Observer Commands?

[Volt Cruelerz]

Possible to snap to flag carrier(s)? The T:A spec tools are honestly pretty awesome. So if you could bring any features from that over to Legions it'd be pretty cool.

1. Snap to player by look at them.
2. Scroll wheel adjusts camera speed.
3. Holding F+clicking snaps to flag carrier. Doing the same with R would snap to the fastest player.
4. Z turns off the HUD completely(likely already a script for that)

The player info box would be sorta cool as well. It wasn't really needed in the past, but with the inclusion of Cores it could be handy know which one each player has equipped.

1. figured out how to do this
2. should be possible
3. if a function doesn't already exist, you could scan through players and check their inventory for the flag. If they have it, stop scanning and follow. If not, keep going.
4. there's already a keybinding for this in Legions. It's just not set to anything by default

Actually its already in the game just needs to be bound to a key

3. if a function doesn't already exist, you could scan through players and check their inventory for the flag. If they have it, stop scanning and follow. If not, keep going.

Even simpler than this since the game keeps track of the carriers:

%this.flagCarrier[0] = -1;
%this.flagCarrier[1] = -1;

That's in the setup function for CtfGame (so %this is CtfGame).

Also, thanks for all the ideas! I'll see to adding them once the main part of observer mode is complete and functional.

So calling CtfGame.flagCarrier[0] would return the player that is the alpha flag carrier or the beta carrier?

 

[Belberith]

0 is always Alpha for every team-related index and 1 is Beta.

 

[Volt Cruelerz]

I know that, but I'm asking is it going by the teamIndex of the flag or the player?

 

[Belberith]

Oh, ok. Sorry, I understand what you mean now. It refers to the teamIndex of the flag, so CtfGame.flagCarrier[0] would store the player holding the alpha flag.

 

[RockeyRex]

Yeah all this was done till somewhere in the middle of reconstruction of our repo I managed to lose all files that I had modified on my end.

Oh, ok. Sorry, I understand what you mean now. It refers to the teamIndex of the flag, so CtfGame.flagCarrier[0] would store the player holding the alpha flag.

so, whenever I type in commandtoserver('observeclient', CtfGame.flagCarrier[0]) it don't do anything....

 

[RockeyRex]

Server side data that.

 

[Application-1]

I want to see enemy/team health, all that really misses from it.

I know, I was referring to a full TorqueScript Reference such as the one found here:

Server side data that.

Yes, it needs to be server side. Also, when you want to reference the main game object, you use Game. If the server is running CTF, Game will refer automatically to CtfGame. One other thing is that the parameter needs to be a client, so you need to say Game.flagCarrier[0].client. This won't work if the flag is not being carried, though, since flagCarrier will be set to -1. (But if you say commandtoserver('ObserveFlag', 0); either the flag or whoever has the flag will be followed.)

Oh. Sorry, that was the link I got it from a while ago. But there are lots of downloads out there, just Google one.

Edit: Here's one. Found it in a couple of minutes.

THANK YOU FOR THE OBSERVE FLAG CODE, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

 

[Belberith]

Haha you're welcome, but it's all there for you to find in the .cs files.

yah, found it, couldn't really figure out what it was...

either way, this was one of the biggest problems I had to overcome, now that it is overcome, I can focus on the 2 other things that I need to add:

Spoiler

Fastest Player Finder
Player Loadout

[Volt Cruelerz]

Presuming that everything else is correct, $="RocketLauncher"
