[hlcoders] SDK bullet tracer fix?

2005-01-19 Thread Crusty Jacks

Does anyone have a fix for tracers in the scratch base SDK?

The SDK's FX_FireBullets() function seems to call CSDKPlayer::Firebullet() 
which does not create tracers. Some coders have recommend calling 
CBaseEntity::Firebullet() after FX_FireBullet to get the tracer effect, but in 
my experience this fires an extra bullet off.

Valve, will the next SDK release add tracers to CSDKPlayer::Firebullet()? or 
does somebody have a work around?

TIA

What's so hard about copying...
if ( ( info.m_iTracerFreq != 0 )  ( tracerCount++ % info.m_iTracerFreq
) == 0  ( bHitGlass == false ) )
{
   Vector vecTracerSrc = vec3_origin;
   ComputeTracerStartPosition( info.m_vecSrc, vecTracerSrc );
   trace_t Tracer;
   Tracer = tr;
   Tracer.endpos = vecTracerDest;
   MakeTracer( vecTracerSrc, Tracer,
pAmmoDef-TracerType(info.m_iAmmoType) );
}
...from CBaseEntity::FireBullets() and adding it into
CSDKPlayer::FireBullet()???

Look around for, that should give you an idea how to get the tracers
working.
FireBulletsInfo_t Fire;
Fire.m_iShots = 1;
Fire.m_vecSrc = pPlayer-Weapon_ShootPosition( );
Fire.m_vecDirShooting = pPlayer-GetAutoaimVector( flSpread );
Fire.m_vecSpread = GetBulletSpread();
Fire.m_iDamage = 8;
Fire.m_iAmmoType = m_iPrimaryAmmoType;
Fire.m_pAttacker = (CBaseEntity *) pPlayer;
Fire.m_nFlags = true;
Fire.m_iTracerFreq = 1;
Fire.m_flDistance = MAX_TRACE_LENGTH;
pPlayer-FireBullets( Fire );
Add that into CWeaponMP5::PrimaryAttack() {  .. . }
Below the FX_FIREBULLETS

Re: [hlcoders] SDK bullet tracer fix?

2005-01-19 Thread Crusty Jacks 
botman: that is the route that i've taken with my
code. I'm having some issues with the tracers on a
listen server for some reason and i have yet not
located the problem. I'm assuming that at some point a
future SDK release would have the tracers implemented
already. I was looking to compare my fix with
Valve's proper implementation or somebody else's
implementation. In the mean time, i'll keep plugging
away at it. Thanks again for your input.

r00t 3:16 : your solution fires an extra bullet. try
running a 'sv_showimpacts 1' and you'll see what I
mean.
