suggestion with demos

Post by xh2ro » July 24th, 2007, 5:39 pm

Hello !

I have suggestion about your demos.

It is possible that you will include some tool in your demos with which we can be able to see which buttons you press when you jump.
Like small keyboard with buttons a,s,d,w,ctrl, c, space...

When you press those buttons during the jump we will see that on demos in small corner of a picture...

Please...

Key detection is impossible, therefore, quick answer = no.

Right?
Well of course, that's common sense. If you press thr right key, you'll strafe right. That's simple enough with one key, but when you combine multiple keys, such as strafing right, moving forwards and then jumping (so the visible effects of which keys you are pressing are minimized), I would imagine it is impossible to judge which keys are being pressed.

It took hundreds of lines to detect "leaning", detecting movement would be crazy. Let me attempt to explain why (although Peds's reason is one of the problems).

To detect movement to the left/right, The mod would require a few "bones" to be monitored, left arm and right arm for example.
The mod would then every 20th of a second record the current position of those bones, and then it would compare the data using distance.

If the distance between the old position of the right arm is closer to the new position of the left arm, then they player is moving right and vice versa.

That is very script heavy already, now the mod must detect rotation of the player and take that into consideration, the it must take nito consideration the stance of the player and all other kinds of crap. To get it too work would be close to impossible, and would send any scripted insane before they got to that point :P

^ Exactly what happened when I read it :P

the answer to your question is...

It is plausible but close to impossible. The difficulty would be extreme and the stress of the server would not cope with the level of stress applied by all the maths involved.

So the answer is Yes, but don't expect it to ever happen.
