How would I go about finding if a bullet hit a func_water in a map?

I'd like to recreate the splash effect seen in counterstrike:source.

hmm that could be hard...

I don't think bullets are always entities, you would have to hook TraceLine then... Would be best to do in a metamod plugin :]

[ThantiK]

Damn...burst my bubble.

I thought the effect was cool on counter-strike:source vid, and I was thinking, what better way to proove AMX is great than by replicating these things?

Maybe bailo or you PM would know how to do it in AMX?...or make it possible?

of course its not only func_water u want....maybe theres a way to test if a point is in water (PointContents?) coz if so u can make it check every few frames or so and spew a bubble at that time

hmm yes you could maybe find out when the player's weapon shoots a bullet and do traceline on his aiming and do your effects :]

i think it would look a little weird though.

[ThantiK]

Qwerty, it would be easy to work with...

Calculate if the angle is so much, if its almost horizontal angle, then do a sprite, if not, dont.

k I have been thinking about this a bit... You could probably check the sequence and frame of the client's current weapon. If it is the shoot sequence and the thing shoots a bullet, you could do some effects. But: a) the weapons in CS don't always shoot in player's aim direction (for example para on fullauto ) and watch out for kinfe xD

[ThantiK]

haha, I got PM interested in something.

Is there a way to trace where a bullet HITS? and not just the aiming?

It could be useful for perhaps adding custom decals to walls, instead of using default decals, server could use their own...?

And also doing that water effect. If it could return what texture an object hit has, and the hitpoint?

[ts2do]

ya get_user_origin has an option to get hit point
