How can you spawn a solid model players can't walk through

[xeno]

Question rephrased a little bit: How can you make a model you spawn solid players can't walk through it?
Need a scripting command. Making a mod and need to be able to spawn a model that players can jump on or can't walk though. Thanks.

[Drofder2004]

If I recall correctly, this is something that is impossible in the early CoD Games.

Weird, because I thought I remembered seeing a mod where they were able to jump and spawn a box below them and just keep doing it to reach really high heights.

ok, first of all its from zombie mod. 2nd, im now trying to search the correct code.

[waywaaaard]

if you have the zombie mod, please link to it or give the name and I can have a look in the scripts

...some time later ive found something:

Code: Select all

#include "ui_mp/menudef.h"

		execKey "4" { scriptMenuResponse "4"; close quickzombie }
	

		itemDef

			decoration
		}
	}
}

but there is no "Place Crate" or "Place Zombie Step" or something smiliar to that

back to work...

[Drofder2004]

That does nothing.

I checked all the Zombie mods I could find and not even an idea of crate placing came up...

I'm not sure what he wants, to spawn a model that is solid and players can't walk through it?

Yes. The object is a solid model and therefore players cannot walk through it.

[Rezil]

Code: Select all

model = spawn("misc_model", (0,0,0));
model.angles = origin.angles; //make a script_origin somewhere
model setmodel("xmodel/bleh");

Something like that?

That spawns a non solid model. vCoD (like all the other series) uses a collmap model system, where the models are actually ALWAYS non-colliding. When you compile the compiler automatically assigns each model a collmap, which creates a clip around the object, making it appear solid.

Any way to spawn solid brushes via script?

[waywaaaard]

Hm haven't seen a way though.
Make 60 brushes in your map and place them somewhere outside. Manage those all in an array and set a limit how many a player can place.

Now if a player wants to spawn one, search for a free brush, make it nonsolid() and move it to the player now make it solid(). Make a function that allows a player to free all brushes he used. Those brushes will now go back to the place outside of the map and can be used for something else.

Array: [60][2] so you have

[*][0]
ent

[*][1]
player who is using it or null

each player has wether a limit of brushes he is allowed to use or first come first serve

ofc you can store additional information and other stuff

[Drofder2004]

If I remember correctly, they introduced a "setbounds" command in one game. Although removed at least in CoD4...

[megazor]

There is a long, tiresome way not to let players be in a certain place:

1. Create a function that returns true if a player is in some place (checking if the player's coordinates correspond to given coordinate ranges.

2. Make an infinite loop with this function inside.

This way isn't perfect though, but, as far as we see, it's the only way to do it.
