UDodge 2016

<< < (2/2)

roastchicken:
Thanks for splitting the topics JamminR. The other thread was getting a bit cluttered.

As for the attempt to port UDodge, I haven't been able to work on it since my last post. I think my plan of attack is to try to find another way to have the combine balls find their respective pylon. I would go with the current method but I'm afraid I don't understand how it's supposed to work, and I don't think I could figure it out myself.

I'm thinking creating the combine ball manually might work, but I won't know for sure until I test it as I don't have much experience with entities.

Megiddo:
I couldn't find a better way to identify the ball's owner than the current somewhat hackish method; though, it seemed to work fine in the past. :)

You'll make my day if you find a better way!

JamminR:
Is the combine ball an entity?
And if so, is this too simple?
Entity:SetOwner

MrPresident:
Something I threw together after reading this thread. I didn't bother looking at the UDodge code at all, so I don't know if they perform of function the same, but it's just pylons that shoot balls (custom entity) at players killing them if hit.

Megiddo:
Way to go and think outside the box, Mr P. Here I was stuck on my original GM9 restrictions where I couldn't use a scripted entity so I used a combine ball instead, with its many limitations.

Good work! :)
