Alright, I'm back with a new question...
- I'm coding vehicles, and so far it's going good acceleration was coded and tested(working) in about 5 minutes, but as for deceleration, I'm at a standstill. When you let off the button, it should gradually slow down, and the problem I am having is that once ...

Nice. Thank you.

How would I go about creating a weapon slot system like in most modern fps games, where the player can only hold two weapons, and when he goes to pick up a new weapon, if he only has one, it just adds the new one to his inventory, and if he already has two weapons, then it swaps his current weapon ...

Could someone show me how to draw, and make a model follow the player using DP's movetype follow?

Baker, i never had the time to try the WinMerge thing with HLBSP.. :/
And, i know that coding 2D GFX is easier in the engine, i've already learned how to do it, but i wanted to give CSQC a shot and see what i could do with it.

Enough to where i can code a HUD, and an ingame GUI.

Has it been done? Can it be done?

I'm working on something that spawns a model on the player, and i was wondering if there is a way to make it so that the player cannot see it, but other players can? I'm NOT using DP by the way.

Like a muzzleflash?

there's alot of unnecessary duplicate code there.
Yeah, the best way to do it would be to have all of the stats that will be the same set in putclientinserver, then you add a check to putclientinserver for the player's class, if the player is a certain class, then it sets the stats that are ...

Well, PutClientInServer is called by the engine...so for different classes, you would have to have a check in PutClientInServer.
Something like this:
void() PutClientInServer =
{
if(self.pclass == CLASS1)
PutClass1PlayerInServer();
else if(self.pclass == CLASS2)
PutClass2PlayerInServer();
};

1. Positive values of pitch indicate looking downwards. Negative values are for looking up.

2. In default engines, -70 is the highest you can look upwards.

3. With 8-bit angles, the angle is sent over the network to the nearest multiple of 1.4 degrees, so add a margin of error of 1-2 degrees to ...

No luck, I even checked to see if it was > 0 but even that didnt work.

check self.v_angle_z or something.
of course, it'll never be directly upwards, because you can't aim directly upwards in quake - you can normally only aim within 150 degrees.
and even in engines with such cheats enabled, there is always network precision issues, so really the best you can do is ...

How can i tell it the player is aiming straight up?
I've already tried this: But, sadly it didn't work.

Is there another way to check if the player is aiming up?

Thanks.
