Event 5002

Obst · June 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">Which sprite?</div> When using {event 5002 x y} on a sequence in the .qc which sprite is used for that? Not the sparks flying off, but the muzzleflash like thing that is also displayed.
I need the filename please.

Vash_Fourty_Five_Lc · June 2004

Okay, so I'm assuming your using this for the MG-42 v_model your working on, neh? The correct sequence your looking for is event 5001 I do believe. And it works something like this.

}
$sequence "shoot" "shoot" fps 20 { event 5001 0 "30" }

That line is taking from a decompile of my v_mg for NS. Now the only part we're worried about for muzzleflashes would be { event 5001 0 "30" }. Event 5001 specifies to <u>play</u> a muzzleflash sprite, the 0 specifies <u>when</u> to play it (at frame zero as it where) and the "30" specifies <u>how big</u> and <u>which</u> sprite to play.

Now I know your only intrested in which sprite plays which, so here it is. A value of 1 in the last digit will play "muzzleflash2" a value of 3 will play "muzzleflash" and I think a value of 2 or 0 will play "muzzleflash1." The last two may be switched, and there is also "muzzleflash4" sprite, which I forgot which activates that.

Well, that should be it in a nutshell, hope that's what your looking for. Looking forward to your MG-42 release, it's going to my HMG as soon as it's done, not to mention I'm compiling those scwheet player animations to my HA when those are done too.

I don't need event 5001, 5011, nor 5021, thank you :/
What I need is the filename used for the sprite used when using 5002...

btw

5001 = muzzleflash1.spr
5011 = muzzleflash2.spr
5021 = muzzleflash1.spr
5002 = sparks effect

{ event 5001 0 "30" }

mf1.spr on frame 0 scaled 30 times, 30 is only the size and nothing else <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

btw you can only apply them to your HA when you either restructure the bones in the anim or use LA skeleton for your HA model <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

awww meh = pwnd. Didn't even know you could call for an event on the sparks. Now I'm really intrigued as to what your up to on that MG-42 of yours.

Obst · June 2004

I use the smal muzzle flash at the tip of the barrel and the sparks effect on the venting holes. The 2 additive sprites behind each other give the front one a 3D look while the sparks effect looks like that muzzle flash in the movie <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Obst · June 2004

Does event 6001 go up to 6031 like 5001 does to specify the attachment link used to be ejected from?
And what's the filename for the sprite used on 5002? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

In combination with event 5021, yes.

Brimstone · July 2004

nope...

5021 calls muzzleflash1, 5023 calls nothing...

Obst · July 2004

Who spoke of 5023? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />
5021 calls muzzleflash3.spr at attachment 2.

Using this caused the muzzleflash1 sprite to be called to attachment2- I'm using different color flashes (1= blue, 2= red, 3= yellow) for testing, so there is no doubt... it was positioned perfectly, just the wrong sprite. That's why I tried 5023, which called nothing... I even stuck another flash in named as muzzleflash.spr, and no dice...

Of course:

Maybe the flash is hardcoded...

*edit*
Must be hardcoded- decompile turrets, and you'll find they use 5001 and get muzzleflash2...

CoolCookieCooks · July 2004

or does it use a sprite from the valve pak file? (now a gcf file)

Verthandi · July 2004

<s>I don't recall seeing any NS muzzleflash sprites in the HL PAK file...

<i>edit: ...so I went and checked the PAK file just to be sure. It's not in there.</i></s>

Kaine · July 2004

any chance of getting piccies of what you guys are trying out here? (thats if any of it is working, of course)

Provided that there's no file with higher priority (external files take precedence over files inside the PAK), the Sentry Turret will use muzzleflash2.spr from pak0.pak, as expected.

We're trying to work out the event system on animations, their corresponding sprites, and hopefully unlock a third muzzleflash. Not looking too great, especially after the testing Brimstone did.

Brimstone · July 2004

Which is disappointing, because different weapons should have different flashes... I really wanted to take the smartgun flash for the Spike... which would then look stupid on a pistol... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Verthandi · September 2004

I bring news of a working, third muzzleflash!

I haven't been able to pinpoint what exactly triggers it (I was tweaking the HMG models, and noticed the third muzzleflash being shown when 'test-firing'), but further experimentation later today should provide some answers.

Obst · September 2004

I now it now... I even included it in the JR Pack <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

{ event 5021 1 "62" }

The second digit of the second option (62) tells what muzzleflash is played.
62 = mf3
61 = mf2
60 = mf1
The 6 only tells the scaling of the sprite.
Btw even Brig told it wrong to me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />
/me runs off.

Verthandi · September 2004

Does it still follow any pattern after '2'?
I tried 13, 14, 25, 27, and 28:
13 - muzzleflash2
14 - muzzleflash2
25 - muzzleflash3
27 - muzzleflash2
28 - muzzleflash3

Obst · September 2004

Didn't test it, and it is unneded, because you can just stay with X0 - X2.
