Lost Helmet problem

Hello everybody :)

I found _losthelmet in _ex_ mod but I've one problem. When I jump from a great height stops, helmet in the air and strange turns.
In general, there are no other problems.

Thread (in callback_playerDamage):

if(self.pers["team"] == "allies" && eAttacker != self) self thread scripts\systems\_lostHelmet::LostHelmet(vDir,iDama ge);

Script:

and video O_o:

Thanks for help.

Do not look lines: 197-207

Replace every third argument of bullettrace() from true to false. I guess its colliding with the player.


And please indent your Code.

Changed, but the error still occurs. :/

Can you make a video while the bug happens? First video just showed the end-result of the bug.

Video for you :)

The helmet doesn't just come off the player avatar, no matter how high you jump. There must be a script poping it off (both AWE and eXtreme+ mods have helmet popping scripts). That leads me to ask: are you actually using the eXtreme+ mod? If so, you need to disable the helmet popping thread to stop it happening.

The problem fixed. I found a better working script than that ;)

Thanks for your feedback, please post the script though :)

script, maybe someone needed.

The pop helmet code will crash a server when it has more than 26 players on it due to the "exceeded max number of entities" error. This was a big drawback to it, and is why eventually we gave up trying to get it to work in all circumstances. I personally don't advise anyone to do it. It just isn't worth the hassle.

If you dont care about the helmets to bounce, you could do it abit simplier:

detach(helmet);
vel = vectorScale(vDir,0 - iDamage); <<calculate velocity by the damage, try it out...
vel = (vel[0],vel[1],randomIntRange(300,600));
helmet = spawn(model,head)
helmet moveGravity(vel,10);
wait(10) helmet delete;

or maybe cap the amount of max helmets at the same time
