Im making a swep that shoots rockets at a target from the sky (Kinda like artillery) but at the moment I cant figure out how to change the angle that the rockets come in from.

Edit:
I tried contributing :D didnt really work out.

Well you set your rocket's position to somewhere in the sky right? Try setting the rocket's angles as well.

Get the world position of the target (probably just use your eye trace for this) and then in a parenthetical statement, subtract the origin vector of the "rocket spot" in your skybox from it. Then, convert the resulting vector into an angle, and use the SetAngles method on your rocket so it points in the right direction. Then, multiply the amount of velocity to be applied to the rocket by the rocket's directional vector, obtainable by using GetAngles():Forward() or simply by using a normalized version of the directional vector you calculated earlier.

basically, you need
YourRocketObject:SetAngles((TargetPosition - RocketOrigin):Angle())
YourRocketObject:SetVelocity( 420 * YourRocketObject:GetAngles():Forward() )

and that should do the trick.

Here is the tool to manage a 0.0.0 version... Pretty simple and straight forward, but may be useful for those learning to work with Shell / Batch files such as making "helper" Batch files to handle a specific task instead of over complicating the main script. I haven't done a whole lot with Batch before, so I'm sure some of the things I did could be done differently or better in some way. It'll be a project I'm learning on and releasing for those wanting a version control system without needing to manually find and edit the txt each time.
[url]https://bitbucket.org/Acecool/version-updater-tool[/url] + SourceTree is a good combo.

If you spot anything that sucks, or could be done better, please let me know! ( File manipulation I'm sure there are other ways, using pipe may not be the best method [ for one it is slow, but the only way I figured out how to write a stripped/trimmed string to the file ] ).

[QUOTE=MadParakeet;46168424]I also have this wonderful, cringe-worthy snippet I wrote because I couldn't figure out how to get the worldspawn (or any other) CBaseEntity:

        IPhysicsEnvironment* env = source_physics->GetActiveEnvironmentByIndex(0);


        int obj_count;


        const IPhysicsObject** objects = env->GetObjectList(&obj_count);


        CBaseEntity* ownerEnt=NULL;


        for (int i = 0; i < obj_count; i++) {
            CBaseEntity* ent = (CBaseEntity*)objects[i]->GetGameData();
            if (ent != NULL && strcmp(ent->GetClassname(), "worldspawn") == 0) {
                ownerEnt = ent;
                break;
            }
        }

Is this a lua module? If so you can use a lua modules dll as a source plugin dll at the same time. Take a look at mp/src/utils/serverplugin_sample/serverplugin_empty.cpp and implement it into your lua module then you can create a vdf to load it as a source plugin. Keep in mind source plugins only load on srcds dedicateds. This is how I get access to all of the interfaces in my modules easily.

Then with the engine interface you can use PEntityOfEntIndex to get the edict of an entity by index which can be converted into a cbaseentity with.

edict_t *ent = engine->PEntityOfEntIndex( int );
IServerUnknown *unk = ent->GetUnknown();
if( unk ){
    CBaseEntity *ent = unk->GetBaseEntity();
}

And since worldspawn is (always?) 0 it should work how you want. And maybe faster.

Does anyone know how to pose the viewmodel hands without making a completely new model? If so, I'll totally make one. I'll also make cigarettes that work the same way.

Another useful function

local function tableToString( tbl, encloseKeys, alignValues, args )
	
	if not encloseKeys then
		encloseKeys = false
	end
	
	if not alignValues then
		alignValues = false
	end
	
	if not args then
		args = {}
	end
	
	if not args.name then
		for k, v in pairs( _G ) do
			if v == tbl and k then
				args.name = k
				break
			end
		end
		
		if not args.name then
			for i = 1, 10000 do
				local k, v = debug.getlocal( 2, i, 1 )
				if v == tbl and k then
					args.name = "local " .. k
					break
				end
			end
			
			if not args.name then
				args.name = "local myTable"
			end
		end
	end
	
	local s = ""
	
	if not args.padding then
		args.padding = 0
	elseif args.padding > 0 then
		s = string.rep( "\t", args.padding )
	end
	
	if not args.l then
		args.l = {}
		args.l[args.padding] = 0
	end
	
	s = s .. args.name
	
	if alignValues then
		s = s .. string.rep( " " , args.l[args.padding] - args.name:len() )
	end
	
	s = s .. " = "
	
	local tv = type( tbl )
	
	if tv == "table" then
		
		local function pairsSortedByKeys( t )
			local t2 = {}
			
			for k,v in pairs( t ) do
				table.insert( t2, k )
			end
			
			table.sort( t2,
				function( a, b )
					local na, nb = tonumber( a ), tonumber( b )
					if na and nb then
						return na < nb
					end
					return tostring( a ) < tostring( b )
				end
			)
			
			local iter, s, i, k = ipairs( t2 )
			
			return function()
				i, k = iter( s, i )
				if not i then
					return nil
				end
				return k, t[k]
			end
		end

		local padding = string.rep( "\t", args.padding )
		s = s .. "\n" .. padding .. "{\n"
		args.padding = args.padding + 1
		
		for k, v in pairs( tbl ) do
			local nk = tonumber( k )
			local sk = tostring( k )
			local l = nk and ("[" .. sk .. "]"):len() or ( ( encloseKeys or sk:find(" ") ) and ("[\"" .. sk .. "\"]"):len() or sk:len() )
			
			if l > (args.l[args.padding] or 0) then
				args.l[args.padding] = l
			end
		end
		
		for k, v in pairsSortedByKeys( tbl ) do
			local nk = tonumber( k )
			local sk = tostring( k )
			args.name = nk and ("[" .. sk .. "]") or ( ( encloseKeys or sk:find(" ") ) and ("[\"" .. sk .. "\"]") or sk )
			s =  s .. tableToString( v, encloseKeys, alignValues, args ) .. ",\n"
		end

		args.padding = args.padding - 1
		s = s .. padding .. "}"
		
	elseif tv == "number" or tv == "boolean" or tonumber( tbl ) then
		s = s .. tostring( tbl )
		
	elseif tv == "string" then
		s = s .. string.format( "%q", tbl )
		
	else
		local sv = tostring( tbl )
		s = s .. ( sv and sv or ("\"[" .. tv .. "]\"") )
	end
	
	return s
end

The output string can be directly copy/pasted into a Lua script, or loadstring'ed. It's not perfect but it will suffice in most (simple) cases ;)

Here is a demo of its usage and ouput: [url]http://codepad.org/TBjyrv56[/url]

[Grocel]

I was working on my [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1383796"]radio[/URL] today and noticed by accident that some formats such as aac+ or mp4a does get played by BASS if the channel doesn't have 3D sound enabled while they don't if 3D is enabled. So as it seems format support is depending on that 3D option.

Now I added a fallback beside other stuff to the radio, which retries to play a stream without 3D when the 3D one fails with error code 41 (unsupported format). So it plays fragradio.co.uk which is streamed in mp4a in semi 3D now.

[QUOTE=DEFCON1;46178036]Another useful function[/QUOTE]Nice work, you could also use luadata for this, it has support for pretty much everything (vectors, angles, colors) etc., too.

Only thing it lacks is the unenclosed keys and an option for manual padding
