Player spotting device (item)

[tber123]

okay ill try it as a paint can.

Is the item model a paintcan, or does the paintcan keybind do the spotting(no item required)?

So far i can safely say that it semi works, you have to equip the item to spot but you can spot pressing e.
I have the text for the spotting
i need to figure out how to get the icon above the enemies head
and i need to figure out how to make the player play the Voice overs from his position

I thought this would work but it just plays the sounds from the enemy player's position

Code: [Select]

if(%client.slyrTeam.name !$= %enemyPlayer.client.slyrTeam.name)
{
commandToClient(%client,'bottomPrint',"<color:0aa000><just:left><font:Arial:20>\c6" @ %obj.toolAmmo[%obj.currTool] @ " *radio* " @ "Enemy Soldier Marked! " @ "", 4, 2, 3, 4);
serverPlay3D(Spot @ getRandom(1,5),%obj.getPosition());
// Mark goes above %enemyPlayer's datablock.
}

I meant keybind.

why the hell do we want this to be some dumb alternate weapon you have to switch over to?
in literally every single game on the planet with a spotting mechanic, you just press a key and it spots


here's what we actually need - overriding E key functionality to spot, no stupid spraycans or hand weapons

Well in order to do that wouldn't you have to put the spotting code in every weapon/item .CS file that you use? or

maybe make a player type that utilizes this?

[Dannu]

No.

Package UsePaintCan, check if minigame is enabled, if it's slayer minigame, maybe if painting is enabled, if checks are passed then do this and return.

Erm excuse me. I already created the key bind in my original post. I just told you to insert the spotting code at the comment.

Maybe someone more experienced should make this?  -_-

[Honorabl3]

Stoppppp, I gave you the code with the keybind already finished. Use this.

Code: [Select]

package spottingMod
{
function serverCmdActivateStuff(%client) // This overwrites using E for activating blocks in game. Clicking should still work fine.
{
%player = %client.player;
%start = %player.getEyePoint();
%end = vectorAdd(%start, vectorScale(%player.getEyeVector(), 12));
%mask = $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType;
%result = ContainerRayCast(%start, %end, %mask, %player);
%enemyPlayer = getWord(%result, 0);
if(isObject(%enemyPlayer))
{
if(%client.slyrTeam.name !$= %enemyPlayer.client.slyrTeam.name)
{
// player messages other players
// Mark goes above %enemyPlayer's datablock.
}
}
}
};
activatePackage(spottingMod);

Admittedly I agree with this.

[Slab Bulkhead]

make sure the spots are only visible to your team, and not the team of the person you spotted.

[Ctrooper]

I have the item and the sounds, i also managed to get it to semi work, but yes someone more experienced should code this.

Not really possible without your team needing a client sided mod.

[Ctrooper]

whats the progress? anyone able to figure out how to make this fully work?

If there's any way I can help (Other than modeling), then tell me.
