in make barney hostile Post #330696
Urby has a point, you can create a flag for your fgd in HLSDK that is checked whether It's enabled or not so if It's enabled (For instance: Hostile Barney) in flags window that barney will be hostile, else he's friendly. Integers that define hostility are easily understood.

in Additive crosshairs? Post #330695
@Shepard62700FR (A lil spoiler but oh well)

I see, it just gets the type from the spr file.

@Half-Rats

Wouldn't that make the crosshairs not colorful? And yes as I mentioned in the first post the image file was 8-bit.
Is making colorful crosshair sprites additive even possible? AKA does the engine make all additive sprites glow in set color? (For instance, orange for health, armor, etc.)

What other sprites? In valve, original half life, crosshairs are Alphatest. I want mine to be Additive.

in Additive crosshairs? Post #330686
I made my custom crosshairs sprite. Every pixel except the crosshairs is black so it would be invisible and the crosshairs will be transparent. I'm using Sprite Explorer, I save the bmp as 8-bit depth and save the sprite as Additive, I configure it for each weapon in sprites/<weapon>.txt
In game every crosshair sprite is correctly displayed for every weapon except that they are not additive. The should be transparent with black invisible, they are normal. Nothing invisible, nothing transparent. Can this be done in a code maybe or is there another way outside coding?

Simple question. How do you open the "Displacements Tab" in Jackhammer? In tutorials you open the tab through Texture Application Tab. I don't see it. Even don't see it in VHE.

in Including a header Post #330196
Started from mapping questions, now we're at coding topics :D Half Life modding is indeed very addictive and fun. But less knowledge ruins it a little.

Anyway

In ev_hldm.cpp I wanted to check the room type, configured by the env_sound entity by using if(pPlayer->m_flSndRoomtype == <number>) { ... }. It can be found and called in player.h which calls the main function in sound.cpp, though there is no header for sound (sound.h). Then I included player.h in ev_hldm.cpp. When compiling, it gives errors in player.h. There are 170+ errors. I see that most cpp's have included player.h . I really can't explain further... any solution? If there is explain it to me please.

I don't know if you put break; on purpose but It shouldn't be placed anywhere except do, while, for and switch.
Okay, I got the laser working, but at random time it shoots two lasers simultaneously and doesn't do any damage to the target?

Lots of custom weapon models have new sound file names. (For example: "awp_fire-1" instead of "awp1"). But I wonder, how do they do it? How do they add/edit sound file names for every animation of the weapon model?

in Can someone write/give me a gauss event? Post #330030
@Shepard Heh if the variables and function calls were a little more descriptive, I could've found it instantly. I did try something like VectorMA( tr.endpos, 8.0, forward, vecSrc );, End Position maybe? It didn't do anything.

@Spanner Yes It's a single shot weapon just like primary gauss. I DID put a secondary fire but using secondary ammunition. It's the same as the primary fire, single shot.

The only difference is different type of ammo and laser color.

Made the laser, but it points at the center of the map wherever I aim at. Is there no API or anything? Right now I'm totally confused because the gauss in unique and has lots of abilities in one event function.

in Can someone write/give me a gauss event? Post #330020
I'm making a new laser gun. I made every part of the weapon except the laser.. it shoots bullets currently. gauss.cpp firing function is too confusing. It first checks whether the player clicked left mouse button or right mouse button, then the spin event. Is there already a code with that maybe? Or do you know the main function that plays a sprite like a line(laser) from the gun?

in Trigger when you recoil from a trigger b Post #329950
I don't know if I'm crazy or I really saw an option somewhere in a trigger_* entity or something where you enter a targetname, it gets triggered when you recoil from the trigger? Is this even possible? For example, when you enter a trigger (touch it), a light gets turned on, when you recoil it turns off. I'm pretty sure I noticed something like that on this site when I was learning more about some entities...

It was actually because of env_sound. When you get close to a tunnel-like env_sound it makes the sounds do that. It's kind of similar to Xash3D engine. But considering making the sound 16-bit.

in Adding new HUD sprite for new weapon Post #329506
Couldn't make it in weapons.h but I did actually change the new weapon's position to 1, and returned crowbar to default. So now It actually works, but the sprite is not set. I made 2 sprites for the new weapon (When selected and not), made weapon_classname.txt in sprites folder. I copied it from weapon_crowbar.txt and changed it. I still don't know what those numbers means.

4
weapon 320 320hud1 0 0 80 20
weapon_s 320 320hud1 0 20 80 20
weapon 640 640mpipe1 0 0 170 45
weapon_s 640 640mpipe2 0 0 170 45

What does all of this mean?

After starting a map, it crashes with an error GL_Upload16: s&3 and R6025
-pure virtual function call
.

I first compiled hl.dll before adding the sprite and the weapon worked well, I could select it. This error appears after adding the sprite.

in Adding new HUD sprite for new weapon Post #329481
I created a new weapon in HLSDK and it works just fine, animations, precaches, classname, etc. But I after picking up another weapon I can't switch to it, there's no sprite. I can't find any part of the code in HLSDK where weapon HUD sprites are present. I created the new weapon through this tutorial http://twhl.info/articulator.php?art=31. It is not very accurate but I fixed some issues and made it work. Now, I made a nice sprite in Sprite Explorer for the weapon. But how do I add it? In the sources and headers for existing weapons there are no hud sprite parts.

Ugh.. sorry I'm so confused, I don't know what else to type, tell me what do you think I just said (What you understood).

0.1 makes it too bright for dark areas (Not pitch black areas lol, but there is some light) also there are rooms with different brightness. If only I could set a specific face texture's light level. I don't know how others do that, they don't use light origin target nor min. light level

Yeah, It's a pretty neat way. But now because I had to make the door look better by punching holes/elevations in it. Then the inner parts of the door is dark. I tried the Light Origin Target thing, put an info_null under the door where the visible face is when it opens, then It actually darkens the bottom part of the door instead of lighting it.
