i am trying to install the gyro 2 plugin into clean QC code. i am using QuakeC 106.
here are the problems i am having
when i remove the line
void(entity e) remove = #15; (like it says in the tut)
i get this error
error: subs.qc:5:Unknown value "remove"
warning: subs.qc:25:SetMovedir: not all control paths return a value
error: subs.qc:188:Unknown value "remove"
error: subs.qc:253:Unknown value "remove"
but when i leave it in i get this error
warning: subs.qc:25:SetMovedir: not all control paths return a value
warning: ai.qc:368:FindTarget must return a value
warning: ai.qc:588:CheckAnyAttack must return a value
warning: items.qc:47:droptofloor: Too few parameters
error: world.qc:343:Unknown value "Gyro_Run"
can someone help me out. |

Sounds like you haven't added the four Gyro files to your progs.src file.
Once you've copied them into mod's source, along with all the other .qc files, you'll need to open progs.src with a text editor. This file tells the compiler which .qc files it needs to load and in what order. You need to add them after defs.qc, like this:
Code: | ../progs.dat
defs.qc
gyro_main.qc
gyro_physics.qc
gyro_forces.qc
gyro_user.qc
subs.qc
fight.qc
ai.qc
combat.qc
items.qc
weapons.qc
world.qc
client.qc
player.qc
monsters.qc
doors.qc
buttons.qc
triggers.qc
plats.qc
misc.qc
ogre.qc
demon.qc
shambler.qc
knight.qc
soldier.qc
wizard.qc
dog.qc
zombie.qc
boss.qc
tarbaby.qc // registered
hknight.qc // registered
fish.qc // registered
shalrath.qc // registered
enforcer.qc // registered
oldone.qc // registered |
Hope this helps! I'm still working slowly on Gyro 2.1, but writing the documentation is so boring, I can only manage it for about half and hour at a time! And I've completed Dead Rising now, so I'm less prone to being distracted by it! |

I had this problem too or one similar to it.
I solved it by not deleting the line
Code: | void(entity e) remove = #15; |
but by replacing it like this:
Code: | void(entity e) remove; |

how do you make opjects have weight and can move when shot are hit by the player. |

All physics objects have mass greater than zero. You can't create them any other way since the function to set an object as a physics entity is this:
Code: | Gyro_Object_Activate(entity obj, float mass) |
The mass won't do anything however, until you've either given the object some physics properties (like bouyancy or aerodynamics) or you've created some forces.
For rockets and grenades, just create a sphere-like force upon impact to represent the explosion. For nails and shotgun traces, you'll either have to be creative or wait until Gyro 2.1, since it has a new cylindrical/conical falloff component. |

Part 3 - Floating Pineapples, about three paragraphs down:
Quote: | Code: | setmodel (missile, "progs/grenade.mdl");
setsize (missile, '0 0 0', '0 0 0');
setorigin (missile, self.origin);
Gyro_Object_Activate(missile, 800); |
This will instruct Gyro to treat the grenade as a physics object with mass 800, just as the macro did, but without any other physical properties such as bouyancy. |
It'll then cover adding physical properties to the object, starting with bouyancy. The final part of the tutorial adds a simple force, too, which relies on the object's mass. |

also with the mass thing would u wright 1kg in grams (1000) _________________ http://bradshub.ath.cx - take a look at my web site.

You can apply physics to objects spawned by the bsp the same way, open up items.qc go to item_health and at the end of the function:
Gyro_Object_Activate(self, 800);
Then ur grenades can blow the health box around aswell  |

I didn't cover making solid entities into physics objects in the tutorial, partly because it's the same as with point entities and partly because there's a bug with it in 2.0!
As for mass, you're free to use any unit you feel comfortable with. I personally measure the mass in grams, but it'll work just as well with kilograms, pounds, tonnes, whatever, providing you keep it consistent throughout your mod.
Although, the whole mass thing kinda breaks down when you start turning monsters and players into physics objects, since it never takes volume into account, and larger objects should be hit by more of the force...
Best thing to do is experiment - fiddle around until you get the effect you want! |

It's probably best that you wait for me to release version 2.1. I've made a lot of fixes to it, so you'll have a much easier time getting it to work. |
