So by using movetype_follow, i won't actually be able to see the attachment unless the player mdl is modified

Actually, I was talking about the attachment. If the attachment is a model, and you want it to be shown like back weapon model from Back Weapon plugin, it need to have bone. Else if it doesn't have bone or it's a sprite, it will be attached directly to player origin, so no need to modify player model.

And pev_aiment can't be seen by the player that it is aimed to, right?

What do you mean?

So it would be easier to be done with movetype_follow.

In what regards pev_aiment, i mean that the player itself won't be able to see the sprite coming out of his mouth/face (in 1st person view).

Thank you for your effort!

I tried it with the code above and it looks like this:



Something wrong with the sprite maybe? It doesn't look at all like the gif you posted above

[DJEarthQuake]

Increment CVAR to adjust the height on the fly. I have 2 different chin settings for 2 different mods.

[bLacK-bLooD]

The height is not the issue. The spr looks nothing like your gif and the animation looks very bad

[DJEarthQuake]

You have it in 3rd person. I didn't.

The gifs were from 2 different mods. There's an offset. That's where the chin cvar came from. Move it up. Increment the number, then it is not on the chest. My ticrate was double digit. I am guessing yours was much higher? 3rd person does look like that on the mods I validated script on.
Just slow it down.

This concept code works perfectly already on default clocked servers. Make it not fire off as often via Amxx.

My gif was also a bot with a particular under-clocked think. That is how everything on my system usually is. Update the script as needed. MSG_PVS is what I had it on used initially and I shared it as MSG_BROADCAST. Otherwise the comment would have been I cannot see it or cannot see it all the time. Every little detail will effect what we see on the screen.

Now you have the mechanics. Just start coding. There isn't just 1 way to handle this. Share what you come up with. I had a post about this lengthy beforehand. It was abbreviated to so where you were at.

In some places. It is getting cold again. Upgraded the code. Slowed it down from think to a task with CVAR: winter_breath <float>. This opens up the possibility to set the timing in seconds. It saves resources. It will make the puffs more like the gif. I reinstalled plugin and could not duplicate that breath rate either until this change was made. Likely reason gif is series of screenshot bitmaps globed together.

    //Where steam comes off player. Higher the number the higher the breath

    g_pant = register_cvar("winter_breath", "1.5");
    //How frequent puffs
}
