If you ever played Half-Life's training you are aware there is a hologram that helps you to pass the tests.
So, I haven't had anything better to do so I decided to "recreate" this effect.

Here's the code. It's quite simple so I think it's understandable.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

const IDDLE7_SEQUENCE = 18;

new g_szModel[ ] = { "models/scientist.mdl" };

public plugin_precache( )
{
    precache_model( g_szModel );
}

public plugin_init( )
{
    register_clcmd( "say /hologram", "ClCmd_Hologram" );
}

public ClCmd_Hologram( id )
{
    new iEnt = create_entity( "info_target" );
    
    if ( is_valid_ent( iEnt ) )    
    {
        entity_set_string( iEnt, EV_SZ_classname, "hlstyle_hologram" );
        
        new Float:fOrigin[ 3 ];
        
        entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_origin, fOrigin );
        
        fOrigin[ 0 ] += 50.0;
        
        entity_set_origin( iEnt, fOrigin );
        
        entity_set_model( iEnt, g_szModel );
        
        entity_set_int( iEnt, EV_INT_sequence, IDDLE7_SEQUENCE );
        
        entity_set_int( iEnt, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_NOT );
        
        drop_to_floor( iEnt );
        
        set_rendering( iEnt, kRenderFxDistort, 0, 0, 0, kRenderTransAdd, 127 );
    }
} 


Will add a short example video to show this simple plugin in action.

EDIT: Video.

Awesome.

Wow...Kool..

[abdul-rehman]

Really really cool....but what if the origin is outside,,,,

[lazarev]

set_rendering( iEnt, kRenderFxDistort, 0, 0, 0, kRenderTransAdd, 127 );

does the job :/

Yes, you should explain you need only one line with set_rendering(), some people may not understand.

One question... what is this?

PHP Code:

entity_set_int( iEnt, EV_INT_sequence, IDDLE7_SEQUENCE ); 


sequence are sequence of movements right? and what exactly is IDDLE7_SEQUENCE? i can't find it in hldsk_const.inc

[Arkshine]

const IDDLE7_SEQUENCE = 18;

Look at the sciencist model, not hlsdk_const.inc...

[Alucard^]

And how to look at a model? using a program to open models or with another method?

Using a program , Half Life model viewer :d
