Re: Module: Orpheu2

Maybe isn't the best place to ask this, but how i can get the origin of the player's weapon first attachment?

Yes, that's not the right place. You could use Orpheu though, but you can use EngFunc_GetAttachment too.

Re: Module: Orpheu2

This is really cool, good job :D

Re: Module: Orpheu2

Thank you Joa and everyone involved. I'll surely look into this.

With EngFunc_GetAttachment you don't get a weapon attachment :-/, you only get the player's model attachment.

Re: Module: Orpheu2

You're right. You need to do what exactly with the weapon attachment ?

Get his origin to do something, like a beam, effects, or something, like the HL Egon.

Code:

void CEgon::CreateEffect( void )

{



#ifndef CLIENT_DLL

    DestroyEffect();



    m_pBeam = CBeam::BeamCreate( EGON_BEAM_SPRITE, 40 );

    m_pBeam->PointEntInit( pev->origin, m_pPlayer->entindex() );

    m_pBeam->SetFlags( BEAM_FSINE );

    m_pBeam->SetEndAttachment( 1 );

    m_pBeam->pev->spawnflags |= SF_BEAM_TEMPORARY;    // Flag these to be destroyed on save/restore or level transition

    m_pBeam->pev->flags |= FL_SKIPLOCALHOST;

    m_pBeam->pev->owner = m_pPlayer->edict();



    m_pNoise = CBeam::BeamCreate( EGON_BEAM_SPRITE, 55 );

    m_pNoise->PointEntInit( pev->origin, m_pPlayer->entindex() );

    m_pNoise->SetScrollRate( 25 );

    m_pNoise->SetBrightness( 100 );

    m_pNoise->SetEndAttachment( 1 );

    m_pNoise->pev->spawnflags |= SF_BEAM_TEMPORARY;

    m_pNoise->pev->flags |= FL_SKIPLOCALHOST;

    m_pNoise->pev->owner = m_pPlayer->edict();



    m_pSprite = CSprite::SpriteCreate( EGON_FLARE_SPRITE, pev->origin, FALSE );

    m_pSprite->pev->scale = 1.0;

    m_pSprite->SetTransparency( kRenderGlow, 255, 255, 255, 255, kRenderFxNoDissipation );

    m_pSprite->pev->spawnflags |= SF_SPRITE_TEMPORARY;

    m_pSprite->pev->flags |= FL_SKIPLOCALHOST;

    m_pSprite->pev->owner = m_pPlayer->edict();



    if ( m_fireMode == FIRE_WIDE )

    {

        m_pBeam->SetScrollRate( 50 );

        m_pBeam->SetNoise( 20 );

        m_pNoise->SetColor( 50, 50, 255 );

        m_pNoise->SetNoise( 8 );

    }

    else

    {

        m_pBeam->SetScrollRate( 110 );

        m_pBeam->SetNoise( 5 );

        m_pNoise->SetColor( 80, 120, 255 );

        m_pNoise->SetNoise( 2 );

    }

#endif



}

I've found that in egon.cpp, see the black lines, what do the func SetEndAttachment?

Re: Module: Orpheu2

This is what it does

PHP Code:


		
			
inline void SetEndAttachment( int attachment ) {
      pev->skin = (pev->skin & 0x0FFF) | ((attachment&0xF)<<12);
}

Re: Module: Orpheu2

It attaches the entity on the weapon attachment 1 I guess, something like. But you can do that probably because it a custom entity (FL_CUSTOMENTITY).

I remember you can use too the weapon attachment with the player id and TE_BEAMENTS for example. ( eg : id | 0x2000 )

Anyway I'm going to do some research on it, long time i wanted to do this weapon.

[edit] Btw, you can do it without orpheu.
