[TF2] Visible Laser Sight for Sniper Riffle

Marverlous · **Author**

Hello, I notice that in mvm, the robot sniper have very cool laser sight coming out of their riffles. Would someone be kind enough to make that feature into normal gameplay?

Not sure if this will be an issue, but if you regconsolecmd on mapstart you're registering it multiple times. Not sure if it will make the command execute twice, but i would recommend on just making it OnPluginStart

What arkarr is doing is attaching a jerky sprite onto the base of the player model (aka between its feet). So it is not what the OP is looking for.
Best way would be to browse around in the particles, attributes, materials and textures of TF2 and also at the sniper rifle's model if there are any useful attachment point you can use (for research or directly to attach something to it). Might even be an extra entity with therefore accessible props.

I.e. from the datamaps:

Arkarr · 03-12-2014 , 07:37 Re: [TF2] Visible Laser Sight for Sniper Riffle

Awwwww didn't want to reg the consoke on map start

! And well, this was made yesterday quickly. Anyway I forget to say thanks to Pelipoika for is usefull help.

PHP Code:


			
New Float:position_p[3];

Position_p[2] += 20;

GetEntPropVector(i, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigini", position_p);

//Arkarr: Doesn't work, beam still at foot

//Pelipoika:  ... You silly.

//Arkarr: ... 

//Arkarr: Sec please, gonna suicide and come back later with other genius questions...

Gonna update this night.

"m_vecOrigini" ?

Why not just use: http://docs.sourcemod.net/api/index....d=show&id=179&
Since you cant attach things to attachment points on the players with out it not being transmitted, it'd be alot of work arounds to get it to work.

Because it was quickly written and late done. In fact I plane to rescript it.

This gives me idea
There's a function called GetWeaponShootPos
1. Use it to get sniper rifle's bullet hole
2. make it shoot trace laser from there at the player's aim pos
Would look lovely imo

Machina shot effect for every sniper, basically ? Sounds fun !
Anyway, pretty sure you can do it with attributs.
