Facing ?

[GangsterAngel]

Hey , id realy appreciate help here.

 

im doing a 'Thing' where if you "Use" the player you are gripping

aslong as u have been gripping them for 2 secconds you throw them.

 

i need to know how i make the player be thrown to the left evry time

( no matter what direction the thrower is facing )

 

im a little lost to tell the truth.....

 

heres the code i have now.

 

//RPG MOD ======== ( Throwing someone ) [ Let go of user so they can be thrown ]
if (ent->client->pers.RPG_StopGripTime !=NULL && ent->client->pers.RPG_StopGripTime < level.time) {
//=============================
//Make sure thrower is still gripping
	if( UsingFP(ent,FP_GRIP) == 1 && ent->health > 0/* && ent->client->ps.torsoAnim==BOTH_FORCEGRIP3THROW*/) {
//=============================
gentity_t *gripped = &g_entities[ent->client->ps.fd.forceGripEntityNum];
//===============================
WP_ForcePowerStop(ent,FP_GRIP);
gripped->client->pers.RPG_ThrowTime=level.time+50;
ent->client->pers.RPG_StopGripTime=NULL;

	}
	else {
//Invalid throw . no longer gripping or dead
ent->client->pers.RPG_StopGripTime=NULL;
	}
}

//RPG MOD ============================== ( Been Thrown )
if (ent->client->pers.RPG_ThrowTime !=NULL && ent->client->pers.RPG_ThrowTime < level.time) {
//Make sure they are still gripped
//		if(ent->client->ps.fd.forceGripBeingGripped > level.time) {

//Make sure the thrower is still alive and in the BOTH_FORCEGRIP3THROW anim

//FIXME: Work out what direction user is facing, and throw to the left.

ent->client->ps.velocity[0]+=400;
ent->client->ps.velocity[1]+=60;
ent->client->ps.velocity[2]+=300;

/*
//FIX: That Dosent work lol
gentity_t *gripper = &g_entities[ent->client->pers.RPG_Gripper];
vec3_t fwd, tto;
AngleVectors(gripper->client->ps.viewangles, fwd, NULL, NULL);
tto[0] += fwd[0]+400;
tto[1] +=60;
tto[2] += fwd[2]+300;
//---
ent->client->ps.velocity[0]+=tto[0];
ent->client->ps.velocity[2]+=tto[1];
ent->client->ps.velocity[3]+=tto[2];
//---
*/

ent->client->pushEffectTime =level.time+100;

		ent->client->ps.forceHandExtend = HANDEXTEND_KNOCKDOWN;
		ent->client->ps.forceDodgeAnim = 0;
		ent->client->ps.forceHandExtendTime = level.time + 600;
		ent->client->ps.quickerGetup = qfalse;

G_Sound(ent, CHAN_WEAPON, G_SoundIndex( "sound/weapons/force/push.mp3" ) );
G_Sound(ent, CHAN_WEAPON, G_SoundIndex( "sound/weapons/force/push.wav" ) );

ent->client->pers.RPG_ThrowTime=NULL;
//	}//<< still been gripped

}
//===================================

come on , i know some of u out their could help me..eg ,Razor !.. PLEASE! , lol

[ensiform]

look at debugthrow maybe in g_cmds.c or how the rancor tosses you possibly.

 

also there is a G_Throw function somewhere if i remember correctly.

[GangsterAngel]

Got it , thanx

 

//FIXME: Work out what direction user is facing, and throw to the left. ( FIXED )
vec3_t angs;
vec3_t pushDir;
gentity_t *gripper = &g_entities[ent->client->pers.RPG_Gripper];
VectorCopy( gripper->client->ps.viewangles, angs );
//--Ad abit of randimizeation
angs[YAW] += flrand( 25, 50 );
angs[PITCH] = flrand( -25, -15 );
angs[ROLL] = 210;//120; // + = Left , -= Right
//---------------------------
AngleVectors( angs, pushDir, NULL, NULL );
G_Throw( ent, pushDir, 65 + gripper->client->ps.fd.forcePower);

Actually [ROLL] is like the motion caused by rocking your head left/right while staring straight forward.

 

instead I'd do...

//FIXME: Work out what direction user is facing, and throw to the left. ( FIXED )
vec3_t angs;
vec3_t pushDir;
gentity_t *gripper = &g_entities[ent->client->pers.RPG_Gripper];
VectorCopy( gripper->client->ps.viewangles, angs );
//--Ad abit of randimizeation
angs[YAW] += flrand( 25, 50 );
angs[PITCH] = flrand( -25, -15 );
//---------------------------
//finding the vector pointing to the right of the angles set by angs.
AngleVectors( angs, NULL, pushDir, NULL ); 
//reversing our right vector to make it point left.
VectorScale(pushDir, -1, pushDir);
G_Throw( ent, pushDir, 65 + gripper->client->ps.fd.forcePower);

This way you're actually doing your vector math right instead of winging it.

[GangsterAngel]

Humm . yeah , thats alot more left.

with my code it was kinda alot fowards and a little left. looked ok though.

 

but yeah , urs is deffantly alot more left. thanx razor

[razorace]

My method is using vector math left, which is what I thought you were shooting for.

 

And you're welcome.
