How would this be accomplished, and still allow fov and resolution changes while functioning correctly in every configuration?

cursor_trace_endpos works perfectly with prydon cursor, but I'm using a csqc cursor, and the math to get this to work seems beyond my scope. I can hack it to work, but if ...

void(entity inflictor, entity attacker, float damage, entity ignore) T_RadiusDamage =
{
local float points;
local entity head;
local vector org;


head = findradius(inflictor.origin, damage+40); //makes head equal to the first entity in a radius based upon damage + 40 quake units around the ...

Yea, my guess is that is has something to do with all those T_RadiusDamage()s being called at the same time. T_RadiusDamage has a findradius inside of it, which is a kind of loop, and running that many at the same time would probably cause that kind of error. But that's just my guess.

i'm pretty impressed with the newer textures. the pants look REALLY tight though. my balls hurt.

This is what I had in mind, but you can use whatever works for you:

void(entity ent, float amount)Frag =
{
local entity oldleader;
local float tie;
oldleader = leader;
ent.frags = ent.frags + amount;

if(!deathmatch)
return;

head = nextent(world);
while(head)
{
if(head.flags ...

another exercise would be to make it check for ties, and then if so sprint to everyone who is tied for the lead instead of sprinting to leader and oldleader.

that would prevent anything being printed to the leader or oldleader if EITHER of them aren't clients, which is almost right for part of it.

The first thing you want to do is prevent leader from being set to anything that isn't a client in the loop above that, BUT the first time the function is ...

yes, or the non-string version:
but where would you put it?

also remember, using strings in loops can be very slow.

look more closely at this part of the function, noting that all entities are being looked at here, not just players.


head = nextent(world);
while(head)
{
if(head.frags > leader.frags)
leader = head;
head = nextent(head);
}


then this part, remembering that sprinting to a non ...

oldleader is a local entity created each time the function spawns, defaulting to world, then once set by "oldleader = leader" oldleader will be the current leader. the global entity, leader, defaults to world at the begenning of the game, and when the function is called and leader is world ...

correct, but since the if() leads to more than one line, don't forget the brackets.

now on to questions 2 and 3

it wouldn't crash in DP, but you would definatly get an error message. good point. I'll see if anyone else can spot this

you could also move the first two lines below the deathmatch check to make the code slightly more effecient.

redrum: is there any specific part of that code you'd like explained in more detail?

Seems to be working in DP.

...but with pespective 0 I can't seem to get entities to draw.

Ah, we're using different codebases, but that doesn't matter. Just replace those lines where .frags is added with Frag(ent, amount);

ent being attacker or attacker.owner, and frags being the amount of course.

I also just noticed you lose some frags in ClientKill(), so you might want to change the ...
