When I figured out those traceline rules I was making my own portal gun. Shoot the gun at a wall and it would try to find a point on the other side of a wall to make a portal. If it found the other side and concluded there was enough space for a player, it would spawn a portal on each side. You ...

Static_Fiend: Very cool!

Also note that if you start a traceline inside an entity that isn't the ignore ent (passent), then the traceline will automatically ignore all non-bsp entities. If you start inside a wall, I believe I remember the traceline ignoring everything including other walls.

So avoid starting a traceline ...

So the only way to select dual wielding is to use the mousewheel to cycle through all the weapons then the dual-wield configurations? That sounds cumbersome to me. Can't you just press 3 and 4 at the same time or something?

Erm... no, I just never select my dual-wield weapons that way in the pc ...

In Turok on the XBox360, PS3, and PC (currently $7.35 on Amazon ), the player can dual-wield weapons. This turns out to be a damned cool feature, and I'm thinking about how to do it properly in Quake. I'd also like to implement the rest of the weapon system.

In the single player, you always have ...

> 1. To what extent do you like to watch others play games?

On occasion. Sometimes watching people play a game can sometimes be very frustrating for me, especially if they're not very good or they are very slow/etc. However, watching a skilled player tear it up, or watching a friend explore a ...

4) in the last step of the special animation, set .mad_with= .enemy, and the next animation step back to the first run animation step.

Actually, I recommend doing this in the first animation step. If you do it in the last animation step, then beating the monster is easy. Just keep shooting it ...

In my dreams, things chase me and I die.

BTW, that site blocks direct linking to images, so go to http://world.guns.ru/assault/ and manually scroll to aug_a3-2.jpg. It's a fine looking weapon.

Yes, knowing the scale of work and the amount paid will make or break the deal for a lot of people.

That's cool that you're willing to pay to have it made. If the money is worth it to a programmer who's able to do the work, then that's great!

You mean like making the player's touch function handle touching ammo, health, triggers, grenades, spikes, lava balls, push triggers, etc?

Because then it's a major mess. Decentralizing it helps keep code clean and manageable.

Here's the thing: When I add a new object type to the game, I can ...

Oh, ok... now I get it.
Well, whether any of the ID maps uses this for weapons or not, I can see this being useful in similar situations as item_sigil is used... or maybe for traps and what not. Another idea would be to let the player know they just upgraded a weapon to the next level?

Typically ...

The target system in quake is basically a way to activate other objects in the level. As said above, target pairs with a targetname to tell objects "you have something to do with each other".

Some examples:
*Doors open/close when activated by a button or trigger
*Monsters get angry at the player ...

Steering behaviors would be cool in Quake.

1. Monsters that only move when you are not looking at them (think of the possibilities). Provided QuakeC can do this. I know QuakeC can do line of sight but not sure if the "behind you" 180 degrees can be ignored from the calc.

Easily done. Just reverse one of the directions and narrow the dot ...
