Scripting: Attach to Model

SNakeFluGeL · Post by **SNakeFluGeL** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 12:40 pm

I am creating a sort of Capture the Flag game, the allies have to steal the documents from the axis base and return it to theirs, axis job is to defend the documents. We have been playing this and it all looks promising...

The documents are hidden on a random place and you can grab them, and the documents will be attached in the left_hand of the player. So other people can actually see that he got the documents. Nothing wrong so far, even drop the documents seems to be working perfect.

But then a friend of mine discovered something which I just can't find the answer on. Somehow if you grab the documents with a 'rifle' 'sniper' or 'bazooka' and you reload with the rifle, the gun dissapears all of a sudden (now you only have grenades and pistol) and with a sniper and bazooka when you fire one shot, it's gone.... You don't have this problem with the SMG, MG or Shotgun.

In the script I had to add this line:

Code: Select all

attachdocs local.player:
	// Attach the Documents to the Stealer
	 while ((isalive local.player) && (level.stealerdoc == "true")) {
		 waitframe
		 local.player removeattachedmodel "tag_weapon_left"
		 local.player attachmodel "models/items/documents1a.tik" "tag_weapon_left" "0.75"
	 }
	 local.player removeattachedmodel "tag_weapon_left"
end

To keep the documents attached to the player so if it changes weapon or holster it, it won't dissapear, maybe the bug is in here since it removed the attachedmodel in the tag_weapon_left =/ Hope you guys can help me out quick :$

I think the continuous removeattachedmodel is the problem.

This is the garand reload animation:

Code: Select all

//=========================
// Reload Garand
//========================
rifle_reload		viewmodel/rifle/tps_garand_reload.skc		crossblend 0.05
{
	server
	{
		first reloadweapon
		// attach the weapon to the left hand
		1	weaponcommand mainhand attachtohand offhand									
		// put the ammo clip in the right hand
		4	attachmodel models/ammo/garand_clip_reload.tik tag_weapon_right				
		// put the clip ammo into the gun
		34	weaponcommand mainhand clip_fill											
		// remove the clip model from the right hand
		42	removeattachedmodel tag_weapon_right 0 models/ammo/garand_clip_reload.tik	
		// reattach the weapon to the right hand
		57	weaponcommand mainhand attachtohand mainhand								
	}
}

As you can see at the very first frame the rifle is attached to the 'offhand' of the player which is the left hand. Thus, if the removedattachmodel command is issued when reloading both the docs and the weapon are removed.

A simple solution is to use the attach command instead.

Code: Select all

attachdocs local.player:
	// Attach the Documents to the Stealer
	local.docs = spawn "models/items/documents1a.tik"
	local.docs attach local.player "tag_weapon_left"

	while ((isalive local.player) && (level.stealerdoc == "true"))
		waitframe

	local.docs remove
end

I think the problem with what you wrote was that when you change or holster your weapon the documents will not be attached anymore... But I will test it ..

Well now the rifle sniper and bazooka indeed don't go away but now the documents aren't attached to the player =/

Hmm that's strange, maybe try another tag just for a test.
local.docs attach local.player "Bip01 Pelvis"

pos + rot = tag

Thus, 'Bip01 Footsteps pos' is tag 'Bip01 Footsteps'

'Bip01 L Hand' did the trick for me, thanks jv_map ...
