Noob Question!

[Nahuel]

Hello! I need to know how to achieve that a function (Solid bsp) be solid only for the player and the monsters. Bony that the tracelines, grenades and other bullets could cross it, but so that the monsters and the player could not cross it. Greetings!!!!!!

.float dimension_solid;
.float dimension_hit;

interactions only happen where (solid & hit). each 'dimension' is a bit value.

the hit field used is the one from the ent in the traceline. change it before/after the call if you need.
the solid field used in the trace is from the ent that was potentially collided against.
If they don't have at least 1 matching bit, they are in different dimensions, and the trace will pass straight through and ignore the other entity.

The defaults for these fields are set to 255 by presumably the spawn() builtin.


(so set the player's hit to 511 and set the barrier's solid to 256, and players will not be able to walk through the barrier, but everything else will)

Hi nahuel,

I've written a walkthrough of:
ACHIEVING 'DEAFNESS' VIA .DIMENSION_SEE AND BITWISE OPERATIONS.
It's for beginners like myself, so it's pretty basic, but you may find it useful.
