Lines - Yamato - 01-17-2012

Hello, OMA

Another tutorial, this time is about the use of the line command, first of all you need this dvars and files in your mod:

Code:
self setClientDvars( "developer", 1, "developer_script", 1 );
common_scripts\_painter.gsc

If you dont have _painter.gsc, click on the link:

To spawn a line you can make it work like this:

Code:
line( start point, end point, ( red, green, blue ), time);

I recomend using a loop to make the line constant (then you dont need the time value), an example:

Code:
Lines()
{
	self endon( "death" );
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	while( 1 )
	{
		line( self.origin + ( 0, 0, 10 ), self.origin + anglestoforward( self.angles ) * 5000, ( randomfloat( 1 ), randomfloat( 1 ), randomfloat( 1 ) ) );
		wait 0.05;
	}
}

That example of there will spawn a constant line of random colours at your front. You can make many different things with lines, just use your imagination, Tongue

. I would like to give a big thanks to @iAegle for saying the exact file I needed to put on the mod (previously I had to put the whole common scripts folder to get it working).

Thats it, OMA

Huh why do you need _painter? Also line() needs developer_script? - Good job

A line is a line, do you need a screenshot of a line? Huh

RE: Lines - iAegle - 01-17-2012

It needs developer script because of the Line command, it just doesn't work without. Also if you don't want to use the _painter.gsc .. maybe its loaded in one of the gsc files, just remove the line :p
