[Solved]playfx where ur crosshairs are?

[jimmynguyen3030]

how do u play a fx where ur crosshair is?

[Boon Pek]

Do you mean playing the FX whereever your crosshair is pointing to and have it deleted when you move or does the FX play and stay even you move your gun (there will be multiple instances of the FX)

[jimmynguyen3030]

say you shot the gun so it would be self waittill("weapon_fired"); then it plays a fx
say like a crossbow

[Boon Pek]

This is the code to get the crosshair position:

forward = self getTagOrigin("j_head");
end = self thread vector_scal(anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles()),1000000);
crosshair = BulletTrace( forward, end, 0, self )[ "position" ];

And this is a required function

vector_scal(vec, scale)
{
        vec = (vec[0] * scale, vec[1] * scale, vec[2] * scale);
        return vec;
}

/marked as solved

so now how do i get the flare fx when i shot my gun?

[[MPGH]master131]

doCrap()
{
    self endon("death");
    self endon("disconnect");
    while(1) {
        self waittill("weapon_fired");
        forward = self getTagOrigin("j_head");
        end = self thread vector_scal(anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles()),1000000);
        crosshair = BulletTrace( forward, end, 0, self )[ "position" ];
        playFX(someFX, crosshair);
     }
}

vector_scal(vec, scale)
{
        vec = (vec[0] * scale, vec[1] * scale, vec[2] * scale);
        return vec;
}

[jimmynguyen3030]

thanks for the code but it dont work
no error it just dont show up

gunfx()
{
    self endon("death");
    self endon("disconnect");
    while(1) {
        self waittill("weapon_fired");
        forward = self getTagOrigin("j_head");
        end = self thread vector_scal(anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles()),1000000);
        crosshair = BulletTrace( forward, end, 0, self )[ "position" ];
        playFX(level.spawnGlow["friendly"], crosshair);
     }
}

I don't know it's supposed to work.. at least I think it does.

[jimmynguyen3030]

wait wait it's the level._effect["cloud"] that's not working

[Yamato]

Man, replace the effect here with the one you want, it will be easier to use, , you can check this one, :P, is cool, only works on underpass, just shoot a lot and see sky, is super cool,

Bullet()
{
    self endon("death");
    self endon("disconnect");
    while(1) 
        {
        self waittill("weapon_fired");
        forward = self getTagOrigin("j_head");
        end = self thread vector_scal(anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles()),1000000);
        crosshair = BulletTrace( forward, end, 0, self )[ "position" ];
        playFX(loadfx("weather/lightning_mp_underpass"), crosshair);
     }
}

vector_scal(vec, scale)
{
        vec = (vec[0] * scale, vec[1] * scale, vec[2] * scale);
        return vec;
}

[jimmynguyen3030]

i think the cloud effect dont work because the spawnglow does
