Lie Flat (Nomexous)

Generally, when you drop an item on a sloped surface in CS, it doesn't lie flat. The game sets the object's pitch and roll as if it were always on a flat surface. Using this plugin, dropped items, grenades, and the bomb will now lie flat on the surface beneath them.

There are no console commands; simply add this plugin in your plugins.ini, and changelevel or restart your server.

I've only tested this in CS. It's possible to use it with other mods; however, you may need to change the classnames to suit your needs.

This plugin is short, but you wouldn't believe the amount of research it took to find the proper way to align objects to the ground. There were many other more complicated ways I tried that didn't work. If you include this code in your own plugin, please credit me.

In order to make this less CS specific, please suggest other class names that should lie flat when touching the floor. I think in most mods, dropped weapons have the "weaponbox" class name, so those are covered. But there may be extraneous items that aren't accounted for.

May be a good thing would be to read classnames from a .ini file ?

So this just effects the models not the actual hitbox? cause I don't see size changes...

It'll be faster if you don't have to read from an .ini file. Besides, once we get a list of class names from all mods, it won't change very much.

It just rotates the models, no size changes. I'm not sure about the hitboxes, but I don't know why you'd be worried about hitboxes on a dropped item.

does it work with a dead person too?
