engine_const.inc questions

Hi all.

I'd like to use some functions included in the engine_const header file.
How to use for example :

Code:

define IN_ATTACK		(1<<0)
#define IN_JUMP			(1<<1)
#define IN_DUCK			(1<<2)
#define IN_FORWARD		(1<<3)
#define IN_BACK			(1<<4)
#define IN_USE			(1<<5)
#define IN_CANCEL		(1<<6)
#define IN_LEFT			(1<<7)
#define IN_RIGHT		(1<<8)
#define IN_MOVELEFT		(1<<9)
#define IN_MOVERIGHT		(1<<10)
#define IN_ATTACK2		(1<<11)
#define IN_RUN			(1<<12)
#define IN_RELOAD		(1<<13)
#define IN_ALT1			(1<<14)
#define IN_SCORE		(1<<15)

Here's an extract of my code in which i'd like to use that.

Code:

#define IN_DUCK
#define IN_JUMP
new buttona = EV_INT_button
if (buttona=IN_JUMP)
 buttona=IN_DUCK

So the players would be supposed to duck instead of jumping...
It compiles fine, but nothing happens.

I added that line to check the value of "buttona".

Code:

show_hudmessage(0,"%i",buttona)

But it returns the number "4" whatever the IN_DUCK, JUMP, ...

Any help would be appreciated ;)

Code:

new button = entity_get_int(id,EV_INT_button);
if(button&IN_JUMP)
    button |= IN_DUCK;

Also, In engine_stocks.inc you can find this function:

Code:

/* Get the Button(s) user is pressing */
stock get_user_button(id)
    return entity_get_int(id, EV_INT_button)

Which is Exactly what IceMouse Posted above (in a round-about way)..

This way simply gives it to you in a simpler function: get_user_button(id)

Still doesn't work.
It tried that

Code:

new button = entity_get_int(id,EV_INT_button); 
if(button&IN_JUMP) 
    entity_set_int(id,button,IN_DUCK);

doen't work too.

edit : thanks i'll try with get_user_button

Code:

entity_set_int( id, EV_INT_button, IN_DUCK )

I think those flags are clientside only, which means you can't force those flags from the server.

Good Point!!

The buttons aren't read only, so if you're lucky enough to sneak it in just after the buttons are passed to the server and just before any physics code is executed, then you might get to sneak it in... Not going to happen
