Fakemeta function:

PHP Code:


			
EngFunc_TraceModel

Description:
This function traces between 2 origins a model and gives us properties about it.
It acts just like a TraceLine but it ignores all the entities except the one we want to hit!

The constants that we can use in hull:

PHP Code:


			
#define HULL_POINT                      0  // This means that we are moving a point from the start to the end

#define HULL_HUMAN                      1  //  That means that we move a cube of a player from start to end

#define HULL_LARGE                      2  // That means that we move a bigger cube that one of the player from start to end (used in HL for big monsters!)

#define HULL_HEAD                       3  // This means that we move from start to end the hull of a ducked player

Usage:

PHP Code:


			
// start - start origin

// end - end origin

// hull - the hull that is moved check above to see them

// ent_to_hit - the entity that you want to hit (this is a must!)

// ptr - the trace handle pointer, acts the same as the one in trace line!

engfunc(EngFunc_TraceModel, const Float:start[3], const Float:end[3], hull, ent_to_hit, ptr)

Extra info:
Do not use this unless you are familliar with TraceLine!
TraceModel usage simple example.

Does this function hits only to bones of the entity? or it can hit to model area or to bounding box?

Alka

bounding box

Fakemeta function :

Code:

EngFunc_MoveToOrigin

Description :

Moves an entity a defined distance toward a coordinate.

If the distance between Entity and Destination is less than the required distance, the entity will pass over that point.

Usage :

Code:

engfunc(EngFunc_MoveToOrigin, iEnt, Float:Destination[3], Float:Distance, iMoveType);

Parameters
iEnt = Entity index
Destination[3] = A Coordinate toward which the entity moves
Distance = The distance to move the entity
iMoveType = This is the MOVE_* option used for monsters and players to change the behaviour of the movement

Code:

#define MOVE_NORMAL		0	// normal move in the direction monster is facing
#define MOVE_STRAFE		1	// moves in direction specified, no matter which way monster is facing
#define MOVE_STUCK_DIST		32	// if a monster can't step this far, it is stuck.
#define MOVE_START_TURN_DIST	64	// when this far away from moveGoal, start turning to face next goal

Caveats :

iEnt must be on ground
If there's an object closer than Distance that iEnt could collide then the movement is not done
If there's a ramp, it works like an object and the movement is not done

Almost every option gives the same result, but if you use MOVETYPE_NONE, you could get random movements.

...

(tested with players only)

That may be why. Test with an entity you created.

Movetype are that :

Code:

#define MOVE_NORMAL           0  // normal move in the direction monster is facing
#define MOVE_STRAFE           1  // moves in direction specified, no matter which way monster is facing

#define MOVE_STUCK_DIST       32 // if a monster can't step this far, it is stuck.
#define MOVE_START_TURN_DIST  64 // when this far away from moveGoal, start turning to face next goal

It's used mainly for monster but should work on player.

Yeah!
Updated.

When I was using MOVE_NORMAL, I saw random movements but with this information it makes sense.

Thanks
