[CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

So i have this Entity that i want to move by velocity
This is how i create it:

Code:

int ent = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic_override");

if(ent != -1 && IsValidEntity(ent)){

        float angle[3];

        angle[1] = GetRandomInt(1, 360)+0.0;

        

        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "model", mGhoul);

        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "Targetname", "ghoul");

        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "Classname", "ghoul");

        DispatchKeyValueVector(ent, "Origin", gMonstersGhoulsSpawns[i]);

        DispatchKeyValueVector(ent, "Angles", angle);

        

        ActivateEntity(ent);

        bool didit = DispatchSpawn(ent);

        

        if(didit){

                SetEntProp(ent, Prop_Send, "m_nSequence", GHOUL_RUNBACK);

                

                SetEntPropString(ent, Prop_Send, "m_iName", "ghoul");

                

                SetEntPropFloat(ent, Prop_Send, "m_flPlaybackRate", 1.0);

                

                CreateTimer(0.1, GhoulThink, i);

        }

}

And the GhoulThink sets the entity velocity like that:

Code:

stock void MoveEntity(int ent, int ent2, float speed){

        float velocity[3];

        float position[3];

        float position2[3];

        GetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position);

        GetEntPropVector(ent2, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position2);

        

        float distance;

        distance=GetEntitiesDistance(ent, ent2);

        

        float time = distance / speed;

        velocity[0] = 100.0;//(position2[0] - position[0]) / time;

        velocity[1] = 100.0;//(position2[1] - position[1]) / time;

        velocity[2] = 100.0;//(position2[2] - position[2]) / time;

        

        TeleportEntity(ent, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR, velocity); //4 types of setting velocity

        SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Data, "m_vecVelocity", velocity);

        SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Data, "m_vecBaseVelocity", velocity);

        SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Data, "m_vecAbsVelocity", velocity);

}

The problem is, wheter i set const velocity or use one of 4 ways to set velocity, the entity doesn't move. There is no console errors, every piece of code is working fine. What am I doing wrong here?

PS. changing Prop_Data to Prop_Send only gives me this (Same for all m_vecs):

Code:

Exception reported: Property "m_vecAbsVelocity" not found (entity 88/ghoul)

Re: [CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

try change "prop_dynamic_override" to "prop_physics_override", I don't think you can teleport prop_dynamics by velocity, only by origin.

Re: [CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

Still the same :/

I even tried this: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1899572

But the console says

Code:

ERROR!: Can't create physics object for models/witchermod/ghoul/ghoul.mdl

Re: [CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

Try spawn a prop that works with prop_physics like a dropped C4 and make it invisible, then parent your ghoul prop onto the C4 and teleport your C4 instead of your ghoul, this is what I do here:

https://github.com/Rachnus/SuperHero...jgohan.sp#L212

I create a prop_physics with the model "models/weapons/w_ied_dropped.mdl" then parent the env_sprite to it. And the result looks like this:

Re: [CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

or just spawn it as a prop_physics_override.

Dude you are my master. The movement works fine. But other problems occured:
1. There is a sound of C4 "moving"
2. When they fall from the edge there is a chance they flip over so we can see only feet of ghouls :D
3. Now my angleEntity function doesnt work, tried it on ghoul and C4 parent(and both), no results. I

Code:

stock void AngleEntity(int ent, int ent2){

        float angle[3];

        float position[3];

        float position2[3];

        GetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_angRotation", angle);

        GetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position);

        GetEntPropVector(ent2, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position2);

        

        float x = position2[0] - position[0];

        float z = position2[1] - position[1];

        float radians = ArcTangent2(z, x);

        angle[1] = radians * (180 / 3.14);

        

        SetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_angRotation", angle);

}

I assume that problem 1 and 2 can be solved by adding some noclip or movetype to the parent, but i dont know any DispatchKeyValue values (such as "targetname" for name)
And the problem 3 maybe could be solved by putting other model insted of C4 that can handle both angles and velocity?

I'd glady recive any kind of help from you

Re: [CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

Hmm, I mean the best solution would be to have someone make your model compatible with prop_physics (I have no clue how to do this)

But...

To fix your second error, if you're passing NULL_VECTOR into the angle parameter in TeleportEntity, replace it with whatever angle you want your ghoul to have. If you are passing an angle, just keep setting angle[0] to 0.0 to keep it up straight.

You could also try change model from C4 to a barrel or something that has the same size as your ghoul.

If you want to add me, feel free.

Re: [CSGO] Force Velocity on Entity

After experimenting with models and all:

Solution: Insted of prop_physics for parent i used generic_actor. Its perfect - doesn't fall off, it can be angled, no sounds, its even solid etc.

Thanks @Rachnus :D
