CoD 4 Set Next Spawn Point (origin)

[Drofder2004]

For 3. it would be quite difficult, the alpha way won't work because the arrow is one shader used for all players. Modifying it directly would affect all of your teammates as well. Ragdolls and physics in cod4 are shit because they're local, not server-side so for example if a brick is in one place on your computer, it might be in a completely different place for someone else(in theory).

3. I misread the arrow thing, To my knowledge the location of yourself is controlled behind the scripts. you can stop everyone from seeing anyone (such as DM) or remove yourself (as in all players cannot see self, as Rez said).

Indeed, the physics is local, but animations are played before the ragdoll, so the death you see from the point of standing to hitting the floor, is seen the same on all screen.

Thank you guys very much for the help, and the provided info. Really awesome

1. The first part is fixed like this now:

Code: Select all

blackscreen_HUD()
{
	if (isDefined(self.blackscreen))
		self.blackscreen destroy();

	wait 0.05;

	self.blackscreen = newClientHudElem(self);
	self.blackscreen.x = 0;
	self.blackscreen.y = 0;
	self.blackscreen.alpha = 1;
	self.blackscreen.sort = 100;
	self.blackscreen.foreground = 1;
	self.blackscreen.alignX = "fullscreen";
	self.blackscreen.alignY = "fullscreen";
	self.blackscreen.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
	self.blackscreen.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
	self.blackscreen.hidewheninmenu = false;
	self.blackscreen setShader("black", 600, 480);
}

2. The animation and the text on the bottom left works. I need to check it if it really works for all players.

3. I will search for it when I am back from school.

I couldn't find the script for the player his place on the minimap


And the death animation is only visible for the player himself.

I start the tread like this:

Code: Select all

level thread fake_death(self);

This is the thread:

Code: Select all

fake_death(faker)
{
	obituary(faker, faker, "none", "MOD_SUICIDE");

	ent = faker ClonePlayer(0);
	deathAnim = ent getcorpseanim();

	startFrac = 0;

	if ( animhasnotetrack( deathAnim, "start_ragdoll" ) )
	{
		times = getnotetracktimes( deathAnim, "start_ragdoll" );
		if ( isDefined( times ) )
			startFrac = times[0];
	}

	waitTime = startFrac * getanimlength( deathAnim );
	wait( waitTime );

	if ( isDefined( ent ) )
		ent startragdoll( 1 );
}

Try using "clonePlayer(5)".

From general reading, the atrributes inside the conePlayer function are the during of the cloned played.

K, thanks.
I will test it tomorrow.

I also noticed that the death animation happens every time when I spawn. But that is just a failure in my script I think. Instead of the script you have given to me.

[Drofder2004]

After reading the script, I don't think this is possible.

Playing animations is hard coded for MP.
The code for it was once used (as in destructables.gsc) but was removed and hardcoded...

O bugger

Then I need to find something else.
Nevertheless thank you for all the provided info

Hmmm...
Is it possible to use a menu that is placed in the raw map of cod4 without compiling it in the fast file of the mod?

No idea, shouldnt be hard to test.

Not sure about menus but custom textures don't work when placed in the main folder(i.e. cod2 style) in an .iwd. I would assume the same applies to all game assets.

[Moustache]

I don't want to use an modifed menu.
Just a menu that comes in the cod4 raw map.

Drofder can you help me with a test? Because I don't know much (read nothing) about menu's.

[positive]

Everything that is in \raw\ is already loaded in the game if you didn't overwrite it via your .ff.
So with the function Openmenu(<menu name>); you can open any menu that is in the game by default.
All the menus that are loaded: (Don't mind the "Line: Precachemenu();", the names are game["***"] etc.)
