movement with coordinates

[numu]

hello everyone,

does anyone of you have an idea how i could solve this issue ?

i receive X and Y coordinates through a UDP port, now what i want to do is to move the player according to those coordinates (doesnt matter if relativ or global)..

the only way i succeeded to get moving is by running the console command "setpos", the problem there is that it doesnt affect the z coordinates, so i just run through stairs/ramps instead of going up.. thats kind of logical cause it just ports me to the given x y coords an z stays 0 ..

i tryd it with SetVelocity and/or SetForwardSpeed but i always get nil values.. and i didnt find anything how to use the CMoveData properly..

can one of you maybe explain me either how CMoveData works or lead me into any direction? as you see im a real newb..

btw im running the script in /lua/autorun/client/

thanks
numu

and here the code i got so far:

require("oosocks")

local move_con = OOSock(IPPROTO_UDP);

move_con:SetCallback(function(socket, callType, callId, err, data, peer, peerPort)
    if(callType == SCKCALL_BIND && err == SCKERR_OK) then
        print("Bound.");
        move_con:ReceiveDatagram();
    end
     
    if(callType == SCKCALL_REC_DATAGRAM && err == SCKERR_OK) then
		
		local stringedm = tostring(data) 
		local StringNodes = string.Explode(" ", stringedm) 
		
		x = string.sub(StringNodes[1], 1, 3)
		y = string.sub(StringNodes[2], 1, 3)
		r = string.sub(StringNodes[3], 1, 3)
		
		SetPos( x, y, r )
		
		move_con:ReceiveDatagram();
    end
end);


function SetPos( x, y, r )
	RunConsoleCommand("setpos", x, y)
	RunConsoleCommand("setang", 0, r)
	return true
end 




move_con:Bind("localhost", 7777);

here s a little video about what im doing

[video=youtube;Bp2Figk5GAo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp2Figk5GAo[/video]

it accually DOES work to walk the ramp just by using Setpos... but if you move a little too fast it doesnt..

id really appreciate anyhelp i can get, im trying to build a VR room with headtracking etc...

Use the Move hooks instead, to override the movement in general.

hey, thanks for the reply

could you just write a little example how it should work ? as i said, i always got nil values, also with the move hook..
the only reference i find on those hooks is this:

If you wanted, you could probably do this 100% client side with a CreateMove hook.
