Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to make the created sprite remain solid, and can make other players touch it?

PHP Code:

public fireshot(id)
{
   // Get position from eyes
    new aimvec[3]
    get_user_origin(id, aimvec, 3)
    // Throw fire
    fireEffects(id, aimvec)
}

public fireEffects(id, aimvec[3])
{

   // Fire - this way it's just a sprite but it is not solid
    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST,SVC_TEMPENTITY)
    write_byte(3)
    write_coord(aimvec[0])
    write_coord(aimvec[1])
    write_coord(aimvec[2])
    write_short(gSpriteBurning)
    write_byte(22)
    write_byte(10)
    write_byte(0)
    message_end()


    // this way is the solid sprite but it is seen with all the black background of the sprite
     new Float:vOrigin[3]
    vOrigin[0] += aimvec[0]
    vOrigin[1] += aimvec[1]
    vOrigin[2] += 30.0
    
    new amaterasuaowner = id
    new amaterasu = create_entity("info_target")
    entity_set_string(amaterasu, EV_SZ_classname, "amaterasu") 
    entity_set_model(amaterasu, "sprites/shmod/blue_flame.spr")     
    entity_set_size(amaterasu, Float:{-2.5, -2.5, -1.5}, Float:{2.5, 2.5, 1.5})
    entity_set_edict(amaterasu, EV_ENT_owner, amaterasuaowner)
    entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_solid, 2)
    entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_movetype, 6)
    entity_set_vector(amaterasu, EV_VEC_origin, vOrigin)

} 


[Natsheh]

create_entity("info_target")



create_entity("env_sprite")


Then add

entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_rendermode, kRenderTransTexture);
entity_set_float(amaterasu, EV_FL_renderamt, 255.0);

First thanks again for the help and guidance

i try this, but the black background was still

PHP Code:

entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_rendermode, kRenderTransTexture);
entidad_set_float(amaterasu, EV_FL_renderamt, 255.0); 


so i try, and now remove the black background, but the animation of the sprite is not done, is it possible to do it?

PHP Code:

new Float:vOrigin[3]
    vOrigin[0] += aimvec[0]
    vOrigin[1] += aimvec[1]
    vOrigin[2] += aimvec[2]
    
    new amaterasuaowner = id
    new amaterasu = create_entity("env_sprite")
    
    entity_set_string(amaterasu, EV_SZ_classname,"amaterasu")
    entity_set_model(amaterasu,"sprites/shmod/blue_flame.spr")
    entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_solid, 2) // solid
    
    // I wanted to remove this to see if it made the animation but no
    //entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE) // don't move
    
    entity_set_edict(amaterasu, EV_ENT_owner, amaterasuaowner)
    entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_rendermode, kRenderFxNoDissipation);
    set_rendering(amaterasu, kRenderFxNoDissipation, 0, 255, 0, kRenderGlow, 255) // put this to remove the black background of the sprite
    
    entity_set_origin(amaterasu, vOrigin) // put your origin here : Float:{X , Y , Z}
    entity_set_vector(amaterasu, EV_VEC_origin, vOrigin) 


I don't know if you can see it in the image, but the size of the sprite is blue, green is what I do with the code, I would like it to be like blue

[Arje]

well i found the solution find the solution to achieve the animation:

PHP Code:

entity_set_float(amaterasu, EV_FL_animtime, 1.0) // I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think it is the time in which the sprite will animate.
    entity_set_float(amaterasu, EV_FL_framerate, 1.0) // Frames per second.
    entity_set_int(amaterasu, EV_INT_spawnflags, SF_SPRITE_STARTON) // Essential if the animation is playing, I think.
    dllfunc( DLLFunc_Spawn, amaterasu ) 


but how can I increase the size of the sprite so that the green is more similar to the blue?

[Natsheh]

Using engine entity_set_float(amaterasu, EV_FL_scale, 2.0); // 2.0 is double the sprite size.

[Arje]

Thanks!
but i have another question, I realized that the green flame is not generated on the floor, as if the blue one does, how can I solve this?

i try drop_to_floor(amaterasu) but it didn't do anything, and i guess it's not the solution either

[Natsheh]

make the entity MOVETYPE_TOSS then use the function drop_to_floor

[Arje]

thanks but it didn't work either, but i realized i could do this:

PHP Code:

vOrigin[2] += aimvec[2] 


to

PHP Code:

vOrigin[2] += aimvec[2] + 60 


now it displays correctly as I want, I don't know if it's the best way but it works for me, thanks again for the help.

[Natsheh]

You're very welcome.

You probably need to change the entity move type after you spawn the entity with DLLFunc_Spawn
