Does anybody have an idea for a nice ring like effect? I wanted to use the TE BeamRingPoint with SDKHooks but the fucking thing can't have a lifetime below 0.1 so I still can't do a fluent ring that just follows a player :/ Here's my test code #pragma semicolon 1
#include "W3SIncs/War3Source_Interface"
#include <sdkhooks>
new thisRaceID;
public OnWar3PluginReady(){
thisRaceID=War3_CreateNewRace("Developer","develop");
War3_CreateRaceEnd(thisRaceID); ///DO NOT FORGET THE END!!!
}
// Effects
new BeamSprite,HaloSprite;
public OnMapStart()
{
BeamSprite=PrecacheModel("materials/sprites/lgtning.vmt");
HaloSprite=PrecacheModel("materials/sprites/halo01.vmt");
}
public OnWar3EventSpawn(client)
{
SDKHook(client, SDKHook_PostThink, Effekt);
}
public OnWar3EventDeath(victim,attacker)
{
SDKUnhook(victim, SDKHook_PostThink, Effekt);
}
public Effekt(client)
{
new Float:effect_vec[3];
GetClientAbsOrigin(client,effect_vec);
effect_vec[2]+=15.0;
// stock TE_SetupBeamRingPoint(const Float:center[3], Float:Start_Radius, Float:End_Radius, ModelIndex, HaloIndex, StartFrame,
//FrameRate, Float:Life, Float:Width, Float:Amplitude, const Color[4], Speed, Flags)
TE_SetupBeamRingPoint(effect_vec,45.0,44.0,BeamSprite,HaloSprite,0,300,0.1,5.0,0.0,{0,255,0,255},10,0);
TE_SendToAll();
} It's fucking pissing me off since I just wrote a 600 line race and the only thing missing is a effect :| |

just do a 0.1 effect and loop it every 0.1 seconds?

Looks like shit as it "follows" the player with a short delay. If you walk backwards the ring is always in front of you and it's just messy messy messy. I don't want to make a custom particle and force players to download that, but I'm really out of ideas what I could do right now. It bugs the shit outta me that you can't parent this thing :X

nope u cant really make a ring follow a person. its unfortunate the engine doesn't do well with effects

sry late : you could use env_SmokeStack and parent it so a player : example: public Action:AttachBeam(const client{
new particle = CreateEntityByName("env_smokestack");
if(IsValidEdict(particle) && IsClientInGame(client))
{
decl String:Name[32], Float:fPos[3];
Format(Name, sizeof(Name), "RingAttach-%i", client);
GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", fPos);
fPos[2] += 28.0;
new Float:fAng[3] = {0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
// Set Key Values
DispatchKeyValueVector(particle, "Origin", fPos);
DispatchKeyValueVector(particle, "Angles", fAng);
DispatchKeyValueFloat(particle, "BaseSpread", 58.0);
DispatchKeyValueFloat(particle, "StartSize", 40.0);
DispatchKeyValueFloat(particle, "EndSize", 20.0);
DispatchKeyValueFloat(particle, "Twist", 20.0);
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "Name", Name);
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "SmokeMaterial", "particle/fire.vmt");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "RenderColor", "100 100 220");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "SpreadSpeed", "10");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "RenderAmt", "200");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "JetLength", "10");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "RenderMode", "0");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "Initial", "0");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "Speed", "100");
DispatchKeyValue(particle, "Rate", "2500");
DispatchSpawn(particle);
// Set Entity Inputs
SetVariantString("!activator");
AcceptEntityInput(particle, "SetParent", client, particle, 0);
AcceptEntityInput(particle, "TurnOn");
CreateTimer(15.0, RemoveParticle, particle);
}
else
{
LogError("Failed to create env_smokestack!");
}
}
public Action:RemoveParticle(Handle:timer, any:particle)
{
if(IsValidEdict(particle)
{
AcceptEntityInput(particle, "Kill");
}
}

well, the pain in the ass, non-elegant solution?
make custom weapon replacing knife for that race. same stats, but have a dif. w_model, with the ring on it.
not a perfect sol'n, but...yeah

Yeah, because replacing w_models with sourcemod works so well. I code most of my races to work for TF2 and CS:S, so this would be a terrible solution. I like the env_smokestack idea, that's pretty clever. Might look into that sometime. Also the original method I proposed is really only shitty if you focus on how it looks when you're alone. In a proper game it looks okay and is a very nice way to alert people of what aura somebody has. |

yes, the aura effect is a pretty awesome idea. btw you need to be carefully when parenting env_smokestack to a player, the angles of the entity are also parented

You realize he is a spam bot, right? They copy the exact post someone else says and then post it. Look at their signature. |

Can you make something follow a player on the ground? Or even create a animation with the engine? |

can you be more specific? what do you mean with "something"(effect/prop....?)
you can also "force" a player to replay a animation by using some sort of a tempent but if you want to do this with entities you probably need to use CEntity or get some SigScanning skills
