I did this a really noobish way, so noobish, it wont even work. Why wont this work? And is there an easier way? lol
Code: | void() player_getup21 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -3.8';PlayerGetUp();};
void() player_getup20 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -4.0';player_getup21();};
void() player_getup19 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -4.2';player_getup20();};
void() player_getup18 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -4.4';player_getup19();};
void() player_getup17 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -4.6';player_getup18();};
void() player_getup16 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -4.8';player_getup17();};
void() player_getup15 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -5.0';player_getup16();};
void() player_getup14 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -5.2';player_getup15();};
void() player_getup13 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -5.4';player_getup14();};
void() player_getup12 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -5.6';player_getup13();};
void() player_getup11 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -5.8';player_getup12();};
void() player_getup10 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -6.0';player_getup11();};
void() player_getup9 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -6.2';player_getup10();};
void() player_getup8 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -6.4';player_getup9();};
void() player_getup7 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -6.6';player_getup8();};
void() player_getup6 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -6.8';player_getup7();};
void() player_getup5 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -7.0';player_getup6();};
void() player_getup4 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -7.2';player_getup5();};
void() player_getup3 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -7.4';player_getup4();};
void() player_getup2 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -7.6';player_getup3();};
void() player_getup1 = {self.view_ofs = '0 0 -7.8';player_getup2();}; |

try using this format
Code: |
void() player_getup21 = [ $deatha1, player_getup22 ]
{
self.view_ofs = '0 0 -3.8';
PlayerGetUp();
};
(...)
|
NOTE: the stuff between [] is automatically expanded to
Code: |
self.frame = $deatha1;
self.think = player_getup22;
self.nextthink = time + 0.1;
|
and placed before the code you write between {}, so you can always override the macro contents. _________________ frag.machine - Q2K4 Project

I did do it that exact way before, but it like stopped after the third function. Any ideas what would cause that?. I check for missing numbers or anything the compiler wouldn't pick up and found nothing. |

Sounds like maybe the animation is getting interrupted by something else? Perhaps pain animation?
Try adding some code in player_pain that disables the playing of pain animations if you're in the process of getting back up. (The reason this doesn't happen when you're shooting is because there's code to prevent this from happening if your weaponframe isn't 0) _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

Its not an animation though, its just functions that gradually increase self.view_ofs so it looks like you're getting up. But wouldn't a format like this work:
Code: | void() player_gettingup =
{
if (self.capenabled ==1)
{
if (self.view_ofs == -3.0)
PlayerGetUp;
return;
}
self.view_ofs = self.view_ofs + 0.1;
}; |

You would have to use self.view_ofs_z instead because you'll get a type mismatch from trying to mix and match integers with vectors.
Also, that should be placed in CheckPowerups() with some code to only allow this to occur when your actually supposed to be getting up. _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

well i have th_action = playergettingup() wouldn't that suffice? so when a teammate uses action on a player then it activates playergettingup, but player gettingup will return if self.playerincap doesnt equal 1. |

No, because playergettingup() will need to be called several times in order to get your self.view_ofs back to normal. This means you need to spread it out over several frames, which means calling the function every frame or so. (because as I understand it you want it to be done gradually, so that it looks like you're getting up)
A while loop won't work either because it will just essentially be the same as if you had done a self.view_ofs = whateverthenormalview_ofs_normallyis; (happens near instantly for the player's view) _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

OOhhhhhh. ok. I see, i was actually just trying to solve that issue, i got the code down, but it only gets called once lol. ill just make the function make self.gettingup == 1, and in powerups have it check if self.gettingup ==1 and do the view_ofs change, then at the end of the function, set self.gettingup == 0. That would work right?
Oh and btw offtopic. But how to i make a button press true, if not pressed false. for example, if i have the medkit, i have to hold down the button until the healing sequence is done, if i let go it stops it. same goes for helping a player up. how would i do this? |

alias +use "impulse 50"
alias -use "impulse 51"
bind e +use
Impulse 50 means the button's been pressed, impulse 51 means the player released the button. |

Though if you do not know (I havent actually read the thread) What downsider wrote is put into the autoexec and then you bind the e+use in the config from my understanding.
Peace,

Alright, thanks downsider, but can that be implemented with qc? how does the nailgun do it compared to the shotgun? cause remember, the action command is universal, and i need several things on the same button. For example, Medkit, shoot button is to heal yourself, but reload is heal teamate. And both of those i would like to get canceled if you let go of the button. |

The nailgun does it the same as the shotgun; both fire automatically. Quake handles button input for jumping and shooting differently than other input. |
