone dies (Get a UserMessage error in the console - failed to send). Also a little bit of a problem with people walking through physics objects. (I'm assuming thats a line of code i'm overlooking within the player class). Any help much appreciated Cheers ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
[hlcoders] Vector math is simply beyond me.
Setting the pose parameters correctly (so the turret looks like it's aiming
at what you want it to aim at) can be a bit tricky. I'd recommend trying to
set your turret up like VALVe's carriable floor turret guy as the code is
available for it.
Here's some code for a ceiling mounted turret we have that can spin 360
degrees. (Note: depending on if you've modified one of the lerp functions
you might see a bug when the turret reaches the 360/0 degree mark when
rotating from a certain direction - it'll sort of flip back the wrong way
then flip back to the correct way)
Just FYI - this turret is basically a copy/paste of one of VALVe's already
existing turrets. It has several think functions that run depending on its
state (if it sees an enemy and is popping out, if it loses and enemy and is
retiring, if it just saw an enemy but lost it, if its actively tracking an
enemy, etc).
Below are just some snippets; I could probably paste more if needed. This
entity is networked so that's why some of the functions say (shared) as
the code is accessible on both client server.

Re-reading the email I can see some things I put in the code that were never

important aspect of getting the thing working as expected (but I had no part
in doing that - someone else on the team did the modelling).

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Try this pseudo code, I think it should work: Vector vecDifference = vecPosition - vecAbsOrigin; QAngle angToTarget; VectorAngles( vecDifference, angToTarget ); flYaw = angToTarget[YAW]; flPitch = angToTarget[PITCH]; SetPoseParameter ( yaw , flYaw ); SetPoseParameter ( pitch , flPitch ); - Original Message - From: Adam Maras (memzero) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlcoders hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 7:27 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Vector math is simply beyond me. Hello, everybody. I'm having a headache with a model entity I'm writing, and I need your help. To start off, the entity is a turret. It has a model, the model has pitch and yaw pose parameters I use to point the model at the player it's shooting at. That being said, I can't get the math right for the yaw to come out right at all. Here's what I have: * Vector vecAbsOrigin( GetAbsOrigin() ); // the absolute center of the model * QAngle angAbsAngles( GetAbsAngles() ); // the absolute angles of the model * Vector vecPosition; // the absolute position of what's being shot at I've tried everything I know, but I cannot put these three values together in any way that will give me a pitch and yaw for my SetPoseParameter calls that will result in this turret pointing at its target. I'm not versed in vector math, which doesn't help either. Can someone help me out? // Adam Maras (memzero) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

We're on SVN as well.

Re: [hlcoders] Souce Control
Okay, SVN across the board... That's good. As for the box, Are we talking like something on a cable modem in a few cases? Is there a particular SVN client that's better than others? -Grash --- Greg Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We use a SVN as well, with our project lead hosting the SVN on a secure box.

Woo-hoo for Util functions! --- Andrew Ritchie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] UTIL_VecToYaw( playerPos - turretPos ) and UTIL_VecToPitch will give you the yaw and pitch which you can then use as the ideal angles then just set your pose params to the difference between your angle and those, clamp if necessary. The UTIL functions use some trig which you should take a look at since it does come in handy for atleast understanding how to go about solving some of these types of issues. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders Never miss a thing.

RE: [hlcoders] Souce Control
The norm is to rent a server and set up svn on it. I got a local server (to my house) with svn for local projects. Runs very well.
