Fix attach_view issue please

SVC · **Author**

Hi, can someboy help me with the next code:

PHP Code:


			
#include    AMXMODX

#include    ENGINE



new bool:g_bInvertYaw;



public plugin_init()

{

    register_clcmd("__weapon__", "__give_weapon__");

    register_clcmd("invert_angle", "invert_angle");

}



public invert_angle() g_bInvertYaw = !g_bInvertYaw;



public __give_weapon__(const iPlayer)

{

    // It's only for testing purpose; code can be improved a lot, I know :)...

    

    new Float:fCoords[3];

    entity_get_vector(iPlayer, EV_VEC_origin, fCoords);

    

    fCoords[2] += 35.0;

    

    new iWeapon = create_entity("info_target");

    {

        entity_set_origin(iWeapon, fCoords);

        entity_set_model(iWeapon, "models/v_ak47.mdl");

        

        entity_set_string(iWeapon, EV_SZ_classname, "__custom_weapon__");

        entity_set_edict(iWeapon, EV_ENT_owner, iPlayer);

        entity_set_float(iWeapon, EV_FL_nextthink, 0.001);

    set_rendering(iWeapon, kRenderFxGlowShell, 255, 0, 255, kRenderNormal, 5);

    

        // I think doesn't necessary explain what it does..

        attach_view(iPlayer, iWeapon);

        

        register_think("__custom_weapon__", "__think_custom_weapon__");

    }

}



public __think_custom_weapon__(const iEnt)

{

    new iOwner = entity_get_edict(iEnt, EV_ENT_owner);



    static Float:fCoords[3];

    entity_get_vector(iOwner, EV_VEC_origin, fCoords);



    entity_set_origin(iEnt, fCoords);

    

    /*

    Here I set custom-weapon's angles to the player's view-angles

    However even if I reverse they (more precisely the yaw-angle), the up/down view will be reverse "again"

    

    I can't explain better this, so when you test code you will see what i've saying

    */

    

    static Float:fViewAngles[3];

    entity_get_vector(iOwner, EV_VEC_v_angle, fViewAngles);

    

    // What I'm doing here is reverse the up/down angle (for testing) but doesn't not have effect

    if (g_bInvertYaw)

        fViewAngles[0] = -fViewAngles[0];

    

    entity_set_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_angles, fViewAngles);

    entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_nextthink, 0.001);

}

What I was looking for is trying to make a "fake-weapon" for testing purpouse, but I've a problem with weapon-angles

Sorry for my bad english, I really hope somebody helpme with this

I apologize in advance for the spaghetti code but I really couldn't think of any other way to accomplish your goal... I created a duplicate entity, made it invisible, and made the attach_view follow that entity instead, so I inverted the yaw for the real entity and kept it the same for the invisible one...

PHP Code:


			
#include    AMXMODX
#include    ENGINE

new bool:g_bInvertYaw;

public plugin_init()
{
    register_clcmd("__weapon__", "__give_weapon__");
    register_clcmd("invert_angle", "invert_angle");
}

public invert_angle() g_bInvertYaw = !g_bInvertYaw;

public __give_weapon__(const iPlayer)
{
    // It's only for testing purpose; code can be improved a lot, I know :)...
    
    new Float:fCoords[3];
    entity_get_vector(iPlayer, EV_VEC_origin, fCoords);
    
    fCoords[2] += 35.0;
    
    new iWeapon = create_entity("info_target");
    {
        entity_set_origin(iWeapon, fCoords);
        entity_set_model(iWeapon, "models/v_ak47.mdl");
        
        entity_set_string(iWeapon, EV_SZ_classname, "__custom_weapon__");
        entity_set_edict(iWeapon, EV_ENT_owner, iPlayer);
        entity_set_float(iWeapon, EV_FL_nextthink, 0.001);
        set_rendering(iWeapon, kRenderFxGlowShell, 255, 0, 255, kRenderNormal, 5);
        
        register_think("__custom_weapon__", "__think_custom_weapon__");
        
        new iWeapon2 = create_entity("info_target") 
        entity_set_model(iWeapon2, "models/v_ak47.mdl");
        entity_set_origin(iWeapon2, fCoords);        
        
        entity_set_int(iWeapon2, EV_INT_rendermode, kRenderTransAlpha)
        entity_set_int(iWeapon2, EV_FL_renderamt, 0)

        attach_view(iPlayer, iWeapon2);

        
        entity_set_int(iWeapon, EV_INT_iuser1, iWeapon2);
    }
}

public __think_custom_weapon__(const iEnt)
{
    static iOwner 
    iOwner = entity_get_edict(iEnt, EV_ENT_owner);
    static iEnt2 
    iEnt2 = entity_get_int(iEnt, EV_INT_iuser1);
    static Float:fCoords[3];
    entity_get_vector(iOwner, EV_VEC_origin, fCoords);

    entity_set_origin(iEnt, fCoords);
    entity_set_origin(iEnt2, fCoords);
        
    static Float:fViewAngles[3];
    entity_get_vector(iOwner, EV_VEC_v_angle, fViewAngles);
    
    
    entity_set_vector(iEnt2, EV_VEC_angles, fViewAngles);
    
    fViewAngles[0] = -fViewAngles[0];
    entity_set_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_angles, fViewAngles);

    entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_nextthink, 0.001);
}

Hi!.

Yeah, that fix is good. Even before i made above code i've think on that fix. But, originally i was trying to using the less entities possible.

And there is one issue with that: angles-view problem stills on, but now from the perspective of around players. I mean, if I have a custom-weapon and you see me, when i face up you will see the weapon on my hands go down and vice versa

I expected somebody have knowledge dealing with this. Anyway, thanks a lot man for you help man.

This can be solved using AddToFullPack and editing the yaw from there for the owner only then instead of creating a new entity, let me know if you need help using that function.

SVC · 09-06-2022 , 15:47 Re: Fix attach_view issue please

Can you give me an example?

I remember i've done some similar thing with AddToFullPack but problem persists. Or maybe what you say is another way?.

One last thing I think i can do, is hide model from 3rd players but not for Owner, and still using weapon "playermodel" model.

In the end, if this works or not, doesn't matter for me, I just wanna test

zXCaptainXz · 09-06-2022 , 16:32 Re: Fix attach_view issue please

Apparently attach_view was still stubborn even when it comes to AddToFullPack, I wrote a hybrid solution between the two, so I created 2 entities, and only inverted the angle for the owner in AddToFullPack. This method is very sketchy I know, but until someone comes up with a better one I guess you're stuck with this for now :/

PHP Code:


			
#include    AMXMODX
#include    ENGINE
#include    FAKEMETA

public plugin_init()
{
    register_clcmd("__weapon__", "__give_weapon__");
    register_forward(FM_AddToFullPack, "fw_addtofullpack", 1)
}

public fw_addtofullpack(es_handle,e,ent,host,hostflags,player,pSet)
{
    if(player) return FMRES_IGNORED;      
    if(!pev_valid(ent)) return FMRES_IGNORED;
    new classname[32]
    pev(ent,pev_classname,classname,31)
    if(!equali(classname,"__custom_weapon__")) return FMRES_IGNORED   

    if(pev(ent, pev_owner)!=host) return FMRES_IGNORED
    static Float:fViewAngles[3];
    get_es(es_handle, ES_Angles, fViewAngles);
    fViewAngles[0] = -fViewAngles[0]
    set_es(es_handle, ES_Angles, fViewAngles);
    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}

public __give_weapon__(const iPlayer)
{
    new Float:fCoords[3];
    entity_get_vector(iPlayer, EV_VEC_origin, fCoords);
    
    fCoords[2] += 35.0;
    
    new iWeapon = create_entity("info_target");
    {
        entity_set_origin(iWeapon, fCoords);
        entity_set_model(iWeapon, "models/v_ak47.mdl");
        
        entity_set_string(iWeapon, EV_SZ_classname, "__custom_weapon__");
        entity_set_edict(iWeapon, EV_ENT_owner, iPlayer);
        entity_set_float(iWeapon, EV_FL_nextthink, 0.001);
        set_rendering(iWeapon, kRenderFxGlowShell, 255, 0, 255, kRenderNormal, 5);
        
        register_think("__custom_weapon__", "__think_custom_weapon__");
        
        new iWeapon2 = create_entity("info_target") 
        entity_set_model(iWeapon2, "models/v_ak47.mdl");
        entity_set_origin(iWeapon2, fCoords);        
        
        entity_set_int(iWeapon2, EV_INT_rendermode, kRenderTransAlpha)
        entity_set_int(iWeapon2, EV_FL_renderamt, 0)

        attach_view(iPlayer, iWeapon2);

        
        entity_set_int(iWeapon, EV_INT_iuser1, iWeapon2);
    }
}

public __think_custom_weapon__(const iEnt)
{
    static iOwner 
    iOwner = entity_get_edict(iEnt, EV_ENT_owner);
    static iEnt2 
    iEnt2 = entity_get_int(iEnt, EV_INT_iuser1);
    static Float:fCoords[3];
    entity_get_vector(iOwner, EV_VEC_origin, fCoords);

    entity_set_origin(iEnt, fCoords);
    entity_set_origin(iEnt2, fCoords);
        
    static Float:fViewAngles[3];
    entity_get_vector(iOwner, EV_VEC_v_angle, fViewAngles);
    
    
    entity_set_vector(iEnt2, EV_VEC_angles, fViewAngles);
    
    entity_set_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_angles, fViewAngles);

    entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_nextthink, 0.001);
}

I'm currently on work, but when i get home will test it.

Respect to AddToFullPack, i've 90% sure this is a problem from client-side view handlement. But unfortunately i don't have any open-source from where see how works.

Again, big thanks man, will test and tell you if works

PD: Well, seems it works good. Will test more days, if have any issues i'll post
