Looking to something

[Wertmanzzz]

Hey there folks,
Very simple question, but I can't solve it...
How can I let a player look towards something with his whole body?
Thanks,
Wertmanzzz

What? You mean how do you turn?! in game? you might want to explain abit more.

[Wertmanzzz]

Ok, i'll explain

I'm working on a small mod, i'll bring it out as soon as possible
I call it the headbangmod, in which case you have to headbang each other to death , the only problem is I can't get the player to bend it's entire torso 90 degrees (or a bit less) downward (like with the mouse), by pressing use or fire. That's all

Hope it works. You can call it the head-bangers ball..........

You can modify the player's viewangles pitch:

Code: Select all

local.player.viewangles[0] == 90

-90 is straight up, 90 is straight down. If you want it to go smoothly, you'll need something like this (it's idiot proof - it ignores the player's own movement, and it returns to looking straight forward afterwards):

Code: Select all

local.pos = local.player.viewangles[0]
local.bangtime = 0.8 // how long do you want the bang move to last in seconds
local.step = local.bangtime / abs(local.pos + 90)
// bang!
while (local.player.viewangles[0] != 90) {
   local.pos += local.step
   if (local.pos > 90)
      local.pos = 90
   local.player.viewangles[0] = local.pos
}
// and back up
local.step = local.bangtime / 90.0
while (local.player.viewangles[0] != 0) {
   local.pos -= local.step
   if (local.pos < 0)
      local.pos = 0
   local.player.viewangles[0] = local.pos
}

Off the top of my head, but should work.

Hope it works. You can call it the head-bangers ball..........

or you could just call it the Mudvayne Mosh Pit.

that'd be funny just to have on the server, someone shooting a tommy looks like a spasmatic.

Thanks Rookie one
But there was a much simpler solution

Code: Select all

// bang! 
	local.player.state = HEADBANG
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( 0 0 0 )
	waitframe
   local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( -21.5 0 0 )
	waitframe
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( -43 0 0 )
	waitframe
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( -64.5 0 0 )
	waitframe
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( -86 0 0 )
	waitframe
	if(local.player.viewangles[0] >= 64.5)
	{
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( 64.5 0 0 )
	waitframe
	}
	if(local.player.viewangles[0] >= 43)
	{
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( 43 0 0 )
	waitframe
	}
	if(local.player.viewangles[0] >= 21.5)
	{
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( 21.5 0 0 )
	waitframe
	}
	if(local.player.viewangles[0] >= 0)
	local.player.viewangles = local.player.viewangles - ( 0 0 0 )
	local.player.state = STAND
	wait 2

Easy, but thanks for the idea of viewangles[0]

A bit off topic but I made a state headbang and I want to recall that in mike_torso (or mike_legs of mike) so only if in that state you can actually hurt people.

I found
This
But It doesn't says how to 'implant it as a script'.
How can you do that , thanks already
