native PointContents(Float:fCheckAt[3]); //Will return the contents of a point (inside map? in sky? outside map? etc.)


OK what does it mean when it returns -1,-2,-6,etc...

I think -1 means its ok, ur in the map,and anything else is bad?

I looked in the HLSDK but couldn't find any constants declared. Can anyone shed some light on this?

or in this case... RTFIF... (Read the fucking inc files)

Also another usefull thingy u can use for contents are

ViewContents(id).. This will get the contents of the point a user is aiming at

and here is a test script

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("Point At","1.0","AssKicR")
}

public server_frame() {
    for (new id=0;id<=32;id++){
        if (is_user_connected(id)) {
            new CONTENTS = ViewContents(id)
            switch (CONTENTS) {
                case CONTENTS_SKY:          client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at the sky (CONTENTS_SKY)")
                case CONTENTS_EMPTY:        client_print(id,print_center,"You are not looking at anything (CONTENTS_EMPTY)")
                case CONTENTS_SOLID:        client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at something solid (CONTENTS_SOLID)")
                case CONTENTS_WATER:        client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at water (CONTENTS_WATER)")
                case CONTENTS_SLIME:        client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at slime (CONTENTS_SLIME)")
                case CONTENTS_LAVA:         client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at lava (CONTENTS_LAVA)")
                case CONTENTS_LADDER:       client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at a ladder (CONTENTS_LADDER)")
                case CONTENTS_TRANSLUCENT:  client_print(id,print_center,"You are looking at a something translucent (CONTENTS_TRANSLUCENT)")
            }
        }
    }
}

Negative, AssKicr... Your example will always return CONTENTS_SOLID
Try and guess why

I'll give you a hint: They wouldn't be looking at it

the script is tested IceMouse so ur wrong

[IceMouse[WrG]]

Then your explanation is incorrect...Using your script, you pass the origin of the user into PointContents. And obviously, if you've

Oh wait

I missed the 3... Sheesh I can't see a thing in Freecode's forum skin

[AssKicR]

hehe... it takes a little getting used to.. btw i simplified the code a little

What? Simplified crashing HL? :\ Outputting text on every server frame for every person connected... Sheesh

Well this isn't a plugin that is gonna run on a full 32 player server.... it is merly a test script to see how the function PointContens and ViewContents work

;) I know...
