hello

I wanted to spawn a temp. entity for a plugin

but
I have problems

    new Float:origin[3]
    entity_get_vector(teleport, EV_VEC_origin, origin);
    message_begin(MSG_BROADCAST ,SVC_TEMPENTITY)
    write_byte(TE_BUBBLES)
    write_coord(floatround(origin[0]-16)) // min start position
    write_coord(floatround(origin[1]-16))
    write_coord(floatround(origin[2]))
    write_coord(floatround(origin[0]+16)) //  max start position
    write_coord(floatround(origin[1]+16))
    write_coord(floatround(origin[2]))
    write_coord(floatround(origin[2]+90)) // float height
    write_short(particle) // model index
    write_byte(10) // count
    write_coord(5) // speed
    message_end()

the height is different between position of the map
e.g. if I am high in the map (tower) the height of this temp entity its very more height

to have correct height I need to be as origin z at 0 ...
that annoying


I Tried to do a shockwave and change write_coord to use fakemeta but got the same ....

    engfunc(EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_PVS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, origin, 0)
    write_byte(TE_BEAMCYLINDER)
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, origin[0]) // start X
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, origin[1]) // start Y
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, origin[2]) // start Z
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, 0.0) // something X
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, 0.0) // something Y
    engfunc(EngFunc_WriteCoord, -32) // something Z
    write_short(Shockwave) // sprite
    write_byte(0) // startframe
    write_byte(0) // framerate
    write_byte(5) // life
    write_byte(10) // width
    write_byte(0) // noise
    write_byte(red) // red
    write_byte(green) // green
    write_byte(blue) // blue
    write_byte(210) // brightness
    write_byte(0) // speed
    message_end()

why ? and how can I correct that, please ?

look at picture you will understand

X and Y origin are almost same but the Z is more high (~500)




yes the size is respected ! I didnt worsened it (photo shop + a building from tfc to compare and find the ladder-size added a grid, add red and black and after set to same ladder-size )
