Drop a model

Hello

i would like to know how to drop a model, i mean:
i get a sentry from shop and this sentry must be in my vision and it moves only if i move my vision and i have to press f to drop the model. Mhm idk how to say, i hope you understand, i have already seen it in a few servers and i would like to have it too.

i tried somethings with 'self geteye()' but it do not work.

To get the position your player is looking to, try this:

https://github.com/kungfooman/cod2_s...utils.gsc#L203

PHP Code:

---


getRealEye()
{
    player = self;

    stance = player getStance();
    
    offset = 0;
    switch (stance)
    {
        case "stand": offset =  20; break;
        case  "duck": offset =   0; break;
        case   "lie": offset = -30; break;
        //default: offset = getcvarint("offset");
    }

    realEye = player getEye() + (0,0,offset);
    return realEye;
}

lookAtRaw()
{
    player = self;
    
    originStart = player getRealEye();
    //originStart = player getTagOrigin("j_head");
    //originStart = player getTagOrigin("tag_aim");

    angles = player getPlayerAngles();
    forward = anglesToForward(angles);

    originEnd = originStart + vectorScale(forward, 100000);

    trace = bullettrace(originStart, originEnd, false, undefined);

    if (trace["fraction"] == 1)
        return undefined;

    return trace;
}

The getStance() function needs libcod though.

You still need to add a distance check, like replacing

PHP Code:

---

    originEnd = originStart + vectorScale(forward, 100000); 


---

with

PHP Code:

---

    originEnd = originStart + vectorScale(forward, 100); 


---

If you can't run libcod, replace getRealEye() with getEye().

GetStance() for normal COD2:

Code:

---

GetStance()
{
        trace = bulletTrace( self.origin, self.origin + ( 0, 0, 80 ), false, undefined );
        top = trace["position"] + ( 0, 0, -1); //find the ceiling, if it's lower than 80

        bottom = self.origin + ( 0, 0, -12 );
        forwardangle = maps\mp\_utility::vectorScale( anglesToForward( self.angles ), 12 );

        leftangle = ( -1 * forwardangle[1], forwardangle[0], 0 );//a lateral vector

        //now do traces at different sample points
        //there are 9 sample points, forming a 3x3 grid centered on player's origin
        //and oriented with the player facing forward
        trace = bulletTrace( top + forwardangle, bottom + forwardangle, true, undefined );
        height1 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top - forwardangle, bottom - forwardangle, true, undefined );
        height2 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top + leftangle, bottom + leftangle, true, undefined );
        height3 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top - leftangle, bottom - leftangle, true, undefined );
        height4 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top + leftangle + forwardangle, bottom + leftangle + forwardangle, true, undefined );
        height5 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top - leftangle + forwardangle, bottom - leftangle + forwardangle, true, undefined );
        height6 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top + leftangle - forwardangle, bottom + leftangle - forwardangle, true, undefined );
        height7 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top - leftangle - forwardangle, bottom - leftangle - forwardangle, true, undefined );
        height8 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        trace = bulletTrace( top, bottom, true, undefined );
        height9 = trace["position"][2] - self.origin[2];

        //find the maximum of the height samples
        heighta = getMax( height1, height2, height3, height4 );
        heightb = getMax( height5, height6, height7, height8 );
        maxheight = getMax( heighta, heightb, height9, 0 );

        //categorize stance based on height
        if( maxheight < 33 )
                stance = "lie";
        else if( maxheight < 52 )
                stance = "duck";
        else
                stance = "stand";

        return( stance );
}

mhm where is the problem ? i would like every 0.1 second, the model move according to my vision.

PHP Code:

---

sentry()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    self endon("killed_player");
    
    self iprintlnbold("^7Press ^3[^7F^3] ^7to Place a sentry");
    sentry = spawn("script_model",self geteye()+(0,0,-40));
    sentry setmodel("xmodel/ordi_sentrygun");
    s1 = undefined;
    
    for(;;)
    {
        wait 0.1;
        trace = bullettrace(self getEye()+(0,0,-40), self getEye()+(0,0,-40)+maps\mp\_utility::vectorScale(anglesToForward(self getPlayerAngles()), 100000), false, undefined);
        
        if(trace["fraction"]!=1)
        {
            if(isdefined(trace["entity"]))
            {
                if(isplayer(trace["entity"]))
                {
                    s1=trace["entity"];
                    sentry.origin = s1.origin;
                    s1 linkto(sentry);
                }
            }
        }
        
        if(self usebuttonpressed())
        {
            sentry unlink();
            s1=undefined;
            self iprintln("Sentry placed!");
            self thread activation_sentry();
            break;
        }
    }
}
