Hi RAGE, any good news?

[Arkshine]

Here some stuff from Joaquim : Class Creator.

Originally Posted by Joaquim This is a module that allows you to create new classes for entities based on existent classes. For example, you can create a "weapon_boomerang" based on "weapon_knife" and use it then in other plugins seamlessly without having to rely on an API, just using it straight way. It does support hamsandwich so you can handle new entities with new classnames like you do normally for old classes.

Please note :

- It would have been better to make class_creator as a library but Joaquim doesn't have the time right now.
- Remember that if you can make the weapon with C++ you should because of increased efficiency and less trouble on handle intricate stuff.
- There are room for improvements and we wanted to present this module differently but at the end better to share unpolished stuffs rather than keeping it for us.

2 examples are provided through a :

- Pawn plugin ; basic example which creates just a weapon_boomerang entity based on the deagle and does nothing else.
- Module ; more elaborated example which create a real weapon weapon_hivehand (the same as HL1) based on the ak47. (next post)

With a pawn plugin :

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <rage>
#include <fun>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <hamsandwich>
#include <class_creator>

public plugin_precache()
{
    CreateNewClass("weapon_boomerang","weapon_deagle")

    precache_generic( "sprites/weapon_boomerang.txt" );

    RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn,"weapon_deagle","OnSpawnDeagle")
    RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn,"weapon_boomerang","OnSpawnBoomerang")

    RegisterHam( Ham_Item_AddToPlayer, "weapon_boomerang", "OnAddToPlayerBoomerang", .Post = true );

    register_clcmd("boo","give_boomerang")
    register_clcmd("say boo","give_boomerang")
}

public OnSpawnDeagle(id)
{
    new classname[32]
    pev(id,pev_classname,classname,31)

    client_print(0,print_chat,"Spawned a %s",classname)
}

public OnSpawnBoomerang(id)
{
    new classname[32]
    pev(id,pev_classname,classname,31)

    client_print(0,print_chat,"Spawned a %s",classname)
}

public give_boomerang(id)
{
    give_item(id,"weapon_boomerang")
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public OnAddToPlayerBoomerang( const item, const player )
{
    if( pev_valid( item ) && is_user_alive( player ) )
    {
        static msgIndexWeaponList; msgIndexWeaponList || ( msgIndexWeaponList = get_user_msgid( "WeaponList" ) );

        message_begin( MSG_ONE, msgIndexWeaponList, .player = player );
        {
            write_string( "weapon_boomerang" ); // WeaponName
            write_byte( 8 ); // PrimaryAmmoID
            write_byte( 35 ); // PrimaryAmmoMaxAmount
            write_byte( -1 ); // SecondaryAmmoID
            write_byte( -1 ); // SecondaryAmmoMaxAmount
            write_byte( 1 ); // SlotID (0...N)
            write_byte( 1 ); // NumberInSlot (1...N)
            write_byte( CSW_DEAGLE ); // WeaponID
            write_byte( 0 ); // Flags
        }
        message_end();
    }
} 


Some explanations :

- The key is the use of CreateNewClass. It allows to create a new entity and can be used everywhere you want, like with give_item native or be hooked with what you want.
- To make a weapon, you have to deal with the HUD. In order to show the sprites of the new weapon and to tell the client you use a new weapon (to be able to select it), you have to deal with WeaponList message. You need to create a new file weapon_boomerang.txt containing your sprites. For more information you can look at the Custom Weapon Hud Sprites + Slot Redirection tutorial (Note: you don't need to hook the command)
- The example above is not really complete, for example, you create a new weapon based on the deagle : if you get your new weapon, you will see your new sprites, but if you drop it and get a real deagle, the hud will be fucked up. It's just a matter to send again a WeaponList message with the original value if you get a deagle and you were using before your new weapon.

It's important to update Rage to the vBeta3 !

Here the module example.

Please note :

- class_creator is integrated inside the module. It creates the entity "weapon_hivehand".
- I have a lot of trouble to get this working under linux without crash, while under windows it works like a charm. Please consider a release windows-only for now.
- Don't ask me to customize the weapon, it's just an example.
- This example may lead to an global API to make weapons later, like WeaponMod, but the core as module, weapons as sub-modules, and pawn plugins to customize things.
- The source code is kind of messy because of linux.
- The weapon uses a custom v_ model because the HL weapons are designed to right and in-game you will see the weapon at left. So, a new model flipped to left is provided.

Some screenchots : #1, #2, #3

Here the pawn plugin provided to show how it's nice to be able to us directly a new entity name :

Spoiler

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <rage>
#include <fun>
#include <cstrike>

new MaxServerSlots;
 
public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin( "Hornet Gun Example", "1.0", "Arkshine" );

    register_clcmd( "hive", "ClientCommand_GiveHornetGun" );
    register_clcmd( "say hive", "ClientCommand_GiveHornetGun" );

    MaxServerSlots = get_maxplayers();
}

public ClientCommand_GiveHornetGun( const client )
{
    give_item( client, "weapon_hivehand" );
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}


// Added 2 forwards for fun to control the tracking and touch.
forward OnHornetTracking( const hornet, const hornetOwner, const trackedEntity );
forward OnHornetDieTouch( const hornet, const hornetOwner, const touchedEntity );

#define IsPlayer(%0)     ( 1 <= %0 <= MaxServerSlots )
#define SameTeam(%0,%1)  ( IsPlayer( %0 ) && cs_get_user_team( %1 ) == cs_get_user_team( %0 ) )

public OnHornetTracking( const hornet, const hornetOwner, const trackedEntity )
{
    return SameTeam( trackedEntity, hornetOwner );
}

public OnHornetDieTouch( const hornet, const hornetOwner, const touchedEntity )
{
    return SameTeam( touchedEntity, hornetOwner );
} 


As side-note, I've added 2 forwards for fun to control to whom the hornet should track and make damage.
By default, it ignores players of a same team.
Damage by default is on 10. Sorry forgot to add something to control it. :p


To install :

1) Install Rage beta3
2) Unzip & overwrite if ask hornetgun_BIN.zip in your $moddir.
3) Restart
4) In-game, just type the command hive in console or chat.
5) Enjoy.

Arkshine - Love the idea but everytime i try this my dedicated server freeze's its windows to. Im not sure what could be going on I have installed it just like you said and have updated rage and did a full restart and everything. Would be nice to know if im doing something or could be a mistake on plugin side.

[yokomo]

1 question, where is rage.inc file? i cannot find it on the archive file.

[Arkshine]

@Pastout : Download again the zip, I've updated the module and plugin. It should be fixed now.

@yokomo : Sorry rage_beta3_BIN.zip was not containing all it should ; it's fixed now.


For people who has downloading/installing rage_beta3_BIN.zip for the first time, please download/install again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[yokomo]

Haha kinda funny using hornet gun in cs, but sadly it crashed hlds when im using fun native "strip_user_weapons".

[Arkshine]

Just tried and it doesn't crash for me. I've used a command which throw the native.
Try again to download the package, I've updated the dll and amxx, not sure you're using the latest version.

oh my God this small plugin adds fully working Hornet Gun or what?

Arkshine - Works perfect great job.
