Is it possible to change the sprite/Mirror angle from right to left?

Post your code

[Natsheh]

I don't need a code for a simple question.

You have a env_sprite entity, wondering if it's possible to change the sprite view from right to left .

An example Image




Edit : I think it will be solved if I changed the entity scale to negative. I only need to test and give a feedback.

When you make the ent facing left and you make a 2nd ent and it is also facing left and need to make it face right like this?

Use angles and show the code that is failing to accomplish that. It can be done multiple ways.

/*

stock EF_ChangeYaw(const ENTITY)
    return engfunc(EngFunc_ChangeYaw, ENTITY);

*/

//Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X)

new g_angles[3]

g_angles = { 180.0, 180.0, 180.0 }

new const Float:shift = HALF_A_CIRCLE
new Float:X = Axis[0]
new Float:Y = Axis[1]
new Float:Z = Axis[2]

set_pev(ent, pev_owner, 0);

new Float:Origin[3]
new Float:Axis[3]

entity_get_vector(ent,EV_VEC_origin,Origin);
entity_get_vector(ent,EV_VEC_angles,Axis);


set_pev( ent, pev_angles, Y)
set_pev( ent, pev_angles, Z)
set_pev( ent, pev_angles, X)

set_pev( ent, pev_angles, g_angles)

fm_set_kvd(ent, "angles", "0 -270 0") //sliding left

fm_set_kvd(ent, "angles", "0 270 0") //sliding right 

Sprites also have five orientation types: Parallel - Most common default type; image always faces camera Parallel Upright - Locked to z-axis so only rotates to face camera (best for things that need to be placed on ground, for example trees or fire effect) Oriented - Does not rotate to camera; has a fixed orientation defined in hammer (not for use with env_glow) Parallel Oriented - Faces camera just like Parallel but can be rotated in hammer (not for use with env_glow) Facing Upright - Lesser used mode that works just like Parallel upright, but rotation aligns with player origin instead of camera. (can be buggy at close distances, would only recommend for a specific effect)

Draw Type can be handled with the GoldSrc engine like you hoped.

fm_set_kvd(ent, "vp_type", "4")

I find env_spritetrain a bit more intriguing as it can be way-pointed via path_corners. That's how the osprey is made. Once you are happy with the orientation by whatever means necessary you should be free to finish creating whatever you are working on.

Scale with a negative value is mirroring so your idea should work, at least in theory.

[Natsheh]

an update it doesn't work the sprite gets gigantic when setting the entity scale to -1.0


Test Code

PHP Code:


public clcmd_test(id)
{
    new ent = create_entity("env_sprite");
    
    new Float:fOrigin[3];
    entity_get_vector(id, EV_VEC_origin, fOrigin);
    entity_set_origin(ent, fOrigin);
    
    entity_set_int(ent, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_FLY);
    entity_set_model(ent, szModel);
    entity_set_size(ent, Float:{-1.0,-1.0,-1.0}, Float:{1.0,1.0,1.0});
    
    // Set the animation's framerate
    set_pev( ent, pev_frame, 0.0 )
    set_pev( ent, pev_framerate, 0.5 )
    entity_set_float(ent, EV_FL_scale, -1.0);
    set_pev( ent, pev_spawnflags, SF_SPRITE_STARTON )
    
    dllfunc( DLLFunc_Spawn, ent )
}

what happens with changing pev_angles?

[Natsheh]

it doesn't flip like the picture, it rather just rotates around the forward axis

It takes 2 flips. Flip both vertically and horizontally. That's 180 degrees from X and Y axes.
