MUzzleflash

[Stealth Kill]

Are there any Muzzleflash codes?
I had one for 3rd person view (chasecam) from the darplaces mod but i lost it

i need one for fps view to.




Add this to weapons.qc

Code: Select all

void() MuzzleFlash =
{
   local vector vec;
   local vector org;
   vec = normalize(vec);
   makevectors(self.angles);
   org = self.angles;
   muzzle = spawn();
   muzzle.movetype = MOVETYPE_NONE;
   setmodel(muzzle, "progs/s_muzzle.spr");
   makevectors(self.v_angle);
   muzzle.solid = SOLID_NOT;
   muzzle.effects = EF_MUZZLEFLASH;
   setsize(muzzle, VEC_ORIGIN, VEC_ORIGIN);
   if (self.weapon == IT_SUPER_SHOTGUN)
   {
      setorigin(muzzle, self.origin + v_forward * 20 + '0 0 20' + v_right);
   }
   else
   {
      if (self.weapon == IT_SUPER_NAILGUN)
      {
         setorigin(muzzle, self.origin + v_forward * 20 + '0 0 20' + v_right * CONTENT_WATER);
      }
      else
      {
         setorigin(muzzle, self.origin + v_forward * 20 + '0 0 20' + v_right);
      }
   }
   muzzle.nextthink = time + 0.04;
   muzzle.think = SUB_Remove;
};

I did not want to start a new thread if this one existed already.

I'm try to activate the muzzleflash for weapons, and I dug deep into the DP code, but to no avail. I cannot make the muzzleflash to work. Where could I find a tutorial about creating some muzzleflash effects, or how should I go about implementing it in DP?

I would appreciate any answer.

LE: By muzzleflash I mean a powerful flash of light in front of the weapon. I am clarifying this as I found some references to lighting the area when shooting. I would like a graphical sprite or whatever (I guess I can replace a .spr file with a transparent .png.

maybe look at the shell ejection code? it spawns something like a model (which should also be able to spawn sprites) then it falls or flys away or what ever. maybe alter that code to just project the sprite file then disappear.
