monster_dogs in QW?

[FrikaC]

It's returned as an error, not merely a warning in FrikQCC, because a prototype defines the variable as constant. Any constants not assigned a value at the end cause an error.

[redrum]

I'm confused. What should I do next?

[FrikaC]

Make sure visible() from the ai.qc in the original Quake exists in your code, not merely as a prototype.

[Orion]

Oh, great.
Now I've seen my modified ai.qc at the PasteBin, and there's no visible() and infront() in there!

redrum: Paste visible() and infront() from your original ai.qc after range() from my modified ai.qc.

Still crashing

Redrum, I'm sorry.. I've taken off anglemod(), visible() and infront from my modified ai.qc to use with my bots...
Just paste this at the very top of ai.qc:

Code: Select all

float(float v) anglemod =
{
   while (v >= 360)
      v = v - 360;
   while (v < 0)
      v = v + 360;
   return v;
};


And to avoid the walkmonster in wall at 'origin', change the setsize() line at monster_dog to this:

Code: Select all

setsize (self, '-16 -16 -24', '16 16 40');


This will make the dog to don't get stuck in the wall.

Use the zQuake Single Player Source!

Cujo is working great! Killing people at will!
One small problem. When Cujo telefrags a player it just says "you were telefragged by". How can I add "Cujo" to the end.

I tried this in ClientObituary:

Code: Select all

      if (attacker.classname == "teledeath" && (attacker.classname == "monster_dog"))   
      {
         bprint (PRINT_MEDIUM,targ.netname);
         bprint (PRINT_MEDIUM," was telefragged by ");
         bprint (PRINT_MEDIUM,attacker.owner.netname); ???
         bprint (PRINT_MEDIUM,"\n");
         return;
      }

Problem is Cujo doesn't have a .netname (I think this is the problem).
How can I get him one?

[Orion]

At monster_dog(), add this line at the very top:

Code: Select all

self.netname = "Cujo";


This will give it a name to be displayed on the obituary.

[redrum]

I actually figured that one out, got the same answer that you gave me!
Thanks.

so cujo has turned out to be quite the best eh?
