and what is the point of this extension? what are possibilities with it? Any usages for CS:GO?

:bacon!: This extension is amazing, I could achieve all I wanted to do the last month, thanks to you.

get csgo gamedata and compile it for csgo i ain't touching that

I can work on my Battle Bots plugin with this :D

and what is the point of this extension? what are possibilities with it? Any usages for CS:GO?

It's useful for animating things, for example the Player Pets plugin that's out there on the forum. There's a few versions of the plugin:

- The one that's gotten well known on the forums
- The one that me and Arthurdead worked on, based off of Golden machine gun's pets
- Golden Machine Gun's pets

I have all three versions of that plugin and I've been working on a new version that adds proper walking (using m_flPoseParameters) and new states like crouchwalking, swimming, etc.


This extension seems to make the animating process a bit easier, offering tons of wonderful little ways to do things.

My Battle Bots plugin is in essence a copy of the many Pets plugins out there, except I'm using the MvM robot models as the "bots", the Romevision helmets/armor as optional "equipment" for the bots that increases defense, and in a battle arena map that I'm working on that'll use sourcemod plugins for extra map functionality, you will control the little prop_dynamic "bots" and make them fight.

As well, the utils_AnimOverlayFunc(AnimOverlayHandler func is a wonderful thing to have when trying to make something do an attack animation, as you need to layer animations for that.

This extension should help those Pet plugins add a bit more functionality to them. All that's needed now is some sort of pathfinding to keep the "pets" from clipping through walls and floating in midair if the ground you're standing on is uneven. I know Peli has an extension he made for it that's private, and he did give me a price for if I want to actually buy a copy of it off him, but I don't have the cashola right now.

Oh, I forgot to mention also that it has a "FireBullets" thing allowing you to make the thing you're animating fire bullets. I haven't actually tested this extension out yet, but I will be shortly.

[Benoist3012]

@abrandnewday Fire bullets function allows you to shoot bullets from an entity and set its damage, damage force, and of course the number of bullets and the spread. I used it in my sf2 plugin last week, can say, it works pretty well.

[tonline_kms65]

native FireBulletsInfo_t utils_CreateFireBulletsInfo();

Required module. Does not work on Counter-Strike:Source. What to do what would have worked?

[Potato Uno]

This looks like it is only compiled for TF2. You need to compile it for your game (and maybe find gamedata for it).

If only I knew how to make use of this, it looks super handy, anyone have any kind of example?

What do you want to do?

[xXDeathreusXx]

What do you want to do?

Play sequences on a player if this can do that, like making Merasmus model do his bomb animation

[Pelipoika]

Play sequences on a player if this can do that, like making Merasmus model do his bomb animation

Nah this can't set/play animations on the player entity

It's possible via other methods that don't require an extension...I think?

I know some methods (for example the Shortstop Shove Animation Enabler (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=293002)) may require signatures and offsets. But I forget if there's a non-gamedata/non-extension way of doing player animations *without* resorting to the classic "spawn a prop_dynamic player model in and make it do the animation* like the unused burning death animation (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2226510) plugin on the forums uses.

Speaking of both the Shortstop Shove and the Unused Burning Death animations plugins.....I think I'm going to look into the possibility of redoing that Unused Burning Death animation plugin that works similarly to the Shortstop plugin, but actually makes the player do the burning death animation instead of spawning a prop.

I found this: CTFPlayer::PlaySpecificSequence and CTFPlayer::PlayScene
PlayScene has a vtable offset, PlaySpecificSequence needs a signature

There's also CTFPlayer::SetAnimation, but I don't know where to find the PLAYER_ANIM defenitions

But that can't be all of them can it? I knew about shareddefs

Either way, thanks for finding that signature since I would of never thought to look at STT
