ok im trying to get this stock to work but it gives me this error in my runtime logs:

L 04/11/2008 - 19:39:12: SourceMod error session started
L 04/11/2008 - 19:39:12: Info (map "de_dust") (file "errors_20080411.log")
L 04/11/2008 - 19:39:12: [SM] Native "GetEntDataFloat" reported: Offset -1 is invalid
L 04/11/2008 - 19:39:12: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "SourceMod Stocks Test.smx":

Heres Whats Supposed To Happen :

 
/*
DistanceToTheFloor(Ent)
 
 * Returns The Distance To The Floor (Float)
 * Ent Is The Index Of The Entity/Player (Integer)
 * Returns -1 On Failure
 
*/

and heres my stock function:

PHP Code:

 
public Float:DistanceToTheFloor(Ent)
{
 new m_Origin = FindSendPropOffs("CBaseFlex", "m_vecAbsOrigin");
 new Float:Origins[3];
 new Float:Distance;
 
 if(IsValidEntity(Ent))
 {
  Origins[2] = GetEntDataFloat(Ent,m_Origin);
  Origins[1] == Distance;
 
  return Distance; 
 }
 return -1.0;
} 


and heres my test plugin :

PHP Code:

 
 
#include <sourcemod>
#include <sm_functions>
public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
 name = "SourceMod Stocks Test",
 author = "Peoples Army",
 description = "<- Description ->",
 version = "1.0",
 url = "<- URL ->"
}
public OnPluginStart()
{
 HookEvent("player_spawn",Spawn);
}
public Action:Spawn(Handle:event,const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
 new userid = GetEventInt(event,"userid");
 new client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);
 
 if(IsClientInGame(client))
 {
  new Float:Test = DistanceToTheFloor(client);
  PrintToChatAll("Distance is %d",Test);
 }
} 


ive used m_vecAbsOrigin before (actualy earlier today) and it worked fine , i did it the same exact way i did here retrieving the offset with a FIndSendPropOffs();


any ideas why im getting this error and how to get and calcualte the origins properly ?

CBaseFlex doesn't seem to fit in there. See http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/CBaseFlex for details.

The origin you are trying to read is relative to the world origin (0,0,0) and not related in any way to the floor the player is standing on/flying above.

I suggest drawing a traceline from the client's origin to the floor along the client's z-angle vector (or (0,0,-1)=vec_world_z_0 if you expect it to be perpendicular to the vec_world_x x vec_world_y plane).

hmm see thats weird , cuz i jsut used it an hour ago in another plugin and it worked perfectly , then i used it here and got this error .

well [1] is the x axis , which is measure by its distance to the floor (or maybee z is measure by its distance to the floor )

To help you out

[Peoples Army]

so then the z axis would be measured from the floor

[Davethegreat]

Yep.

[Peoples Army]

ok , so theoritcly , the z model would give me the distance to the floor .

so how should i correctly get the origins ? cuz my above script gives me an error

should

[Davethegreat]

the error says
L 04/11/2008 - 199:12: [SM] Native "GetEntDataFloat" reported: Offset -1 is invalid
Maybe changed -1 to 0?

[Peoples Army]

no , look at the way i got the offset

PHP Code:

 
new Origins[3];
new m_Origin = FindSendPropOffs("CBaseFlex", "m_vecAbsOrigin");
 
Origins[2] = GetEntDataFloat(Ent,m_Origin); 


see i got the offset using a

PHP Code:

 
findsendpropoff() 


that reaches for the offset "m_vecAbsOrigin", then it stors that offset in m_Origin (my variable) , and i use the variable to get the origin from

PHP Code:

 
 GetEntDataFLoat() 


so the question is , why is it returning -1 to my varaible ? or how else can i retirieve the offset?

[SAMURAI16]

try with GetEntDataVector()
