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.

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.

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
