Quake DeveLS - Flares
Author: John Rittenhouse
Difficulty: Easy
Flares
Flares are quite simple
for me to code since they are already in my mod Star Troopers. They are best used with the
lights out !
Add this function to a
file (maybe p_weapon.c ?) :
void fire_flare (edict_t *self, vec3_t start, vec3_t aimdir, int damage, int speed, float timer, float damage_radius){ edict_t *grenade; vec3_t dir; vec3_t forward, right, up; vectoangles (aimdir, dir); AngleVectors (dir, forward, right, up); grenade = G_Spawn(); VectorCopy (start, grenade->s.origin); VectorScale (aimdir, speed, grenade->velocity); VectorMA (grenade->velocity, 200 + crandom() * 10.0, up, grenade->velocity); VectorMA (grenade->velocity, crandom() * 10.0, right, grenade->velocity); VectorSet (grenade->avelocity, 300, 300, 300); grenade->movetype = MOVETYPE_BOUNCE; grenade->clipmask = MASK_SHOT; grenade->solid = SOLID_BBOX; grenade->s.effects |= EF_BLASTER; grenade->s.renderfx |= RF_SHELL_GREEN; VectorClear (grenade->mins); VectorClear (grenade->maxs); grenade->s.modelindex = gi.modelindex ("models/objects/grenade/tris.md2"); grenade->owner = self; grenade->touch = Grenade_Touch; grenade->nextthink = level.time + timer + 35; grenade->think = Grenade_Explode; grenade->dmg = damage; grenade->dmg_radius = damage_radius; grenade->classname = "grenade"; // CCH: a few more attributes to let the grenade 'die' VectorSet(grenade->mins, -3, -3, 0); VectorSet(grenade->maxs, 3, 3, 6); grenade->mass = 2; grenade->health = 10; grenade->die = Grenade_Die; grenade->takedamage = DAMAGE_YES; grenade->monsterinfo.aiflags = AI_NOSTEP; gi.linkentity (grenade);}
That will
allow you to shoot a flare. I will let you put that in however you want since
different people do that different ways. You could put it in as a simple
command ("cmd flare") or you could add a whole new weapon, the
flare-launcher maybe, with a new weapon model, sound effect, etc. By the way
the flares kinda remind me of the light sticks since it is glowing green.
Flashlight
#1
Now for the flashlight I
wish id added in the cone value they talk about in their source code but I
checked for it and it isn't there so I guess they haven't added it in yet(It
should be in for Duke Nukem Forever since they have a flashlight in there). Now
I will show you how to do the flashlight. Add at the top of g_cmds.c add this
"int FLASHLIGHT = 0". Then add this code into Client_Command at the
correct place.
else if(Q_stricmp (cmd, "flashlight") == 0 && !(deathmatch->value)) { if (FLASHLIGHT) { ent->flashlight->think = G_FreeEdict; FLASHLIGHT = 0; } else { ent->flashlight = G_Spawn(); ent->flashlight->think = FlashLightMove; ent->flashlight->nextthink = level.time +0.1; ent->flashlight->s.effects = EF_BLASTER; ent->flashlight->s.modelindex = 1; ent->flashlight->solid = SOLID_NOT; ent->flashlight->owner = ent; ent->flashlight->movetype =MOVETYPE_NOCLIP; ent->flashlight->clipmask = MASK_SHOT; gi.linkentity(ent->flashlight); VectorCopy (ent->s.origin,ent->flashlight->s.origin); FLASHLIGHT = 1; } }
Now add
above Client_Command this code. This code moves the flashlight to the same pos
as the player.
void FlashLightMove(edict_t *ent){ VectorCopy(ent->owner->s.origin,ent->s.origin); ent->nextthink = level.time +0.1;}
Now add
into G_Local.h at the bottom this into the edict_s definition.
edict_t *flashlight;
This
flashlight is a little buggy, so here's an alternative flashlight for you :
Flashlight
#2
Guess what I got the
flashlight to work correctly shortly after I got CTF into mod to
work(YEAH!!!!). SO here it is. First we need to add a flag to tell when its on
or off in "g_local.h" my flags look like this and you can see the
last flag is the flashlight flag the one you will add in.
// edict->flags#define FL_FLY 0x00000001#define FL_SWIM 0x00000002 // implied immunity to drowining#define FL_IMMUNE_LASER 0x00000004#define FL_INWATER 0x00000008#define FL_GODMODE 0x00000010#define FL_NOTARGET 0x00000020#define FL_IMMUNE_SLIME 0x00000040#define FL_IMMUNE_LAVA 0x00000080#define FL_PARTIALGROUND 0x00000100 // not all corners are valid#define FL_WATERJUMP 0x00000200 // player jumping out of water#define FL_TEAMSLAVE 0x00000400 // not the first on the team#define FL_NO_KNOCKBACK 0x00000800#define FL_POWER_ARMOR 0x00001000 // power armor (if any) is active#define FL_RESPAWN 0x80000000 // used for item respawning#define FL_BOOTS 0x00010000 //Anti-Gravity boots flag#define FL_GRAPPLING 0x00002000 //used for grappling hook JR 1/19/98#define FL_OBJECT 0x00004000#define FL_SATELLITE 0x00008000 //USed for the satellite JR 3/17/98#define FL_PARAL 0x00020000 //used fo paralyzation#define FL_FLASHLIGHT 0x00040000
Okay now
add in this command here to "g_cmds.c
else if(Q_stricmp (cmd, "flashlight") == 0 && !(deathmatch->value)) { if (ent->flags & FL_FLASHLIGHT) { ent->flags &= ~FL_FLASHLIGHT; FLASHLIGHT = 0; } else { ent->flags |= FL_FLASHLIGHT; FLASHLIGHT = 1; } }
Now we
need to add the thing that lights us up so we goto the file
"p_view.c". Now goto the end of the command
"G_SetClientEffects" and add this code
if (ent->flags & FL_FLASHLIGHT) { ent->s.effects |= EF_FLAG1|EF_FLAG2; }
THat
should work so whenever you use the command "cmd flashlight" Hope you
like this SumFuka! [Yep, I love it ! - Sum].
