Hi,
I am working at custom re-die plugin. I am pushing
SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_lifeState", 1);
And its ok, after respawn i set lifeState to 1, player is "dead", but can move etc.
When lifeState 1 is trigerred, its disabling rendering.
I am checkin offsets, so.. (changing them to exact as living value)

*** m_nRenderFX 0, m_nRenderMode 1, m_clrRender -1, m_nSkin 0, ent effects 8***
*DEAD* SUPER TIMOR : !ghost
***m_nRenderFX 0, m_nRenderMode 1, m_clrRender -1, m_nSkin 0, ent effects 8***
Model is still not drawable. Any ideas?

// of course goal is to make re-died character visible by other re-died players

re-die - "ghost mode", to play while alive

Okay.. next step.
I am using solution from Mitch's plugin, also Zeph's store is included.. so mixed

public int CreatePlayerModelProp(int client, char[] sModel) {
float m_flClientOrigin[3], m_flClientAngles[3];
float m_flPosition[3] = {0.0, 0.0, -20.0};
float m_flAngles[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
GetClientAbsOrigin(client, m_flClientOrigin);
GetClientAbsAngles(client, m_flClientAngles);
float m_fForward[3];
float m_fRight[3];
float m_fUp[3];
GetAngleVectors(m_flClientAngles, m_fForward, m_fRight, m_fUp);
m_flClientOrigin[0] += m_fRight[0]*m_flPosition[0]+m_fForward[0]*m_flPosition[1]+m_fUp[0]*m_flPosition[2];
m_flClientOrigin[1] += m_fRight[1]*m_flPosition[0]+m_fForward[1]*m_flPosition[1]+m_fUp[1]*m_flPosition[2];
m_flClientOrigin[2] += m_fRight[2]*m_flPosition[0]+m_fForward[2]*m_flPosition[1]+m_fUp[2]*m_flPosition[2];
m_flAngles[1] += m_flClientAngles[1];

int skin = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic_override");
DispatchKeyValue(skin, "model", sModel);
DispatchKeyValue(skin, "disablereceiveshadows", "1");
DispatchKeyValue(skin, "disableshadows", "1");
DispatchKeyValue(skin, "solid", "0");
DispatchKeyValue(skin, "spawnflags", "256");
SetEntProp(skin, Prop_Send, "m_CollisionGroup", 11);
DispatchSpawn(skin);
AcceptEntityInput(skin, "TurnOn", skin, skin, 0);
SetEntProp(skin, Prop_Send, "m_fEffects", EF_BONEMERGE|EF_NOSHADOW|EF_NORECEIVESHADOW|E F_PARENT_ANIMATES);
TeleportEntity(skin, m_flClientOrigin, m_flAngles, NULL_VECTOR);
SetVariantString("!activator");
// AcceptEntityInput(skin, "SetParent", client, skin, 0);
// AcceptEntityInput(skin, "SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset", skin, skin, 0);
CreateTimer(0.5, Parent, client);
return skin;
}
public Action Parent(Handle timer, any client) {
if(IsValidEntity(ghostModel[client]))
{
AcceptEntityInput(ghostModel[client], "SetParent", client, ghostModel[client], 0);
AcceptEntityInput(ghostModel[client], "SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset", ghostModel[client], ghostModel[client], 0);
}
}

There's funny thing. If I parent entity to me, its changing it's angles and position, even if I teleport it before.

Huh, what exactly are you trying to do? How's the re-die plugin supposed to work?

This is plugin i am working on, and currently added a lot of features. I am working on next feature, where players can see each other when dead, ghosted.
SetTransmit has nothing to do with this, because if player m_LifeState is 1/2, there's no chance to switch player model or anything. So i need to make an entity, parent it to a player and set entity's model. Its working, but when I try to parent this entity, its switching position to top/right of player's head, looking to the right. Always.
I tried to TeleportEntity after spawning it, before parenting. No results..

You can try this:

PHP Code:

public int CreatePlayerModelProp(int client, char[] sModel) {
    float m_flClientOrigin[3], m_flClientAngles[3];
    float m_flPosition[3] = {0.0, 0.0, -20.0};
    float m_flAngles[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client, m_flClientOrigin);
    GetClientAbsAngles(client, m_flClientAngles);
    float m_fForward[3];
    float m_fRight[3];
    float m_fUp[3];
    GetAngleVectors(m_flClientAngles, m_fForward, m_fRight, m_fUp);
    m_flClientOrigin[0] += m_fRight[0]*m_flPosition[0]+m_fForward[0]*m_flPosition[1]+m_fUp[0]*m_flPosition[2];
    m_flClientOrigin[1] += m_fRight[1]*m_flPosition[0]+m_fForward[1]*m_flPosition[1]+m_fUp[1]*m_flPosition[2];
    m_flClientOrigin[2] += m_fRight[2]*m_flPosition[0]+m_fForward[2]*m_flPosition[1]+m_fUp[2]*m_flPosition[2];
    m_flAngles[1] += m_flClientAngles[1];
    
    int skin = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic_override");
    DispatchKeyValue(skin, "model", sModel);
    DispatchKeyValue(skin, "disablereceiveshadows", "1");
    DispatchKeyValue(skin, "disableshadows", "1");
    DispatchKeyValue(skin, "solid", "0");
    DispatchKeyValue(skin, "spawnflags", "256");
    SetEntProp(skin, Prop_Send, "m_CollisionGroup", 11);
    DispatchSpawn(skin);
    AcceptEntityInput(skin, "TurnOn", skin, skin, 0);
    SetEntProp(skin, Prop_Send, "m_fEffects", EF_BONEMERGE|EF_NOSHADOW|EF_NORECEIVESHADOW|EF_PARENT_ANIMATES);
    TeleportEntity(skin, m_flClientOrigin, m_flAngles, NULL_VECTOR);
    SetEntPropEnt(skin, Prop_Send, "moveparent", client);
    return skin;
}

Unfortunately, the same effect. I am standing on the ground of course, so model is attached to top-right point of my head, facing my right.

Try replacing:

PHP Code:

SetEntProp(skin, Prop_Send, "m_fEffects", EF_BONEMERGE|EF_NOSHADOW|EF_NORECEIVESHADOW|EF_PARENT_ANIMATES); 


with:

PHP Code:

SetEntProp(skin, Prop_Send, "m_fEffects", EF_NOSHADOW|EF_NORECEIVESHADOW); 


I suspect it's because of the prop being bonemerged to the player, and since the player is dead, wonky things would happen.
The model won't be able to follow the player's animations though.

If I remove EF_BONEMERGE, then model won't show for me :/

You can probably take a look at the [L4D2] Incapped Crawling with Animation plugin, it uses a similar system of a fake model for the player, but without bonemerging.

puuuh.....try to set the parentbone correctly ex:

PHP Code:

SetVariantString("!activator");
AcceptEntityInput(skin, "SetParent", Client, skin);
// "facemask" CSGO should match what you want......
SetVariantString("facemask"); 
AcceptEntityInput(skin, "SetParentAttachment", skin, skin, 0);
