[shadowtails]

hello evyrybody i have problem witch DP crouch tutorial.When i crouch in decreesing wall wich is smaller then player and i release the courch button i stand through wall.How can i repair this bug?

This is the CHRIS crouch code:



//===================
//Chris
//Crouch for player '06
//===================

.float crouch, attemptcrouch;
float (entity targ) crouchcheck =
{

makevectors (self.v_angle);
tracebox (self.origin, VEC_HULL_MIN, VEC_HULL_MAX, self.origin + '0 0 16', FALSE, self);

/*
vector VEC_HULL_MIN = '-16 -16 -24';
vector VEC_HULL_MAX = '16 16 32';
*/


if (trace_fraction == 1) //hits nothing go ahead
return TRUE;

if (!trace_ent.takedamage) //hits world or nondamagable object
return FALSE;

return FALSE;

};

void() crouch_on =
{

if ((!self.crouch) && (!self.velocity_z)) //crouch down
{
setsize (self, '-16 -16 -8', '16 16 8');
self.crouch = 1;
self.view_ofs = '0 0 14';
self.attemptcrouch = 1;
return;
}
self.attemptcrouch = 0;
};

void() crouch_off =
{
if (self.crouch && (!self.velocity_z) && (crouchcheck(self))) //get up
{
setsize (self, VEC_HULL_MIN, VEC_HULL_MAX);
self.crouch = 0;
self.origin_z = self.origin_z + 16;
self.view_ofs = '0 0 22';
self.attemptcrouch = 0;
return;
}
self.attemptcrouch = 1;
};



Many thanks for help

When I tested it I noticed that monsters also completely ignore you when you're crouched.

When I tested it I noticed that monsters also completely ignore you when you're crouched.

Because it changes the view_ofs to '0 0 0', which usually signals you've entered intermission. You could change that line to 0 0 1 and it would look pretty much the same, but monsters would no longer ignore you.

No it lowers it to 0 0 14 view_ofs.

Quick fix:

open fight.qc

go to: float() CheckAttack

find:
spot2 = targ.origin + targ.view_ofs;

replace with:
if (!targ.crouch)
spot2 = targ.origin + targ.view_ofs;

if (targ.crouch)
spot2 = targ.origin;


Also due to Hull issues in different versions of bsp's that darkplaces supports (example: hl1 / q1 maps) it can't change the hull size effectively and causes sometimes to 'walk thru walls'. I wish I could edit this tutorial a bit more, it was just a snippet of code I had laying around from the hunted 3 that I never used. Sorry for the confusion. Hopefully that work around at least solved the issue of monsters seeing you, and good luck on your mod endeavors.

Send me any edits you want to make, or submit an alternate version of the tutorial and I swap out the old one with a new one.

i want to make Quake2 style crouching with increasing wall(do not stay through wall,staz crouch).
