Coding a simple scientist Created 15 years ago2009-02-02 22:50:19 UTC by =NH= Yodalman

It probably wouldn't even be able to move if i actually got it working!

The error:

-------------------Configuration: hl - Win32 Profile-------------------

blaster.cpp
C:\Sierra\Half-Life\SDK\Single-Player Source\dlls\blaster.cpp(39) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

blaster.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Now, it's pretty obvious i didn't have the correct brackets here: [quote]{
public:

void Spawn( void );
int  Classify ( void );

void CLab :: spawn( void )[/quote]

But it i add the closing bracket there, this will happen.

C++ is case-sensitive.

It sure is.

You could check out botmans tutorials on the scientist from 99, i dont know how relevant they are in these days since i remember hearing about a SDK update, but i havent messed with the code yet so i cant really say so.

Linky: http://botman.planethalflife.gamespy.com/balfourroad/index.shtml

Thanks pengy, I'll test in a bit.

I'm rather new to this >_>

EDIT: Damn that coding tut, why didn't it tell me about ANYTHING being case sensitive

EDIT: got it, just copied some code from scientist, it compiled without error, and it linked without conflict.

My new code, i hope it works:
[quote]#include "extdll.h"
#include "util.h"
#include "cbase.h"
#include "monsters.h"
#include "talkmonster.h"
#include "schedule.h"
#include "defaultai.h"
#include "scripted.h"
#include "animation.h"
#include "soundent.h"

class CLab : public CBaseMonster
{
public:

void spawn( void );
void Precache( void );
static	TYPEDESCRIPTION m_SaveData[];

};

LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS( monster_scientist2, CLab );

void CLab :: spawn( void )
{
SET_MODEL(ENT(pev), "models/scientist.mdl");
UTIL_SetSize(pev, VEC_HUMAN_HULL_MIN, VEC_HUMAN_HULL_MAX);
pev->solid = SOLID_SLIDEBOX;
pev->movetype = MOVETYPE_STEP;
m_bloodColor = BLOOD_COLOR_RED;
pev->health = gSkillData.scientistHealth;
pev->view_ofs = Vector ( 0, 0, 50 );// position of the eyes relative to monster's origin.
m_flFieldOfView = VIEW_FIELD_WIDE; // NOTE: we need a wide field of view so scientists will notice player and say hello
m_MonsterState = MONSTERSTATE_NONE;
pev->skin = 0;
MonsterInit();
}

void CLab :: Precache( void )
{
PRECACHE_MODEL("models/scientist.mdl");
}[/quote]

By the way, the mod's name is interest mod x3

Looks solid, couldnt find any errors in it, good luck with your mod!

So, what special thing is your new scientist supposed to do? (I don't speak C# or C++ as of yet.)

Well, it doesn't do anything, it's the first code that i copied off of the scientist without having conflict while linking because they have the same code.

EDIT: In other words, It's just a model, you can't shoot it, kill it or enytheng, pretty much a test.

EDIT: Damn that coding tut, why didn't it tell me about ANYTHING being case sensitive tired -

Probably because that tutorial assumes you already know that. It's pretty standard stuff.

Don't worry, I didn't know those things either, 6 years ago.
