Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

Hello,

I'm trying to spawn a block

PHP Code:


		
			
public SpawnBlock(client) {
    
    decl Float:position[3];
    GetClientAimLocation(client, position);
    
    new index = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic");
    if( !IsValidEdict(index) )
        return;
    
    new String:model_path[128];
    Format(model_path, 128, "models/DeadlyDesire/props/blocks/block_%s.mdl", g_szSize[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    
    if ( !IsModelPrecached( model_path ) ) {
        PrecacheModel( model_path );
    }
    SetEntityModel(index, model_path);
    
    decl String:skin[12];
    IntToString(g_iData[data_color][client], skin, 11);
    
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "disableshadows", "1");
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "StartDisabled", "0");
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "PerformanceMode", "1");
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "solid", "2");
    DispatchKeyValueVector(index, "mins", g_fMins[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    DispatchKeyValueVector(index, "maxs", g_fMaxs[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "model", model_path);
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "Skin", skin);
    
    ActivateEntity( index);
    DispatchSpawn( index);
    
    TeleportEntity(index, position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    SetEntPropVector( index, Prop_Send, "m_vecMins", g_fMins[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    SetEntPropVector( index, Prop_Send, "m_vecMaxs", g_fMaxs[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    
    AcceptEntityInput( index, "DisableCollision" );
    AcceptEntityInput( index, "EnableCollision" );
}

The result for players are correct and fetch to the block, but for prop, completly wrong... Look what it's doing in game:

why?

In advance, thank you

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

The props don't have good built-in collision models, don't they?

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

Thank you for your reply,

Actually, I've made it using hammer and propper.
The physic box look good in Model Viewer :/

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

If it looks good then you shouldn't mess with any collision property at all.

So looks good...

Changing

PHP Code:


		
			
DispatchKeyValue(index, "solid", "2");

PHP Code:


		
			
DispatchKeyValue(index, "solid", "6");

Make a the block with a strange non-solidity, player are slowing down but can travers it... :/

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

...and what if you don't set "solid" at all?

EDIT: Also, you should really precache all models OnMapStart.

Also:

PHP Code:


		
			
g_szSize[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]

This is SO ugly. Hold all model names fully in the adt_array (this would be most scalable solution).

And all paths should have PLATFORM_MAX_PATH size.

PHP Code:


		
			
DispatchKeyValue(index, "StartDisabled", "0");
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "PerformanceMode", "1");
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "solid", "2");
    DispatchKeyValueVector(index, "mins", g_fMins[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    DispatchKeyValueVector(index, "maxs", g_fMaxs[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    
    ActivateEntity( index);
    
    AcceptEntityInput( index, "DisableCollision" );
    AcceptEntityInput( index, "EnableCollision" );

All these lines are unnecessary I think.

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

Thank's you again for assists

Actually, this only contain few data:

PHP Code:


		
			
new String:g_szSize[3][12] = {
    "16x16",
    "32x32",
    "64x8"
};

Everything, execpt .vmt/.vtf are precached and added in downloadtable on map start.

Didn't know that, thank's

Now, I'm spawning them like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
public SpawnBlock(client) {
    
    decl Float:position[3];
    GetClientAimLocation(client, position);
    
    new index = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic");
    if( !IsValidEdict(index) )
        return;
    
    new String:model_path[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    Format(model_path, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "models/DeadlyDesire/props/blocks/block_%s.mdl", g_szSize[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    
    if ( !IsModelPrecached( model_path ) ) {
        PrecacheModel( model_path );
    }
    SetEntityModel(index, model_path);
    
    decl String:skin[12];
    IntToString(g_iData[data_color][client], skin, 11);
    
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "disableshadows", "1");
    
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "model", model_path);
    DispatchKeyValue(index, "Skin", skin);
    
    DispatchSpawn( index);
    
    TeleportEntity(index, position, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    SetEntPropVector( index, Prop_Send, "m_vecMins", g_fMins[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
    SetEntPropVector( index, Prop_Send, "m_vecMaxs", g_fMaxs[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);

}

And it's not solid at all...

PHP Code:


		
			
// Adding this make it solid for player, but mistake with props
DispatchKeyValue(index, "solid", "2");
// Adding this, slow down the player on entering it, but it's not solid
DispatchKeyValue(index, "solid", "6");

I don't get why, what I'm supposed to do?

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

Are your props compiled with dynamic mode enabled?

I think this is unnecessary too:

PHP Code:


		
			
SetEntPropVector( index, Prop_Send, "m_vecMins", g_fMins[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);
SetEntPropVector( index, Prop_Send, "m_vecMaxs", g_fMaxs[ g_iData[data_size][client] ]);

.vtf and .vmt should also be added to downloads table. Dunno about precaching.

Thank you again for your reply

They are marked as in hammer's model viewer.

Removed, now players got the same bug as props using "solid" = "2"
If I set solid = 6, it's like barrel in de_dust2, it's not really blocking you, but push you out of it...

I need them to be fully solid and blocking everything correctly...

Re: Solidity Mins/Maxs mistake

Ok... so what was the original problem? Did we break something while removing the lines?

Any errors in the console while spawning the prop?
