Add shootable model
 

hi everybody,

i just started to wirte my first plugin so i have some basic questions i think :).
I didn't find anything in the tutorials so i have to ask you guys...

The problem is:

I want to add at a random point in the map a model which can be shot by the players. The model should only be visible for some seconds and it would be great if it could move too.

I already found some code to add a model to the map but how do i move the model or give it a hitbox so the players can shoot at it?

I hope somebody could give me a hint...

thx for the help in advance,
Metabolic

You'd need a model that was compiled so it can be runs as prop_dynamic or prop_physics because they would probably already have default hitboxes.

TeleportEntity should help with moving.

hi,

sry for my late reply...
Thank you very much that realy helped me.

But is there an event fired when the model is hit?
I didn't find one...

Because i want that the player can shoot at the model and then they get something for hitting it.

Well, browse events. http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Game_Events_(Source)

As a workaround you can hook IN_ATTACK, and then use GetClientAimTarget to check if client is looking at a model and if he do, that means he is shooting at that model (you can check what weapons he using also, and if it is melee one - check distance before doing something).

EDIT: Here it is, player_shoot event exists http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Generic_S...s#player_shoot
