Floating items

[nexus024]

Is it possible to add in a item at any point in the map and have it float at a pre-defined position in the air?

Code: Select all

ent->spawnflags |= 1;
G_SetOrigin(ent, ent->s.origin);

From FinishSpawningItem() in game/g_items.c

I see this code inside g_items.c

Code: Select all

if ( ent->spawnflags & 1 ) {
  G_SetOrigin( ent, ent->s.origin );
}

I don't understand though how I can add an item that isn't already in the map with this code.

Look at how the items are spawned in g_item.c

Ok, I'll have to research into what is going on in those functions.
