So i was wondering how i would teleport a player infront of themself 2 metres or so. I thought that I could do this by doing something like Code Snippet Plaintext Copy newplayerangles = player.angles + direction + angles(angles needed) Yes i know that's not how it is supposed to be layed out but thats the sort of thing I want. Not sure how to check direction so if anyone could help that would be great :3

if theres a wall in the way you will go to the wall but not threw it that would take a little more code

Ah, good, thanks for the clarification.

erm i have it setup like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include maps\_utility; 
#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

init()
{
	players = get_players();
	for(i = 0; i<players.size ; i++)
	{
		players[i] thread blink_main();
	}
}

blink_main()
{
	angles = self GetPlayerAngles();
	ang_fw = anglestoforward( angles );
	while(1)
		{
			if (self meleebuttonpressed())
			{
				iprintln("ismeleeing");
				// get the new destination 200 untis forward
				destination = self.origin + vectorscale( ang_fw, 500);
       				 ground_org = groundpos( destination+(0,0,35) );
 
				// do a bullettrace to check for walls etc
				if( bullettracepassed( self.origin+(0,0,30), ground_org+(0,0,30), false, self ) )
				{
				self dontinterpolate();
				self setorigin( ground_org );
				}
				wait 0.1;
			}
			if (!self meleebuttonpressed())
			{
				iprintln("Not Meleeing");
				wait 0.1;
			}
			else
			{
			continue;
			wait 0.1;
			}
		}
}

But it isn't teleporting me anywhere? It does print "ismeleeing" when i melee but it doesnt actually teleport me. Any help?

Can anyone explain how dontInterpolate() works? I've read the Script Reference but have no idea what it says...

Basicly when you move a player by just defining a new origin, so when you do player setorigin( 0,0,0 ); for example, normally you could see the player move to that coord in some cases. So you see the player model flashing very quick to it's new pos, when you use dontinterpolate() it wont show up when 'moving' to it's new pos so it looks better.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

destination1 = self.origin + ( anglesToForward( self.angles ) * 40 );
		destination = playerPhysicsTrace( self.origin, destination1 ) + ( anglesToForward( self.angles ) * 40 );
		destination3 = playerPhysicsTrace( destination, destination + ( 0, 0, -1000 ) );
		if ( destination != ( destination1 + ( anglesToForward( self.angles ) * 40 ) ) || distance( destination3, destination ) > 50 )
		{
			shield delete();
			self setweaponammoclip( weapname, 1 );
			continue;
		}

Heres some example code from my shield

I used this to trace to the floor when a shield is placed and to place it "infront" of that player by 40 units, if something blocks it, it returns as far as it could until obstructed. In this case i had it abandon if that place wasnt where it was originally to go, but you could just use the new returned origin, which will be just before it detected a obstruction

and if it has to drop more than 50 units, it abandons ( coz the shield floated in the air when i placed it over stairs or drops before but i didnt want them placing it on the floor, if the floor was a massive drop away either lol )

Its the same principal here, using playerPhysicsTrace() will return "up to" the obstruction

Code Snippet

Plaintext

destination1 = self.origin + ( anglesToForward( self.angles ) * 40 );
destination = playerPhysicsTrace( self.origin, destination1 ) + ( anglesToForward( self.angles ) * 40 );

"destination" would be the returned origin, up to the wall obstructing directly infront of you
"destination1" would be the orignal place it would have landed, if the wall wasnt there

if no obstruction, both would be the same
