[COD 1] Script_model and Misc_model

[ThaWalrus]

Hi CJ,

At CoD 1, i am mapping a bit, but I have some kind of problem.
It is possible to inport models to radiant, they are located in the xmodel folder. Also, most models have collmaps(model with playerclips). The problem is, when I want to, for example, move an entity that is a Misc_model, it cant be moved. If its a script_model, however, it can be moved. I face two problems here:

1. Modelscale doesnt work at script_model.
2. Model is non-collidable.

I was wondering if its possible to create a entity, which can be moved, scaled and non-collidable.

Thanks in advance! (or not)

[13:54] mеgazor: misc_model is static
[13:54] mеgazor: a decoration
[13:54] mеgazor: script_model refers to SCRIPTING
[13:54] mеgazor: u can play with it by scripting
[13:54] mеgazor: but ye, u cant change its size in radiant
[13:55] mеgazor: and its non colliding

So, a misc_model is really a static decoration thats compiled within the map...

With script_model its impossible to change the size I noticed, but you can indeed play with it in certain ways.
There is actually no need for putting a script_model in your map, since you can spawn("script_model", origin).

I was wondering if you could create a box or something inside it that is non-collidable. Like a 16x16x16 box, I found the function "setContents()" but I cant figure out how to use it...

Are there more things you can change to a script_model within a script? Like setting the model, origin, movement etc?

Thx for the help already!

You cannot spawn solid objects and "setcontents" works in some versions of CoD but it is limited use and does not give an accurate clip of the item.

I found the function "setContents()" but I cant figure out how to use it...

This is how it works:

Code: Select all

scriptmodel setContents(1);

It doesnt matter what model(a car, a box, a tree) is bound to the 'scriptmodel' - this function will always create the same small clip box, about 16x16x16. If you want larger clipping, you will have to spawn more script_model's

@megazorro

Is it possible to resize this 'box', or get some other sort of clip box?

Btw, i cant get it to work, this setContents(1). The 1 means its true?

It says it returns something?

[megazor]

setContents(1) creates a solid box. 1 means "dear script, please give me a box!"
setContents(0) removes it.
