Oh, I finally did the desperate movement of "coding" a full new monster based on barney, it used the player model modified with only 5 or 6 animations, the ones needed for the map, and they work and look fine

Ok. I´ll give it a try.
I have finally discarded the "attak-my-foe" part because it could be overkill for the AI calculations, and probably it will cause trouble with NULL pointers and all that stuff, remember that I am not a coder by any means, I struggled with that problem when in the first version of the modified bot#10 I´ve done If a monster was killed it resulted in continuous game crashes.
The "follow" option will work If I can make the bot detect if the proper command is executed...
so I must add that new command... 
I remember to have read a tutorial in Thewavelenght about adding new commands :rly:
Thanks!

You're 100% right. So even before this situarion will happen I auto-cease-and-desist.
Personally, I must say that WB did not send me a c&d letter, for this, I must say that they are acting very gentle with me. The problem is me and all the threads in forums about lawsuits chasing mods and their creators. If we consider how bad Matrix path of Neo and Enter the Matrix games were selled, and how bad are the critics about Matrix Revolutions, I think my mod did not any harm. More than that, It revives the interest of the Matrix fans about the Matrix games, at least is what I can guess for the commentaries about the mod and the requests for a sooner release. :/ I repeat, I will give them all the material if requested, I don't care, the (c) of all the contents is theirs, except the material created from zero (the corp's descripción, the background story, the name of the hardware, and a few other things), only I wish they will release the game (the things left undone are just a matter of one month of work), buying a goldsource license and making very few changes to it (contract Solokiller, for all god's sake, he have already done almost all work for free).
Wishful Thinking Mode:ON
I don't want to be misunderstood, I love the Matrix trilogy, I consider all of the three movies a classic of SciFi, I have all of them and its merchandising, the games, OST... If I could I will tell WB about this!. So this game covers the most claimed scene of the third movie, of wich many fans talk and make content about (the APU overall).

Hello!, here I am curling the curl again. Goofing with bot's code I start Thinking about how can I do so them, or a npc detects what the player's is doing or what Is its status; for example: I managed to make a npc detects how much ammo, or health, a player has, but, how can I make a npc knows if a certain command was executed (commands that can be executed vÃa console), and much more "curled" is how can I, once that command is detected, make the npc attacks what the player is attacking or to approach to the player's position, or to attack that player who has executed the command?
Thanks people. It will be finished, in fact, I still make questions about finishing it, the last I did was about the bots here At Twhl. In case I recive a c&d letter, which It never happen in the last 10 years, I will give all material to them and let'em decide what to do with it. This mod is a tribute, you know.

Hi you all. Maybe this will disappoint or makes someone sad, but it's a decission that I have meditated for almost a month, overall after seeing what happened to other mod developers. I did read information about copyright matters...

https://m.slashdot.org/story/15346
Among others, and decided that the risks do not worth the pleasure I found creating this mod. So I decided to cancel its forthcoming and future public release and keep it as a private project.
I must left clear that I was not foxed not threatened by anyone, WB did not sent me a cease-and-desist letter, so I am not in the edge of the razor, but according to laws in USA I could find myself in trouble if they twist the things.
I am sure I did no harm to anyone with this Mod, but even though I feel the need to make it disappear from public's sight. I did it today, so I am almost sure that very few material will be available. The v1.0 is no longer on servers afaik.
Sorry if someone wanted to play it. As a personal project I will continue with its last stages of development, so I'll keep asking things here at Twhl.
See you!

Aaaand, no, it creates some errors saying undeclared stuff, etc. BUT I precached them in client.cpp and all worked ok after some changes in bot.cpp and bot_combat.cpp, major changes related to the fact that sounds are only made as taunts when another player enemy is at a certain distance or it is dead. You know, trial-error forever!, haha Thanks anyway for your help!

Ok. I will try to precache those sounds in world.cpp. I'll tell you what happen
Ok.
WORKS GREAT. Thanks!!!
I swear I did not want to rhyme.
Well my question is about the taunts of the npc barney and the sounds that this npc makes in certain situations. More precisely, I have one doubt. I have discovered that the Bots in my mod are able to "speak" certain sentences in certain situations, but I don´t see anywere where those sounds are precached, the only related code is related to the TAUNT sounds that barney can play, so this is saying to me that if I want to play those sounds I have to have the barney´s code precaching all those sounds?. Then if I am not using the barney.cpp code anymore, I mean, deleted from the source, where should I precache those sounds again?, there are several bot source files, like Bot.h, Bot.cpp and Bot_combat.cpp, so I am not sure on where to put the (if needed) code. :/ It is not that I did not want to try it, because I did add the code that plays those sounds where it originally was (bot_combat.cpp) nand all compiled fine , is more that I want to be sure about where should I put the precache part for those sounds based on your experience without the need of trial-error sessions. Thanks in anticipation.
EDIT: tested and the bots don´t emit sounds...and all the sounds are in the proper place/folder

Wow!, didn't though it could be done that way, THANKS!!, One thing less to finish the mod!
Goldsource, of course!. I will try what you say
Hello again. I tried to make a func_tankrocket that, at a certain moment, fires to a monster generic. I setted up everything as in the TWHL tutorial except the func_tankcontrols because the tankrocket is automatic and controlled by a trigger auto. Well, the fact is that it does not work. Is there a proper way to ser up this entity to make it work the way I want? (Full explanation please!)
Well. The code finally works!, well, being 100% accurate, the solution works, but what I was not able to do is making the smoke come from the weapon ( I am sure doing something wrong with GetGunPosition() ).
When I tried to offset the smoke in the X axis (vecSrc.x) the smoke appeared far away in front of the player. The y and z vectors seem to do little for the smoke placement, maybe the y Axis is moved a little if I substract 21 to it.
The code that I am using is this, it works, and seems to show the smoke coming from the ammo feeding system, wich is good, but it is not what I wanted.
Well, i hope this will be useful to someone!.
BTW: and VERY IMPORTANT!!, if you don´t use the #ifndef CLIENT_DLL part, the game WILL crash!!.

Owe you another one.
Owe you another one.
Right, it does that way...Nevermind, I did code a new monster clone of the barney monster and now all is working fine with scripted sequences. Thanks!!
Ok. Give me a little time to pack al stuff and I will pm you with the link to the files.
Mmmm, I don´t know 100%; the code of the weapon is exactly as the code you have (the source previous to the reload call and the overheat code), but if you want I can send to you the link to the new source and the Mod as it is actually.
Hi!!, tried, but MSG_ALL does not work, but what is more extrange is that the code is not executed, I put...
Tried also MSG_PVS (don´t know much what it does, but the FEMP weapon has it in the part of the code that draws the shockwaves).
I have also put the code into the original part which´s controlling the m_iHeat part, this way:
?) , but it does not work either.
I don´t know what is happening. The code is more or less the same as in the FEMP countermeasure, and there the effect is shown flawlessly. I am sure that someting I did is not right, but blow me if I know where I screwed it this time...
ALERT( at_console, "Smoke!!!\n" );...inside the function, but the message does not show in the console neither in the log of the mod.

Sorry for the double post, I have trouble writing with my fat finger on this tiny screen.
I do believe monster_generics can still walk to scripted_sequences, so try that maybe?So if I put a monster_generic on point A so it target point B and make so a multi_manager tell the monster play the walk animation it will go from point A to B?.
Sorry, I don't know why I wrote that. Thought I'd read 'bout that somewher but I am almost sure now that this entity does not exist, sorry for the mistake.
Mmm, should try it. And, monster_player?, will it work?
Ok, now I am not at home (I am using a smartphone to write), but I will post the whole code. The other problem is extrange because the smokes won't dissapear on normal gameplay with a hundred sentinels flying around, explosions and tracers coming from 31 bots and me
And I have also removed things like lights and other entities like the scripted sequences, explosion and shake effects, to reduce the entity count...
Haha, again at home
Here´s where I initialized the sprite:

}
My questios is simple. Could I use path tracks to make a monster_generic follow a patrolling route?, I tried and it does not work (I used the In the Beggining tutorials to make sure I did not forget anything), but those tuts are related to npcs not the generic monster entity so that´s why I make that question, did you successfully used generic monsters to follow a patrolling route?.
Tried again!, and... still no luck...

What´s more incredible is that today also I found myself again in trouble with the map of the menu background, if I add cyclers, monster_generic in a certain number (sometimes 5, sometimes only 2) some effects dissapear...

Nevermind, I tried
1st. 1 error because GetGunPosition was not declared
2nd. Added basemonster.h in the includes
3rd. 1 error sayng that it is still not declared...
4th. Tried to declare it as vector vecSrc = m->pPlayer GetGunPosition(more or less) copied from the very weapon´s cpp.
5th. 1 error saying it cannot convert from float to vector.
6th. Smashed my head on the keyboard, realized my limitations and quited to continue with the last touch-ups.

Any ideas?. If I put it on the main conditional of the overheat code (thanks Solokiller and Shepard wink-wink -I know that overheat code is (c) Shepard, but I consider that Overheat is together with the "reload call" (c) Solokiller a whole which made this mod as it is now, so I always thank them every time I can.
Hi all of you. I am trying to add the effect of a gun that smokes when overheated. The code compiles fine, the weapon on which I have added the code works fine, but the effect won´t show. What I have done is:
1st. Include explode.h into the weapon´s includes.
2nd. In the Primary and Secondary fire function I added...

Any ideas?. If I put it on the main conditional of the overheat code (thanks Solokiller and Shepard ) the game crashes.
I remember of it have worked in the first attempts I did on 2007 or 2008, but the smoke covered the player, it does not exit from the gun.
Then I discarded the code because the effect was shown when the ammo was less of 100 instead of happening when a certain number of degrees celsius overheated the weapon.
Pity I do not remember what I did to make this code work, 10 years are a lot to remember something like that...
Nowadays, if I try to put it on the primary or secondary fire function outside the conditional of above, the game crashes or freezes (remember, abbadon coding skills = 0.5 ). XD

He doesn't use a grid (those grey lines in the 2D views) in QuArK, and probably doesn't even use the snap-to-grid function, to align things. He uses a ruler and the info_player_start to get the lengths/dimensions of what he's making.Exactly!!, I use it as a 4 meter high, 2,5-3 meter wide character (the APU).
Using it as a start, I create several brusesh that measured x meters so if 5 APUS are 15 meters wide, then I make a very basic calculations to make "rulers" that go from 1 to 100 meters. The most used are the 5, 10 and 20 meter rulers. Then I did some other calculations for the dome which I don´t remember now, but those calcs have to do with archs, circumferences, radius and stuff like that. Then I calculate the height of the whole level using the bridges as a ruler once I adjusted their size to make them able to accomodate a row of 50 or 60 APUs more or less.
Basically what I did is use a homemade ruler based on the size of the APU, and from there I did build all the rest of models, props, etc.
Rustic, but it works fine for me.
BTW, I discovered the snap-to-grid feature last year!! I di all grid adjustments zooming to the max the viewports and using then the mouse, quite noobish!!! XDI'm just weird... So weird...
