How do I select sprite frame?

Yeah I got that part. Now I'm having troubles getting sprite entity id...

PHP Code:

    message_begin( MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY );
    write_byte( TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT );
    write_byte( id );
    write_coord( 80 );
    write_short( g_t_red_spr ); 
    write_short( get_pcvar_num( g_sprtime ) );
    message_end(); 


Tried find_ent_by_* but didn't get the id :/

Simply retrieve it by caching the value of precache_model in plugin_precache? Find_ent_by_* doesn't work because it's not an entity index, it's simply an index.

This is the code atm:

PHP Code:

    message_begin( MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY );
    write_byte( TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT );
    write_byte( id );
    write_coord( 80 );
    write_short( g_t_red_spr ); 
    write_short( get_pcvar_num( g_sprtime ) );
    message_end();

    set_pev(g_t_red_spr, pev_scale, 0.9);
    set_pev(g_t_red_spr, pev_frame, 2); 


sprite doesn't get scaled nor frame changed..

you should create entity and set modelindex to precached sprite model. svc_tementity messages for drawing sprites wont work, you cant get entities from this message.

I probably did something wrong, may you check

PHP Code:

    new ent = create_entity("info_target")

    if(is_valid_ent(ent)) {
        entity_set_model(ent, T_SPRITE)
        set_pev(ent, pev_scale, 0.2);
        set_pev(ent, pev_frame, 2.0);
    }

You get the sprite index, when you precache sprite.

PHP Code:

public plugin_precache( )
{
    g_iSpriteIndex = precache_model("YourSprite.spr");
}

Exactly it's the index but entity_set_model param 2 requires path to model.

P.S. If you mean I should've done like this:

PHP Code:

set_pev(g_t_red_spr, pev_scale, 0.2); 


I tried that, it didn't had any effect.

Thats for messages. For sprite entity you should use model name.


Use this structure, works for me

	>entity_set_model
	>entity_set_origin
	// Convert to pawn code
	>movetype = MOVETYPE_NOCLIP;
	>rendermode = kRenderTransAdd;
	>renderamt = 255.0f;
	>scale = 2.0f;
	>solid = SOLID_NOT;
	>framerate = 18.0f;
	//After this you should loop nexttink to set frame on specified value
	>nextthink
