Hi,
If you plant a mine i want to let people know who’s mine it is. If you point your crosshair on the armed mine (flag) there is a name from the person who planted it, that’s my idea. I found something in cg_draw.c called CG_DrawCrosshairNames. There also is the “Disguised enemy” when you are level 4 field ops and looking at an opponent covert ops who has a disguise.
Does someone knows how to make this work?
I know this is a rather old topic, but it’s unanswered.
CG_Trace and trap_CM_BoxTraps don’t seem to work, and I’m guessing the reason is because r.contents is set to 0 when armed (see Weapon_Engineer, g_weapons.c). I’m looking for them in CG_ScanForCrosshairEntity. Any suggestions on the best way to trap landmines in client code?
i also know that q3f / etf did something like what u want with when u highlight the entity.
…'s <sentry type> autosentry.
hmm, without looking in the code, can’t you just set an unused var on the landmine entity to the client who armed it. Then do a trace from the client and if hit a mine, get the client # and present the name?
I’m not so concerned with getting the mine’s parent, that’s cake. The problem is I cannot trace it in the client. I can finish the rest rather easily, but I cannot figure out exactly how to get a valid trace on a mine.
Awesome. While I’m at it I’m having an issue with b_realHead I’d like to ask you about. If ya got the time, email me at (edit) (don’t want to bug you).
