From Concussion to Destruction (Help)

[eezstreet]

Yes, it's because of the way the missile code works. The effect is based on what you pass in s.weapon. Look in the events, there's one that handles the missile draw, I'm pretty sure. If not that, then cg_ents.cpp handles it.

Is this what you meant? (cg_ents)

 

 

if ( weapon->missileTrailFunc )  
weapon->missileTrailFunc( cent, weapon );
 
// add dynamic light
if ( wData->missileDlight )
cgi_R_AddLightToScene(cent->lerpOrigin, wData->missileDlight, 
wData->missileDlightColor[0], wData->missileDlightColor[1], wData->missileDlightColor[2] );
 
// add missile sound
if ( weapon->missileSound )
cgi_S_AddLoopingSound( cent->currentState.number, cent->lerpOrigin, vec3_origin, weapon->missileSound );
 
//Don't draw something without a model
if ( weapon->missileModel == 0 )
return;
}
 
// create the render entity
memset (&ent, 0, sizeof(ent));
VectorCopy( cent->lerpOrigin, ent.origin);
VectorCopy( cent->lerpOrigin, ent.oldorigin);
/*
Ghoul2 Insert Start
*/
CG_SetGhoul2Info(&ent, cent);  
 
/*
Ghoul2 Insert End
*/
 
// flicker between two skins
ent.skinNum = cg.clientFrame & 1;
ent.renderfx = /*weapon->missileRenderfx | */RF_NOSHADOW;
 
if ( cent->gent->alt_fire )
ent.hModel = weapon->alt_missileModel;
else
ent.hModel = weapon->missileModel;

Yes. The first two lines are referring to what I'm talking about.

[JediBantha]

So what exactly should I change?

[eezstreet]

Figure out what it's doing there. I've already mentioned this once before in this thread

[JediBantha]

Could I apply these lines to another weapon model, somehow?

 

 

if ( !Q_stricmp( token, "bladeEffect" ) ) 
{
if ( COM_ParseString( &p, &value ) ) 
{
continue;
}
saber->bladeEffect = G_EffectIndex( (char *)value );
continue;
}
 
if (  !WP_SaberBladeUseSecondBladeStyle( &cent->gent->client->ps.saber[saberNum], bladeNum )
&& cent->gent->client->ps.saber[saberNum].bladeEffect )
{
CG_PlayEffectIDBolted( cent->gent->client->ps.saber[saberNum].bladeEffect, modelIndex, bolt, scent->currentState.clientNum, scent->lerpOrigin, -1, qfalse );
}

[eezstreet]

I don't understand, what are you wanting to do?

[JediBantha]

Well... I'm trying to make the actual missile play it's specified effect (<weapon>/shot.efx), instead of just being invisible when fired.

[JediBantha]

Since I am now comparing Destruction to a typical fireball, what lines of code in "WP_FireConcussion" and "WP_FireThermalDetonator" would be an ideal build for shooting off a fireball without it bouncing on the ground?

Sorry for being a dick earlier, had a lot going on.

 

As of right now, I'm still using the "Conc-Paste" method:

 

 
static void ForceDestructionMissile(gentity_t *ent)
{
vec3_t start;
vec3_t dir;
int radius = forceDestructionRadius[ent->client->ps.forcePowerLevel[FP_DESTRUCTION]];
int damage = forceDestructionDamage[ent->client->ps.forcePowerLevel[FP_DESTRUCTION]];
float vel = 2600;
 
if (ent->s.number >= MAX_CLIENTS)
{
vec3_t angles;
vectoangles(forwardVec, angles);
angles[PITCH] += (crandom() * (CONC_NPC_SPREAD + (6 - ent->NPC->currentAim)*0.25f));
angles[YAW] += (crandom() * (CONC_NPC_SPREAD + (6 - ent->NPC->currentAim)*0.25f));
AngleVectors(angles, forwardVec, vrightVec, up);
}
 
if (ent->client->ps.forcePowersActive & (1 << FP_RAGE))
{
damage *= 2;
}
 
VectorCopy(ent->client->renderInfo.handLPoint, start);
AngleVectors(ent->client->ps.viewangles, dir, NULL, NULL);
 
WP_TraceSetStart(ent, start, vec3_origin, vec3_origin);
 
gentity_t *missile = CreateMissile(start, dir, vel, 10000, ent);
 
WP_MissileTargetHint(ent, muzzle, forwardVec);
 
missile->classname = "destruct_proj";
missile->s.weapon = WP_DESTRUCTION;
missile->mass = 10;
 
if (ent->s.number != 0)
{
if (g_spskill->integer == 0)
{
damage = ceil(forceDestructionDamage[ent->client->ps.forcePowerLevel[FP_DESTRUCTION]] * 0.15f);
}
else if (g_spskill->integer == 1)
{
damage = ceil(forceDestructionDamage[ent->client->ps.forcePowerLevel[FP_DESTRUCTION]] * 0.30f);
}
else
{
damage = ceil(forceDestructionDamage[ent->client->ps.forcePowerLevel[FP_DESTRUCTION]] * 0.50f);
}
}
 
VectorSet(missile->maxs, ROCKET_SIZE, ROCKET_SIZE, ROCKET_SIZE);
VectorScale(missile->maxs, -1, missile->mins);
 
missile->dflags = DAMAGE_EXTRA_KNOCKBACK | DAMAGE_HEAVY_WEAP_CLASS;
 
missile->methodOfDeath = MOD_FORCE_DESTRUCTION;
missile->splashMethodOfDeath = MOD_FORCE_DESTRUCTION;
 
missile->clipmask = MASK_SHOT | CONTENTS_LIGHTSABER;
 
missile->damage = damage;
missile->splashDamage = damage;
missile->splashRadius = radius;
missile->bounceCount = 0;
}
