- - Entity touch (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=287811)

I have created a zone (a cube/box) on fun_allinone map all over the spawn area and fwBoxTouch function do not get triggered by any player touching it.
But as soon all of the env_beam's gets triggered/toggled on (they're inside of this cube), then fwBoxTouch is somehow working as it should.
My questions are:
Why isn't it working without the beams triggering it? And how to get it to work as it should without env_beam entitites has to trigger it to work?

PS. I have to use MOVETYPE_NONE and SOLID_TRIGGER since it's supposed to act like a trigger_multiple entity.
Since the doors are within the cube as well.
I have figured out if any other value beside of MOVETYPE_NONE, when one of the doors gets triggered, it will kill/move the box away from it's position.
I have taken a look at the env_beam's keys and keyvalues to try figuring out what's triggering it to work, my guess was pev->dmg, but set_pev(entity, pev_dmg, <any value here>) did not work. So, I'm out of ideas.

Code:

public plugin_init() register_touch("box", "player", "fwBoxTouch")

public fwBoxTouch(zone, player)
{
    if (!pev_valid(zone))
        return FMRES_IGNORED

    server_print("Test")

    return FMRES_IGNORED
}

public CreateZone(Float:position[3], Float:mins[3], Float:maxs[3])
{
    new entity = create_entity("info_target")
    set_pev(entity, pev_classname, "box")

    DispatchSpawn(entity)

    engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, entity, "models/gib_skull.mdl")

    set_pev(entity, pev_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER)
    set_pev(entity, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE)
    set_pev(entity, pev_effects, EF_NODRAW)

    engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin, entity, position)
    engfunc(EngFunc_SetSize, entity, mins, maxs)

    return entity
}

Re: Entity touch

Replace:

PHP Code:


		
			
set_pev(entity, pev_origin, position)

to:

PHP Code:


		
			
engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin, entity, position)

This updates entity origin for the physics engine. (re-links entity)

Another way you can move:

PHP Code:


		
			
set_pev(entity, pev_origin, position)

Before:

PHP Code:


		
			
engfunc(EngFunc_SetSize, entity, mins, maxs)

Because SetSize also re-links entity.

Re: Entity touch

That won't fix it. But it's replaced now.

Re: Entity touch

Question, what build of amx do you use ?

Re: Entity touch

This code works for me:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>

public plugin_precache() precache_model("models/gib_skull.mdl");

public plugin_init() register_touch("box", "player", "fwBoxTouch"), register_clcmd("say /smth", "Smth");

public Smth(clientEntIndex) {
    new Float:origin[3];
    pev(clientEntIndex, pev_origin, origin);
    CreateZone(origin, Float:{-16.0, -16.0, -16.0}, Float:{16.0, 16.0, 16.0});
}

public fwBoxTouch(zone, player)
{
    if (!pev_valid(zone))
        return FMRES_IGNORED

    server_print("Test")

    return FMRES_IGNORED
}

public CreateZone(Float:position[3], Float:mins[3], Float:maxs[3])
{
    new entity = create_entity("info_target")
    set_pev(entity, pev_classname, "box")

    DispatchSpawn(entity)

    engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, entity, "models/gib_skull.mdl")

    set_pev(entity, pev_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER)
    set_pev(entity, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE)
    set_pev(entity, pev_effects, EF_NODRAW)

    engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin, entity, position)
    engfunc(EngFunc_SetSize, entity, mins, maxs)

    return entity
}
