Sprite Problem Created 16 years ago2008-04-28 09:57:11 UTC by Striker

Hi ! I think I've got a problem . I'm trying to add sprites ( and env_glow) in my map and it seems it doesn't "want" to work . I checked the "start on " flag . Nothing . I tried with the "trigger_auto" and it really doesn't work. I must specify that I'm mapping for Sven Co-Op .
Can this be a Sven Co-Op bug ? Did I do something wrong ?

What do you mean it doesn't work? Do you get any error, does it show up at all? Elaborate.

It doesn't give me an error . It simply doesn't show up .

Never used Sven-co-op, anyway, I would insert a sprite like this:

Insert a env_sprite, in its settings set up the path to your sprite, set "Render Mode" to Additive, make sure "FX Amount" is 255.

If that doesn't work, post the map in the Problem Maps section of the map vault.

Thank you very much . Actually I should have thought twice before posting because I encounter this error almost all the time . My default FX amount is 0. How can I change this ? I think it's the FGD's problem .

open up the svencoop fgd in notepad, and press ctrl-F and type in 'FX' or 'env_sprite' And change the defauly to 90 or whatever.

Not that easy, env_sprite uses the baseclass RenderFields.

This could work:
Note that The Sven Coop FGD might look different.

Replace [quote]@PointClass sprite() base(Targetname, RenderFields, Angles) size(-4 -4 -4, 4 4 4) = env_sprite : "Sprite Effect"

ah I see.. sorry then.. never had an fgd opened in front of me, at school.

The changes I made in the code I wrote:

@PointClass sprite() base(Targetname, RenderFields, Angles) size(-4 -4 -4, 4 4 4) = env_sprite : "Sprite Effect"

became

@PointClass sprite() base(Targetname, RenderFxChoices, Angles) size(-4 -4 -4, 4 4 4) = env_sprite : "Sprite Effect"

and

2: "Play Once" : 0
]
]

became

2: "Play Once" : 0
]
rendermode(choices) : "Render Mode" : 0 =
[
0: "Normal"
1: "Color"
2: "Texture"
3: "Glow"
4: "Solid"
5: "Additive"
]
renderamt(integer) : "FX Amount (1 - 255)" : "0"
rendercolor(color255) : "FX Color (R G B)" : "0 0 0"
]

I haven't tested it.

Then it's really easier to find it out myself . No big deal ...

You do know that an fx amount of 0 means totally invisible and 255 is fully visible.
