Bubbles

[Rawing]

Got a problem. My bubbles can't be prevented from moving through walls :/ Anyone can tell me what I've to do to make 'em solid? There are no contents or such for localents, bounceFactor= 0 didn't do anything, the bloodtrail isn't even moving so I can't copy that
Second thing is: can I make them disappear if they move out of the water?

[Silicone_Milk]

Like machinegun/shotgun bubbles and such?

Are you using a single brush for the water?

[Rawing]

yup, those bubbles =)
and well, I don't think it'll be possible to use a single water brush in maps that are more like... complex (=

[Silicone_Milk]

I was actually going to suggest using multiple brushes if you were just using one.

The bubbles are actually hopping across several brushes?

[Rawing]

Well, they got a random movement like 5*crandom() and an upwards movement like 30+5*crandom(), so yes, they could move from one brush into another.

[Silicone_Milk]

I don't remember the code at all. Do they spawn as a centity or something? I thought they were constrained to the dimensions of the liquid brush they spawned in.

[Rawing]

Nah, they aren't centities, they're local ents...

Code: Select all

localEntity_t	*le;
		refEntity_t		*re;

		le = CG_AllocLocalEntity();
		le->leFlags = LEF_PUFF_DONT_SCALE;
		le->leType = LE_MOVE_SCALE_FADE;
		le->startTime = cg.time;
		le->endTime = cg.time + 100000;
		le->lifeRate = 1.0 / ( le->endTime - le->startTime );

		re = &le->refEntity;
		re->shaderTime = cg.time / 1000.0f;

		re->reType = RT_SPRITE;
		re->rotation = 0;
		re->radius = 4-(int)(3*crandom());
		re->customShader = cgs.media.waterBubbleShader;
		re->shaderRGBA[0] = 0xff;
		re->shaderRGBA[1] = 0xff;
		re->shaderRGBA[2] = 0xff;
		re->shaderRGBA[3] = 0xff;

		le->color[3] = 1.0;

		le->pos.trType = TR_LINEAR;
		le->pos.trTime = cg.time;
		VectorCopy( move, le->pos.trBase );
		le->pos.trDelta[0] = crandom()*5;
		le->pos.trDelta[1] = crandom()*5;
		le->pos.trDelta[2] = crandom()*5 + 30;

		VectorAdd (move, vec, move);

and there's nothing like contentmask/ contents for localents :/

EDIT: just realized that bouncefactor and bouncesound are used with LE_FRAGMENTs only... I'll check it out.

[Silicone_Milk]

Ah I see. Any progress so far?

[Rawing]

Nope, been busy with school (: I'll look into it today or tomorrow.

[Rawing]

Here we go.
changing the leType to LE_FRAGMENT resulted in invisible/no bubbles
It seems to need a model like the body parts when you're gibbed :/ (?)
If nothing else works, I'll try making a CG_AddBubble func, but I'm hoping I won't have to
