Suggestions & Requests / Damage falloff - damage on weapons decreases as projectile flies futher

« on: August 31, 2010, 03:17:37 PM »

Pretty much explained in the title, I was wondering if we could implement a script that could let people let their weapons function with its projectile's damage increasing as the collided victim gets closer and damage decreasing as the collided victim gets further

Modification Help / OnUnMount does not work on a certain script but works on others

« on: August 29, 2010, 07:25:11 PM »

I've been yelling at my computer for being a total piece of stuff for the last our because in a certain script, this loving image WONT loving RECOGNIZE ONUNMOUNT.
Does ANYONE know what I'm doing wrong!?
It worked before!

Suggestions & Requests / Event_OnMinigameTimeout

« on: August 29, 2010, 06:47:58 PM »

Basically an event that's triggered when the TDM timer goes off.
No, not OnMinigameReset
This is for if you wanted to for example cause Team 1 to win if the timer finishes.

Suggestions & Requests / TF2-esque Critical and Mini-Crit hits

« on: August 29, 2010, 05:26:41 PM »

The idea is to package the damage script, quote:

Code: [Select]

function ProjectileData::damage(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
   if(%this.directDamage <= 0)
      return;

   %damageType = $DamageType::Direct;
   if(%this.DirectDamageType)
      %damageType = %this.DirectDamageType;

   %scale = getWord(%obj.getScale(), 2);
   %directDamage = mClampF(%this.directDamage, -100, 100) * %scale;

   if(%col.getType() & $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType)
   {
      %col.damage(%obj, %pos, %directDamage, %damageType);
   }
   else
   {
      %col.damage(%obj, %pos, %directDamage, %damageType);
   }
}

Code: [Select]

function ProjectileData::radiusDamage(%this, %obj, %col, %distanceFactor, %pos, %damageAmt)
{
   //validate distance factor
   if(%distanceFactor <= 0)
      return;
   else if(%distanceFactor > 1)
      %distanceFactor = 1;

   %damageAmt *= %distanceFactor;

   if(%damageAmt)
   {
      //use default damage type if no damage type is given
      %damageType = $DamageType::Radius;
      if(%this.RadiusDamageType)
         %damageType = %this.RadiusDamageType;

      %col.damage(%obj, %pos, %damageAmt, %damageType);

      //burn the player?
      if(%this.explosion.playerBurnTime > 0)
      {
         if(%col.getType() & ($TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType | $TypeMasks::CorpseObjectType))
         {
            //check for vehicle protection from burning
            %doBurn = true;
            if(%col.isMounted())
            {
               %mountData = %col.getObjectMount().getDataBlock();
               if(%mountData.protectPassengersBurn)
                  %doBurn = false;
            }

            if(%doBurn)
               %col.burn(%this.explosion.playerBurnTime * %distanceFactor);
         }  
      }
   }
}

Shouldn't it be possible to multiply this damage by 1.35 (mini crit) and 3 (crit) respectively given that a certain variable exists to do so?
If I am not mistaken the script already has an example of damage multiplication in the form of multiplying damage by the size of the player. Can't we multiply damage given a certain variable exists?
But another question is whether to give that variable to the attacker, the projectile, or the victim. Perhaps all, but it should be given thought that critical hits do not stack in TF2, and Valve implemented that for a reason.
Also, what about the random crits that weapons seem to have? Is it possible to give weapons a random attribute that gives their projectiles a critical variable? To show it has this variable, is it possible to locate a projectile and cause it to produce an emitter?

Has anyone else found a glitch with the Team Deathmatch mod wherein when you spawn as a certain team member you have a very strange appearance; for example

Just a floating head
Head+Body+Arms?

Does anyone know what causes this?

Modification Help / Boodals needs help with his model, primarily collision/coloring

« on: August 28, 2010, 03:38:55 PM »

As some people might know, me and boodals are attempting to create an upgradeable and quality mod that is based on the Sentries from Team Fortress 2 using bots with custom models. So far we have stumbling about in the dark, as boodals, although capable of making rather interestingly well designed models, seems to be tripping over numerous bugs and glitches.

The bugs we have seen so far include the incapability of coloring the blank parts in the model, as it seems the 'grey' texture seems to dominate the whole model yet boodals swears that he gave the back part a blank texture.

The other main problems reside in the ever-annoying collision box that boodals was forced to implement as I crashed the first time he gave me the model, which at that point had no collision box as to speak of. The bugs that appeared after he added the collision box originally took form of being completely rendered at all times, and I think he made the node for that box as 'col'. He used the bot mod and did editappereance - hidenode - col
and the entire model disappeared

Now, I'm not sure what he did, but now a box of seemingly random texturing seems to disappear when you get close enough to the model ingame, but when you get far enough it just turns into a box.

If anyone here is willing to help, please, help us.

The link to the MS3D file of Boodal's work is here:

The 'Grey' texture can be found here:

And please, no stealing. We are trying very hard, and it would be very rude to steal our work. All of the model's work was done by boodals.

Modification Help / Is there any name for the function in which you drop the current inventory item?

Is there any name for the function in which you drop the current inventory item?
As in, for example, you wanted to package when you dropped a certain kind of item, and cause that to have something occur?

Modification Help / OnTrigger package won't do anything. At all.

Code: [Select]

package TF2MinigunAltFire
{
function Armor::onTriggerDown(%this,%obj,%slot,%val)
{
if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) $= TF2MinigunIdleImage.getID() && %slot $= 4 && %val)
{
%obj.TF2MinigunTriggerdown = 1;
%obj.setImageAmmo(0, 0);
schedule(500,0,TF2MinigunTriggerDown,%obj);
}
if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) $= TF2MinigunIdleImage.getID() && %slot $= 4 && %val $= 0)
{
%obj.TF2MinigunTriggerdown = 0;
%obj.setImageAmmo(0, 1);
}
if(%obj.getMountedImage(0) $= TF2MinigunImage.getID() && %slot $= 4 && %val)

};
activatePackage(TF2MinigunAltFire);

function TF2MinigunTriggerDown(%obj)
{
if(%TF2MinigunTriggerDown == 1)
{
%obj.setImageAmmo(0, 0);
schedule(500,0,TF2MinigunTriggerDown,%obj);
}
if(%TF2MinigunTriggerDown == 0)
{
%obj.setImageAmmo(0, 1);
}
}Yes, I know there was a better way to organize the different if statements, as they had very similar characteristics, but it's not what I am talking about. It's just that whatever I do, whatever I put in there, I am certain that this script simply does nothing. Is there something someone can please tell me that I am doing wrong?

Help / Add-On DemoPack - Sticky disappears in air

« on: August 22, 2010, 03:23:21 PM »

I've noticed that the sticky bomb model disappears while flying through the air. It seems that it has its own draw distance, and disappears when its far enough from the camera. For example, if I am zooming in while firing it, it doesn't disappear as much. Is this normal?

Suggestions & Requests / Event - SetAsSpawnPoint

« on: August 22, 2010, 03:17:17 PM »

Basically my idea is this.
There are many games in which certain teams change their spawning area to advance the gameplay.
We could use an event that could enable or disable bricks to become spawning areas for certain teams or anyone.
This could also be useful for special minigames as checkpoints for the whole minigame so noone is left behind.

It could be layed out like this.

Code: [Select]

OnActivate - Brick - SetAsSpawnPoint - None
                                                       All
                                                       Team1
                                                       Team2
                                                       Team3
                                                       Team4
                                                       Team5
                                                       Team6
If you set it to team 1, then set it to team 2, it will no longer spawn team 1.
If you set it to team None, then nobody will spawn from it.
This could also be used on default spawn and team spawn bricks to stop them from working normally.

Suggestions & Requests / TF2 Playertype Models

« on: August 22, 2010, 03:09:12 PM »

I thought it would be interesting to create actual playertype models for each of the TF2 classes. What actually brought up this idea was the fact that I found it virtually impossible to add appearances to players in team deathmatches that both represent TF2 classes clearly and actually STAY ON THEM.

I probably could figure out how to script them, so all I ask is if someone is capable of creating models such as these. They would of course have to be low poly and recognizable as blockhead-esque characters, but still resemble the TF2 characters we all know.

I would really appreciate it if Yndaa came to work on this, as he has made some pretty neat models in the past and has had experience with making BL playertype models.

Suggestions & Requests / Request: Model for Syringe gun and animated Demogun

« on: August 22, 2010, 03:00:53 PM »

I noticed that Space Guy refused to create a Syringe Gun, something that could easily be fixed with the proper modeling and scripting.
I'll volunteer for scripting the gun if someone is kind enough to make one for me.
I have also noticed it's lacking a reloading animation that may be useful. A simple reloading animation at that, just opening the front part off like in TF2.
I am pretty sure Space Guy removed reloading from the demogun for a reason, so Space, please don't hate on me for doing this.
