Hello, i wanna create a plugin that can spawn a pet (with animation) and follow our movement. But the strange issue happen to me. The model spawn but it attach to weird coordinate on player body, also the animation seems stuck.

I don't think the code is wrong because when i use a different hat model it stay in right coordinate and with animation too.

I attached the code and models.

The Pet Plugin

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <engine>

new const szModelPets[][]={"models/we_pet/pet0.mdl","models/we_pet/pet1.mdl"}

new iUserPet[33]
new const CLASSNAME_PET[]="we_pet"

public plugin_precache()
{
    for(new i=0; i < sizeof szModelPets; i++)
    {
        precache_model(szModelPets[i])
    }
}

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Assistant Pet", "0.0.1", "metal_upa")

    register_clcmd("say /pet", "CmdPet")
}

public CmdPet(id)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id)) return PLUGIN_HANDLED;

    RemovePet(id)
    CreatePet(id)

    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
}

public client_disconnected(id)
{
    RemovePet(id)
    iUserPet[id] = -1;
}

RemovePet(id)
{
    new ent = iUserPet[id]
    if(ent != -1 && pev_valid(ent))
    {
        new szClassname[32];
        pev(ent, pev_classname, szClassname, 31);
        if(equal(szClassname, CLASSNAME_PET))
        {
            set_pev(ent, pev_flags, FL_KILLME)
            dllfunc(DLLFunc_Think, ent)
            iUserPet[id] = -1;
        }
    }
}

CreatePet(id)
{
    new ent = create_entity("info_target")
    if(!pev_valid(ent)) return;

    new iRandom = random(sizeof szModelPets)
    set_pev(ent, pev_classname, CLASSNAME_PET)
    entity_set_model(ent, szModelPets[iRandom])
    set_pev(ent, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW)
    set_pev(ent, pev_aiment, id)
    set_pev(ent, pev_sequence, 0)
    set_pev(ent, pev_framerate, 1.0)
    set_pev(ent, pev_animtime, get_gametime())

    iUserPet[id] = ent;
    client_print(id, print_chat, "[WePet] Your pet is: %s", szModelPets[iRandom])
}

CreatePet(id)
{
    new ent = create_entity("info_target")
    if(!pev_valid(ent)) return;

    new iRandom = random(sizeof szModelPets)
    set_pev(ent, pev_classname, CLASSNAME_PET)
    entity_set_model(ent, szModelPets[iRandom])
    set_pev(ent, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW)
    set_pev(ent, pev_aiment, id)
    set_pev(ent, pev_sequence, 0)
    set_pev(ent, pev_framerate, 1.0)
    set_pev(ent, pev_animtime, get_gametime())

    iUserPet[id] = ent;
    client_print(id, print_chat, "[WePet] Your pet is: %s", szModelPets[iRandom])
}

It seems the model has bad animations, or better yet MOVETYPE_FOLLOW doesn't fit the current pet models...

MOVETYPE_FOLLOW, MOVETYPE_NOCLIP, MOVETYPE_FLY all works with pev_aiment, once we set pev_aiment.. enitity will follow us. I believe there must be something wrong with the model itself, because only certain model has this issue. I don't know much about GoldSrc model.

pev_aiment will take effect only if the entity move type is follow

That's not 100% correct, you can test it with MOVETYPE_FLY or MOVETYPE_NOCLIP, entity still follow player. I've have tested this.

Not a problem this isn't the correct way for this kind of model, you need to update the model origin on each time the player think

It once happened with me also … try to change model origin … i do same
