Including a header Created 8 years ago2016-05-22 11:12:55 UTC by EsprimoP

Started from mapping questions, now we're at coding topics 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.

You can't just include "player.h" (server side) on the client project. If it's about weapons, the thing you can do is transmit "pPlayer->m_flSndRoomtype" through the event. Otherwise you can use a HUD message.

Even more simplier, "env_sound" changes the "room_type" CVAR, so you can use "gEngfuncs.GetCvarFloat" (can't remember).

Thanks! Works nicely. Didn't even know there was a cvar for that.
Also I get it, they have to be in the same project dir. Totally didn't think about it.

Btw. It's
gEngfuncs.pfnGetCvarFloat
