Is it possible to fire Explode at entity env_explosion?

I tried to use explosion from TempEntities, but it looks very different from the env_explosion one.

Syntax: Select all

from effects import TempEntities
from engines.server import EngineServer
from events import Event
from filters.recipients import RecipientFilter
from mathlib import Vector
from players.helpers import playerinfo_from_userid

@Event
def player_say(event):
    userid = event.get_int('userid')
    text = event.get_string('text')

    if text == 'run':
        info = playerinfo_from_userid(userid)
        position = info.get_abs_origin()

        TempEntities.explosion(RecipientFilter(), 0.0, position, -1, 0.0, 0, 8, 150, 400, Vector(), 67)

How to make TempEntities.explosion particles and the "black circle on the ground" like in env_explosion? And for some reason it doesn't make any damage to player...

TempEntities.explosion() is not doing any damage, because the method really just creates the effect. You will have to add the damage on your own.

Oops... I need to sleep more

How to create a black circle on the ground like env_explosion has?

TempEntities.explosion() accepts a "flags" argument somewhere in its prototype accepting the following TE_EXPFLAG_* flags: https://github.com/alliedmodders/hl2sdk/blob/sdk2013/game/shared/tempentity.h

Now that we moved to python 3.4, I will wrap them at some point.

EDIT: Well, from memory, there was a flag to prints the decal or not but I just checked twice and this flag is not for this effect but for the env_explosion entity itself (as spawnflags). That or the flag is accepted as a member of a DispatchEffectInfo (or whatever I ended up calling this type on the python side). I tried to help, but from my smartphone ot's not that easy hehe. Will do some testing when I get the chance.
