[hlcoders] Setting a weapon to play the draw sequence when it is selected/picked up?
I'm working on getting the Physics Gun (physgun) to work again, and one step of that is getting it to play the model's draw sequence when the player picks it up or switches to it in inventory. How can i do this? Unrelated to the topic title, i can't seem to get the beam that comes out of the gun to follow the tracer the gun emits. It comes out of the gun, but it goes to the origin.

Re: [hlcoders] Setting a weapon to play the draw sequence when itisselected/picked up?
The physgun is so broken it's not included in the project by default. I don't mean the Gravity Gun. I don't see a function that gets called when it's picked up. I didn't mess anything up as far as i know, the code is broken to hell and back. It doesn't even have a viewmodel by default, i had to code one in. The secondary fire (which makes a weld-ball) is tracing correctly, so i dunno why primary isn't.

I changed MASK_ALL to some other stuff like MASK_OPAQUE with no avail. Any

do that.

==Source SDK==
Several significant enhancements and bug fixes have been made to the
Source SDK tools and source code. See below for additional details and
please note that this update does not include support for Left4Dead
content
creation. Support for Left4Dead will be included in a future update.
=SDK Tools=
* Fixed the issues with the following tools: height2ssbump,
normal2ssbump, pfm2tga, splitskybox, vbspinfo, vmt_tweak, vmtcheck
* Fixed an issue in studiomdl pertaining to $shadowlod {
=Hammer=
* The texture browser automatically ignores most textures that
cannot
be placed on brushes or displacements, as well as anything inside a
.svn
folder for those using svn as their choice of versioning software.
* Added additional auto visgroups for sprites and cubemaps
* Seperated the VRAD calls into two sequential while using HDR
(-ldr
and -hdr) instead of -both
* Model browser is now created once per session
* Displacement brush dial now has greater range
* Added a stop button to sound previews
=SDK Launcher=
* Added the ability to edit game configurations with vconfig
= Source Code=
* Added a new template mod that replaces the old 'advanced' source
.
This template has options for teams,classes, sprinting, prone, stamina,
etc.
When you create a mod with the wizard it will ask you which options to
enable by default. Note: you must build the source. Users wishing to
create
only content should not use this option.
* Added shader source; fxc.exe, psa.exe and vsa.exe must be
placed
into the dx9sdk\utilities folder and you must modify
materialsystem\stdshaders\buildsdkshaders.bat to set your paths.
* Most tonemap controller options now work in multiplayer. The
'template mod' map 'sdk_teams_hdr' demonstrates this.
* All three mod types by default mount the required appid's -
Multiplayer uses 218 and mounts 320 for example. Gameinfo.txt contains
a
new
entry 'AdditionalAppId' for this purpose.
* Particle systems can now be defined with a per-map manifest,
similar
to soundscapes. Inside the particles folder you simply create
particles_mapname.txt and declare your particle system files just like
the
regular manifest. Prefix with ! to cache automatically. Ex: file
!particles/mymap_effects.pcf
* Fixed a number of issues which caused the server to not compile
in
linux.
=Multiplayer Source Code=
* Players animate with the new animation system that came along
with
TF2.
* Fixed third person animations and all effects
* Fixed SLAM issues
* Fixed Use of UTIL_GetLocalPlayer on the server in various
locations
* Fixed a number of other bugs / asserts.
=Singleplayer Source Code=
* Fixed a number of issues preventing the source from functioning
correctly
* Added new vehicle hl2buggy so that users may have both the
charger
and the old buggy.
