ESF Knockback help

[tuty]

So, i'm trying to do a knockback, but works only if players aren't flying, if they are in the air wont work. Could you tell me how to fix it?

stock UTIL_KnockBack( id, Float:flRadius, Float:flSpeed )
{
	new Float:flEntityOrigin[ 3 ];
    	pev( id, pev_origin, flEntityOrigin );
    
    	new iClient = FM_NULLENT, Float:flClientOrigin[ 3 ];
	new Float:flDistance, Float:flVelocity[ 3 ], Float:flCalcSpeed;

    	while( ( iClient = engfunc( EngFunc_FindEntityInSphere, iClient, flEntityOrigin, flRadius ) ) )
    	{
        	if( IsPlayer( iClient ) && is_user_alive( iClient ) && esf_get_team( id ) != esf_get_team( iClient ) )
		{
			pev( iClient, pev_origin, flClientOrigin );

       			flDistance = get_distance_f( flEntityOrigin, flClientOrigin );
			flCalcSpeed = flSpeed * ( 1.0 - ( flDistance / flRadius ) );

			if( flDistance <= flRadius )
			{
       				get_speed_vector2( id, iClient, flCalcSpeed, flVelocity );
				set_pev( iClient, pev_velocity, flVelocity );
			}
    		}
	}
}
stock get_speed_vector2(ent1, ent2, Float:speed, Float:new_velocity[3])
{
	if(!pev_valid(ent1) || !pev_valid(ent2))
		return 0;

	static Float:origin1[3]
	pev(ent1,pev_origin,origin1)
	static Float:origin2[3]
	pev(ent2,pev_origin,origin2)

	new_velocity[0] = origin2[0] - origin1[0]
	new_velocity[1] = origin2[1] - origin1[1]
	new_velocity[2] = origin2[2] - origin1[2]
	new Float:num = floatsqroot(speed*speed / (new_velocity[0]*new_velocity[0] + new_velocity[1]*new_velocity[1] + new_velocity[2]*new_velocity[2]))
	new_velocity[0] *= num
	new_velocity[1] *= num
	new_velocity[2] *= num

	return 1;
}

1.) prepare a knockback: if one of the conditions is true stop it: flying, turbo, swoop, powerup etc
2.) Set the movetype to MOVETYPE_PLAYERTOSS ( 2 ) and pev->gravity = 1
3.) set the desired knockback vector pev->vuser4 = Normalized(vecDirection)*Speed;

Haha, too much C++.

Haha, too much C++.

yup tooooooo much -.-

this ain't c++ this are just hint and tips where the data is if you seriously understood the language behind AMXX and the sample that you provided up there you should have no problem using my tip to get it working.

Nah, I just noticed your pev-> stuff, as that's how it's done in C++, not Pawn. I understood everything, not sure about tuty, though.

EDIT: May be lame to ask a non-related thing, but is it possible to add lightning sparks the way it's done in ESF Open Beta: Final? I mean, the way sparks follow the player.

since amxx only works serverside you only got two options, one would be update the origin as fast as possible server-side but even with the think function it will look like it's "lagging" other option is to create an entity and attach it to the player but, this could have a sprite assigned or a model, but either way it won't really look that good.

 

[hleV]

Thought so.

I wonder if aura model could be made with such sparks.
