Attempting to make hats for a gamemode, they seem to be backwards.

[Carmine3777]

I'm trying to make hats but my test hat is upside down and is going opposite of the way it should be moving. I'm not too good with angles so I don't know where to start.

[lua]_PlayerHat = ClientsideModel("models/player/items/heavy/heavy_ushanka.mdl")
_PlayerHat:SetNoDraw(true)

hook.Add("PostPlayerDraw", "hats", function(ply)
local Bone = ply:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1")
local BonePos = ply:GetBonePosition( Bone )
local _Hat = _PlayerHat
_Hat:SetModel("models/player/items/heavy/heavy_ushanka.mdl")
_Hat:SetPos(BonePos + Vector(0, 0, 10))
_Hat:SetAngles(ply:EyeAngles() + Angle(0, 0, 180))
_Hat:SetColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
_Hat:DrawModel()
end)[/lua]

nevermind, it was SetAngles that was causing it, it was set to 180.

lock this please

You might need to adjust the angles even further to make the hat fit perfectly:

[lua]
local Bone = ply:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1")
local BonePos, BoneAng = ply:GetBonePosition( Bone )
BoneAng:RotateAroundAxis(BoneAng:Right(), 90)
BoneAng:RotateAroundAxis(BoneAng:Forward(), 45)
_Hat:SetAngles(BoneAng)
[/lua]

He already fixed it, 5 hours before you posted..

[_nonSENSE]

It was a suggestion to improve his current code after he fixed it. That's why I said [b]even further[/b] and [b]make the hat fit perfectly[/b]. Please learn to read and / or stop finding things to cry about. Better yet, take another vacation. Preferably a permanent one.

He doesn't need you're advice. :wink:

You're right, it does fall off when I look all the way down. When I look up or straight it fits perfect.

Heh, I did state in my post that this code is just pseudo code.. I didn't expect anyone to use it.

As I said in my post in the other thread, you would be better off using this code:

[lua]
local Hats = {}

Hats["models/myhat.mdl"] = ClientsideModel("models/myhat.mdl")
Hats["models/anotherhat.mdl"] = ClientsideModel("models/anotherhat.mdl")

for _, hat in pairs(Hats) do
hat:SetNoDraw(true)
end

hook.Add("PostPlayerDraw", "", function(ply)
if ply._Hat then
local _Hat = Hats[ply._Hat.Model]
_Hat:SetPos(ply:GetPos()) -- and of course offsets
_Hat:SetColor(ply._Hat.Color) -- do all sorts..
_Hat:DrawModel()
end
end)
[/lua]

hmm... would you care to explain how I would set the hat for a player?

No [b]you are[/b] advice.

[Carmine3777]

Enough with the jokes, now how would I set the hat for a player? I'm guessing I have to use something like ply._Hat = "models/player/items/heavy/heavy_ushanka.mdl" to set it.

damn :ninja:

[Carmine3777]

doesn't seem to work...

[lua]local CHats = {}

CHats["models/player/items/heavy/heavy_ushanka.mdl"] = ClientsideModel("models/player/items/heavy/heavy_ushanka.mdl")
CHats["models/error.mdl"] = ClientsideModel("models/error.mdl")

for _, hat in pairs(CHats) do
hat:SetNoDraw(true)
end

hook.Add("PostPlayerDraw", "HATS", function(ply)
local Bone = ply:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1")
local BonePos = ply:GetBonePosition( Bone )
if ply._Hat then
local _Hat = CHats[ply._Hat.Model]
_Hat:SetPos(BonePos + Vector(0, 0, 0))
_Hat:SetAngles(ply:EyeAngles() + Angle(0, 0, 0))
_Hat:SetColor(ply._Hat.Color)
_Hat:DrawModel()
end
end)[/lua]

[lua]p._Hat = {Model = Hats[i].model, Color = Color(255,255,255,255)}
p:ChatPrint("You put on: "..Hats[i].name)[/lua]

It does print "You put on: Officer's Ushanka" but I don't see anything on my head.

[editline]20th October 2010[/editline]

I'm assuming you have to set it clientside, right?

[editline]20th October 2010[/editline]

Is there any more efficient way to do it than making a usermessage hook for every hat?

[notRzilla]

Ofc you have to set it client side, just use a usermessage to send this to clients.

[QUOTE=notRzilla;25549404]Ofc you have to set it client side, just use a usermessage to send this to clients.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I just used a table then used for k,v in pairs() do to make usermessages and CModels for every one. Also, when I was playing with my friends, I asked if I had a hat on and they said no. I went into third person mode and I had the hat on but they cant see it. Any suggestions?

[Loures]

I've had this problem too.
