Hi, I tried to change the beam length based on HLSDK but it didn't work.

PHP Code:

void CTripmineGrenade :: MakeBeam( void )
{
   TraceResult tr;

   // ALERT( at_console, "serverflags %f\n", gpGlobals->serverflags );

   UTIL_TraceLine( pev->origin, m_vecEnd, dont_ignore_monsters, ENT( pev ), &tr );

   m_flBeamLength = tr.flFraction;

   // set to follow laser spot
   SetThink( &CTripmineGrenade::BeamBreakThink );
   pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + 0.1;

   Vector vecTmpEnd = pev->origin + m_vecDir * 2048 * m_flBeamLength

   m_pBeam = CBeam::BeamCreate( g_pModelNameLaser, 10 );
   m_pBeam->PointEntInit( vecTmpEnd, entindex() );
   m_pBeam->SetColor( 0, 214, 198 );
   m_pBeam->SetScrollRate( 255 );
   m_pBeam->SetBrightness( 64 );
} 


What i do:

PHP Code:

public EmitSound(entity, channel, const sound[])
{
   if(equal(sound , "weapons/mine_activate.wav"))
   {
      
      //static beam; beam = get_pdata_cbase(tripmine, m_pBeam, extraoffset_linux);   
      static Float: origin[3]
      static Float: vecEnd[3]
      static Float: vecDir[3];
      static Float: m_fBeamLength 
      
      pev(tripmine , pev_origin, origin)
      
      vecEnd[0] = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecEnd_x, extraoffset_linux);
      vecEnd[1] = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecEnd_y, extraoffset_linux);
      vecEnd[2] = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecEnd_z, extraoffset_linux);
      
      vecDir[0] = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecDir_x, extraoffset_linux)
      vecDir[1] = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecDir_y, extraoffset_linux)
      vecDir[2] = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecDir_z, extraoffset_linux)
      //global_get( glb_v_forward, dir );
      //angle_vector(origin, ANGLEVECTOR_FORWARD, dir)
      m_fBeamLength  = get_pdata_float(tripmine, m_flBeamLength, extraoffset_linux)


      vecEnd[0] = origin[0] + vecDir[0] * 2048.0 * m_fBeamLength
      vecEnd[1] = origin[1] + vecDir[1] * 2048.0 * m_fBeamLength
      vecEnd[2] = origin[2] + vecDir[2] * 2048.0 * m_fBeamLength
      

      set_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecEnd_x, vecEnd[0], extraoffset_linux)
      set_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecEnd_y, vecEnd[1], extraoffset_linux)
      set_pdata_float(tripmine, m_vecEnd_z, vecEnd[2], extraoffset_linux) 
      
      //Beam_PointEntInit(beam, vecEnd, tripmine)
      
      client_print(0, print_chat,"=============  This ====> Done!")
      
      return FMRES_IGNORED;
      //return FMRES_SUPERCEDE;
   }
   return FMRES_IGNORED;
} 


I should change the value of 2048.0 to a lower value, but the method seems wrong because the results remain the same
Is there a way that makes more sense?

Since MakeBeam() is called two times, you should probably hook Ham_Spawn on the "beam" entity instead if you don't want to work with orpheu. Then add a small delay, either using RequestFrame or set_task, get the owner of the beam and check if it's a tripmine, use CBeam::GetEndEntity to do that. Now just update the end position of the beam by calling CBeam::SetStartPos and CBeam::RelinkBeam

You will need to update CTripmine->m_vecEnd as well
