you could use tokenize to find your first word or command, then strlen it to figure out where to begin your substring for the rest if necessary

even tokenizebyseperator might be useful depending on what you want to do

i did this sort of thing in feral flesh. also made their menus/quests scriptable. everything editable in-game.

my only complaint is that I can't delete files that i no longer wish to use unless i do it manually...

an alternative that i've been messing with is to load up your player model in QME and map the offset and angles of where the weapon would be for each frame straight into qc. tedious, but you don't have to animate your weapons. you'll also have to give the weapon an avelocity to interpolate it if you ...

Darkplaces... it works, but it seems like if I don't call it first thing in the ent's SendEntity function, then return before sending anything, it won't actually remove from the client until another shared ent is created.

as far as I know, in darkplaces models have to be precached on the server at least a few ticks before you use them in csqc. otherwise i've never needed to precache in csqc. not to say that won't change in the future...

does CSQC_Ent_Remove work correctly? seems like it only works sometimes...

well.. here's the working copy if anyone is interested. Thanks to KrimZon for help with combining angles. I don't understand why I had to subtract v_right, but that's the only way I could get it to work correctly.

void UpdateDamagePoint(entity wep) =
{
local vector ang, wep_pos, dmg_ang;

ang ...

ok, ignore that post above. here is the updated code for the weapon position ONLY:

pivot_ofs = '0 0 16';
pivotpoint = self.origin + pivot_ofs;
wep_targorg = wep.targorigin - pivot_ofs;
self_ang = self.angles;

ang = self_ang + vectoangles(wep_targorg);
ang_x = -ang_x;
makevectors(ang);
wep ...

I'm trying to locate the position of a weapon blade in the world based on a few angles and offsets.

I have:

self - (the player)
wep.targorigin - (the origin the weapon in the player's hand is moving toward)

wep is an attachment on the player, so it's origin is relative.
in order to find it's ...

i don't recommend using cl_prydoncursor in csqc menus. it's only purpose would be to show where the mouse is located, and it's movement is different than what csqc's getmousepos() returns. just drawpic a cursor image where it should be in csqc.

Good resolutions? I only have bad resolutions.

YAY! I finally got it to work. It was as simple as I thought it was supposed to be. This code works a LOT better (the first two lines are just there because a lot of the HUD stuff messes with the origin and angle settings, so I needed to make them match the camera)

R_SetView(VF_ANGLES, '0 -90 0 ...

Ok, I THINK the 90 degrees off thing is because I had this:

R_SetView(VF_ANGLES, '0 0 0');

before the previous code... but changing it to '0 -90 0' seems to mess things up even after getting rid of the x and y swap... guess I'll have to mess around with this more.

can someone explain the ins and outs of cs_project to me? I finally got cs_unproject to do what I want, though I don't fully understand it yet. It's been explained to me a couple different ways, and I'm sure I'm not using it totally correct. One odd thing about it is that the results end up as ...

Can you give a small example of how unproject is used. I can't seem to get any results that make any sense.
