Detecting "Ignite" state

[Ian_Suffix]

Hey, all. New question, one that heavily relates to my little shoutbox request for assistance in testing some entities.

The question is short, and the answer is fleeting: how does one detect if an !activator, the player nearest to an entity, is on FIAAAAH?

what you on about?

That's easy...

Code: Select all

		new playerstate = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_nPlayerCond")
		if ((playerstate & (1 << 14)) != 0)
		{
			SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_nPlayerCond", (playerstate & (~(1 << 14))))
		}

Above code detects if a player is on fire, then extinguishes them....



Oh wait, this is a mapping forum?

lawl@Dog.

is that C#?

[Ian_Suffix]

I'm not against coding (I have VS2005 and am taking C++ classes after all), but would that be wrapped into the BSP or would that require modding the server? I don't want to make my map incompatible with default settings just because I want to add an environmental effect.

I am quite pleased by your prompt and sincere response, however. Despite the fact I have never made an entity before, that code snippet makes a fair amount of sense.

He was joking. That's SourcePawn, which is the language used to create SourceMod plugins. I'm pretty sure it's useless for mapping...

[Ian_Suffix]

Gyabo! Rats.

Any ideas involving filters and triggers? Or, as I asked before, can you make your own entities without changing anything server-side?

Sorry dude, no way to do this with hammer

[Ian_Suffix]

I see. Thanks for preventing me from wasting any more effort on this.
