Model name

Hi, i want to write hide and seek mod, but i have some problems.
How can i get model name by using aim throw bullettrace f.e? I need model from map, f.e. tree, barrels, cars or tanks models from toujane.

PHP Code:

---

while(isAlive(self))
{
   trace = bullettrace(self geteye() + (0, 0, 20), self geteye() + (0, 0, 20) + maps\mp\_utility::vectorscale(anglestoforward(self getplayerangles()), 99999), true, self);
   self iprintlnbold(trace["entity"]); //display player name
} 


---

Im junior in scripting, mb I'm using wrong steps, idk

trace[ "entity" ] is either the player, any other entity (script-models etc) or undefined

I do not know if your player has a static model, the trace-entity will show it as a player.

If so, check for these cases and pront the name:

PHP Code:

---

ent = trace[ "entity" ];

if( IsDefined( ent ) && IsPlayer( ent ) )
    IPrintLnBold( ent.name );

Also: you can only 'detect' models that are scrip-models. This means they must be entities (either set in the radiant or spawned via script). Normal models (like trees, barrels, tables etc.) cannot be detected via bullettrace afaik.

Also: in your script: you should add a wait-statement in there, otherwise it will issue an error.

Ok, thx.
Can there be alternative ways to determine the model? or its impossible?

Decompile the map and open in radiant, then you can see the modelnames in Radiant.
Why do you want to know every model's name?

I want to make hide and seek, where user who is hiding saw the barrel or other object, pressed the f and took it model.

Then you might wanna decompile the map and create a list of all models in the map + their origin. Then see what the bullettrace["position"] is closest to, and use the list as a lookup.

Too expensive by time:(
Ok, can i add additional menu items(wm_messages) for one gametype, f.e?

Yes you can. Check _menus.gsc how it's handeled

Also maybe add some triggers, so it would be like player can stand near a model and press f...?

I meant reading it through a script

Probably only models with High Collision LOD can be bullettraced. Maybe make e.g. a sphere in Maya, export it with High Collision into CoD2 and just link that sphere to every player.

PHP Code:

---

player.sphere = createSomeTransparentSphereAndLinkTo(player);
player.sphere.player = player; 


---

When bullettrace hits the sphere, you can access the player entity via trace["entity"].player

in this way i decompile all maps of server, and find all model's origin, too hard for me(
