Weapon Strip (HUD question) Created 6 years ago2018-10-24 09:20:33 UTC by PeterBrev

Yo,

Straight to the point - when the player_weaponstrip strips your weapon away, a (small) issue that occurs is that the ammo hud does not disappear. How would you go to fix this?

Peter

I'm guessing it could be fixed in code - are you just making a map or making your own mod?

It's a mod. We're using regular GoldSrc I have been searching for a solution to this bug for so many years and I just can't figure out what to look for. I know Spirit and the PS2 version of Half-Life have this fixed, but there are so many things I just don't like with Spirit (or maybe I'm just not looking at it right). We're using regular GoldSrc using the SDK on Github. Seeing as Spirit has it fixed, I really want to know what to look for so that it's an easy copy paste or something that I can ask a programmer to look for and fix.

i think after stripping give player a crowbar. then strip again. i think this may solve the problem. only if this can be made using hammer editor.

This is a cheap trick that only works in certain situations, which I'm not interested in. What I'm looking for is code fix.

Strip the suit like SoHL does.

,So how does that work?

And just so we're clear, I'm not taking "Use SoHL" or "Deal with it" as answers.

So what am I supposed to look for in the code of SoHL 1.8 that got this fixed? I don't want to have the entire suit stripped like SoHL 1.9 is doing. Makes no sense because if I wanted to strip the suit, it's just a matter of changing pPlayer->RemoveAllItems( FALSE ); to true, which is not what I'm asking.

In this if check: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/blob/5d761709a31ce1e71488f2668321de05f791b405/cl_dll/ammo.cpp#L579

Add m_pWeapon = NULL;

You may also want to set it to NULL a bit lower if the retrieved WEAPON* is NULL so the last weapon's ammo HUD isn't left visible if no definition exists.

I haven't tested it but this should work.

Unbelievable. 6 years I have been trying to hunt this down and it was simply a small thing to do... and that worked perfectly...

Can you confirm this is correct?

Yeah that looks good.
