I'm really, really, really confused. I'm trying to set a var in the cgame module everytime you die...
player_die:
Code:
PM_AddEvent(EV_RESET_ZOOM);

CG_EntityEvent:
Code:
case EV_RESET_ZOOM:
      DEBUGNAME("EV_RESET_ZOOM");
      if ( es->number == cg.snap->ps.clientNum ) {
         cg.zoomed= qfalse;
      }
      break;

Result: Everytime you kill someone or die yourself, zoom will be reset. What's bugging me is, it's the same as EV_NOAMMO:
Code:
PM_AddEvent( EV_NOAMMO );

Code:
   case EV_NOAMMO:
      DEBUGNAME("EV_NOAMMO");
//      trap_S_StartSound (NULL, es->number, CHAN_AUTO, cgs.media.noAmmoSound );
      if ( es->number == cg.snap->ps.clientNum ) {
         CG_OutOfAmmoChange();
      }
      break;

And the outofammochange obviously works :confused:

Simple test to check if the event is received: set cg.zoomed = qfalse unconditionally.

Uh, the problem is, it IS set to qfalse... it should be set to false everytime you die but not if you kill someone.

Then I'm not quite getting the problem, I fear. How and what are you trying to accomplish and what is bugging it?

Okay, okay:
When you die, cg.zoomed should be set to qfalse. So I've placed the PM_AddEvent line into player_die, and cgame should set cg.zoomed to qfalse.
The problem:
If you kill someone, player_die is run... and your zoom is reset though YOU didn't die. That's why there's the
Code:
if ( es->number == cg.snap->ps.clientNum )

line, but it doesn't seem to do anything, which is strange coz it's the same as with CG_NoAmmoChange... (CG_NoAmmoChange obviously changes YOUR weapon and not someone else's...)

Code:
G_AddEvent(self, EV_RESET_ZOOM, 0);

Code:
case EV_RESET_ZOOM:
      DEBUGNAME("EV_RESET_ZOOM");
      //if ( cent->currentState.number == cg.snap->ps.clientNum )
         cg.zoomed= qfalse;
      break;

doesn't work, too :offended:

By adding the below code, cgame will zoom out when the active player dies. EV_OBITUARY is sent everytime a player dies so clients can show death messages.

Code:
   case EV_OBITUARY:
      DEBUGNAME("EV_OBITUARY");
+      // check for death of the current clientNum
+      if ( es->otherEntityNum == cg.snap->ps.clientNum ) {
+         // if zoomed in, zoom out
+         CG_ZoomUp_f();
+      }
      CG_Obituary( es );
      break;


The above code was written by myself and may be used in the GPL or Q3 SDK source code.
