misc_model

[Scrama]

Just a part of RTNC code

Code: Select all

/*QUAKED misc_model (0 1 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8)
Just sprite or model.
*/

void() misc_static_model =
{
   if (!self.model)
   {
      remove (self);
      return;
   }
   precache_model (self.model);
   setmodel (self, self.model);
   makestatic(self);
}

void() model_think =
{
   if (self.frame == self.cnt) self.frame = self.health;
   else self.frame = self.frame + 1;
   self.nextthink = time + 0.1;
};
/*QUAKED misc_animated_model (0 1 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8)
Animated sprite or model.
*/
void() misc_animated_model =
{
   if (!self.model)
   {
      remove (self);
      return;
   }
      
   precache_model (self.model);
   setmodel (self, self.model);
   
   self.movetype = MOVETYPE_NOCLIP;
   self.solid = SOLID_NOT;
   self.health = self.frame;
   self.think = model_think;
   self.nextthink = time + 0.1;
};


I using clip for collision, it can be better fited to model size/shape

I finally did it. I added the SOLID declarations to the touch function. Easy as pie. The md3 model is now rock solid, I can stand on it and it blocks movement. Thanks for your help guys. Here is the function I'm using:

Code: Select all

void() object_touch =
{
   te_ElectricSparks(self.origin); // test
   self.solid = SOLID_BBOX;

   sprint(other, "This should be a model!\n");
};

void() misc_object =
{
   self.touch = object_touch;
   precache_model ("progs/barrel.md3");
   setmodel (self, "progs/barrel.md3");
   setsize (self, self.mins , self.maxs);
   
   setorigin (self, self.origin);

   StartItem ();
};

So far, the mod goes according to plan. This model was a big issue and it got me nailed down for a while. I also managed to implement a particle effect whenever I touch the object. That's why that sparks function is there.

Thus, it can be used to power up an electrical fence, and, upon touching, electrical sparks fly everywhere. Together with a hurt function, I might get something pretty solid.

I was also able to assign an explosion upon touching, and that's my first anti-personnel mine ever created.

i suggest taking a look at the light entities with a model, after that make sure its not static and go from there.

Its not static coz its animated.

Thanks again, guys. The problem has been solved, and it works just fine. I have a movie for you, it's in production as we speak. And it will have a separate thread. It's something BIG!

EDIT: Until the new project has some "meat" on, I give you my md3 misc_model stuff. Working as planned.

Why is
self.solid = SOLID_BBOX;
in the touch function and not in the spawn function?

Why is
self.solid = SOLID_BBOX;

Because it works in the touch function, and not in the spawn function. Don't know why. Could by DarkPlaces. Could be the version of Kleshik I'm using.

self.solid = FOO; should be followed by a setorigin or setmodel, otherwise your entity may still be non-solid as it'll not be in the clipping list.
But don't do setsorigin or setmodel inside a touch function! (unless you know they're using DP or FTE or sommit that has the crash bug fixed).

Thanks Spike! It's on my TODO list now!
