I'm trying to find a solution for the plugin back weapons by cheap_suit to not use custom models and use w_ models, so far i can't get nothing. I tried changing the origin with entity_set_origin but dunno what is wrong.

if(g_bwEnt[id] < 1)
	{
		g_bwEnt[id] = create_entity("info_target")
		if(g_bwEnt[id] > 0)
		{
			new float:test[3]
			entity_get_vector(id, EV_VEC_origin,test)
			entity_set_origin(g_bwEnt[id], test)
			entity_set_int(g_bwEnt[id], EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW)
			entity_set_edict(g_bwEnt[id], EV_ENT_aiment, id)
			test[1] += 500.0 // numbers just for test
			test[2] += 9998.0
			entity_set_origin(g_bwEnt[id], test)
		}
	}

Any other idea to change the angle and origin are welcome.

Another question, how do i make a model invisible using fakemeta, so far on engine i used set_entity_visibility.

EDIT: After trying a little more things with fakemeta, i think that's not possible to change the angles using the current method for the model follow the player.

It must be something with amxx or the hl1 engine that doens't let you add angles to the info_target model. Their angles just follow the player angles, and if you think in using another method, i'm pretty sure it will lag a lot.

heres a stock i use that is from VEN's fakemeta_util

stock fm_set_entity_visibility(index, visible = 1) 	//from fakemeta_util
{
	set_pev(index, pev_effects, visible == 1 ? pev(index, pev_effects) & ~EF_NODRAW : pev(index, pev_effects) | EF_NODRAW)

	return 1
}

if you dont want to just use the stock, it at least shows you how to do it...

Thx diamond-optic, i followed what you said and found out that using pev_effects have solved my problem. From back weapons by cheap_suit:

if(equal(modelName, "models/pshell.mdl"))
			{
				set_pev(g_bwEnt[id], pev_effects, EF_NODRAW)
				return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
			}
			
			set_pev(g_bwEnt[id], pev_effects, 0)

About the problem with the angles and origin of the weapon model that is set to MOVETYPE_FOLLOW, it follows the aiment entitie. The only fix possible is suggesting a new feature, which will be change the origin and angle of a MOVETYPE_FOLLOW.

Don't know if there's another way, because getting the player origin and angles to use with another entitie doesn't do the same effect. Even if you set a task to the minimum time.

i tried to do the same thing when he released that..

i wanted to use it for dod but also didnt want to have a whole lot of models to download (plus that would put me well over the precache limit) but it seems i ran into the same problems you are :-) so i gave up and moved on lol

Just a question I ask :

The backpack w_ model :

[IMG]http://img218.**************/img218/4650/backpacksd7.th.jpg[/IMG]

Look at the ground position (the backpack is on the ground) but in the game it can be in the back of terrorist and on the ground. Can't the origin or I don't know what can't be used with that ?

[VEN]

No, it's controlled by the body pev. It's hardcoded into the T-models.

Oh I see ! :'( too bad for now...
