Id like to call the message TE_BEAMENTS, but when i added the code and compiled, i get an error about the sprite i used.


Top of plugin

PHP Code:

new const gszSpriteLightning[] = "sprites/lgtning.spr" 


plugin_precache

PHP Code:

precache_model(gszSpriteLightning); 


Event_PlayerDamage

PHP Code:

            message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY) //message begin
            write_byte(TE_BEAMENTS)
            write_short(iAttacker) // start entity
            write_short(iVictim) // end entity
            write_short(gszSpriteLightning) // sprite index
            write_byte(1) // starting frame
            write_byte(1) // frame rate in 0.1's
            write_byte(10) // life in 0.1's
            write_byte(50) // line width in 0.1's
            write_byte(5) // noise amplitude in 0.01's
            write_byte(255) // Red
            write_byte(0) // Green
            write_byte(0) // Blue
            write_byte(100) // brightness
            write_byte(0) // scroll speed in 0.1's
            message_end()

Ignore the warnings, i know why they are there.

sprite index is the value returned by precache_model when precaching the sprite.

What should I do then?

[drekes]

PHP Code:

new gszSpriteLightning;

gszSpriteLightning = precache_model("sprites/lgtning.spr");

If you are going to use that kind of notation, please use it correctly.

It is not a string, so it should be: giSpriteLightning

I think he was just telling him what to change so it would compile and work properly.
I agree that if hungarian notation is kept then drop the sz and optionally add a notation for it (i, p, etc.).

I used emit_sound with the sounds im using, and i have no problems. Is it different with sounds and sprites?

Notice that write_short() takes an integer value (short is a specific length of an integer data type) and not an array.

Either way, mine or the way that drekes posted, arent both of them NOT an integer?

[Exolent[jNr]]

The way drekes posted is correct because it uses the sprite index that is returned from precaching the sprite model.
