Development on the plugin is going strong. We now have the ability to use the IEffects class:
- Beam:
- Start (Vector)
- End (Vector)
- nModelIndex (index - use GameEngine.PrecacheModel)
- mHaloIndex (index - use GameEngine.PrecacheModel)
- frameStart (integer)
- frameRate (integer)
- flLife (float - seconds for the beam to remain)
- width (integer)
- endWidth (integer)
- fadeLength (integer)
- noise (integer)
- red (integer 0-255)
- green (integer 0-255)
- blue (integer 0-255)
- brightness (integer 0-255)
- speed
- Dust:
- pos (Vector - position of the dust)
- dir (Vector - direction of the dust)
- size (float)
- speed (float)
- EnergySplash:
- position (Vector)
- direction (Vector)
- bExplosive (bool)
- MetalSparks:
- position (Vector)
- direction (Vector)
- MuzzleFlash:
- vecOrigin (Vector)
- vecAngles (Vector)
- flScale (float)
- iType (integer)
- Ricochet:
- position (Vector)
- direction (Vector)
- Smoke:
- origin (Vector)
- modelIndex (index - use GameEngine.PrecacheModel)
- scale (float)
- framerate (float)
- Sparks:
- position (Vector)
- nMagnitude (integer)
- nTrailLength (integer)
- pvecDir (Vector - direction)
Here is a simple DeathBeam script I tried out:
Syntax: Select all
# =============================================================================
# >> IMPORTS
# =============================================================================
# Source.Python Imports
from Source import Misc
from Source import Player
# Core
from core import GameEngine
# Events
from events.decorator import Event
# =============================================================================
# >> GLOBAL VARIABLES
# =============================================================================
effects = Misc.GetEffects()
model = GameEngine.PrecacheModel('sprites/laserbeam.vmt')
# =============================================================================
# >> GAME EVENTS
# =============================================================================
@Event
def player_death(GameEvent):
victim = Player.PlayerOfUserid(GameEvent.GetInt('userid'))
killer = Player.PlayerOfUserid(GameEvent.GetInt('attacker'))
green = 0
if killer.GetTeamIndex() == 2:
red = 255
blue = 0
else:
red = 0
blue = 255
effects.Beam(victim.GetAbsOrigin(), killer.GetAbsOrigin(),
model, model, 0, 0, 20.0, 1, 1, 0, 0, red, green, blue, 255, 0)
Here is a pic of the results of that script:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970633142/screenshot/558698452561908099?tab=publicDo note, though, that while this is currently in the Misc structure, it will be moved out once we decide how to move forward with the structure on the C++ side. For future updates, if any functionality is in Misc, it is there for an undetermined time until it gets moved out, but it will be moved out at some point. If you create a script that uses Misc, be sure to keep up-to-date, so you know when you need to modify your script.
Note also, that the script above takes advantage of more new functionality available to us as of the latest updates. You can now use Player.PlayerOfUserid(<userid>) to get a userid's IPlayerInfo instance, Player.EdictOfUserid(<userid>) to get a userid's entity edict, and Player.PlayerOfIndex(<index>) to get a player's IPlayerInfo from their index.

Do you have that sprite file?

You do not need that specific sprite on the server. It is located, for clients, in their pak01_dir.vpk file, if you wish to reference it.

Okay but somehow it doesnt really work for me if i want to test it.

I have been having 1 issue with it, but I cannot figure out what is causing it. If "I" kill someone, the beam does not show, but if anyone else gets a kill, it shows. This is tested with just me vs bots, not sure if that has anything to do with it either.

Be sure to note that
Syntax: Select all
model = GameEngine.PrecacheModel('sprites/laserbeam.vmt')will crash the game if you load this before a map has loaded completly (for example having sp load <plugin> in autoexec.cfg) you will have to use something like this for precaching model for clients not to crash:
Syntax: Select all
from events import Event
model = None
@Event
def server_spawn(GameEvent):
global model
model = GameEngine.PrecacheModel('sprites/laserbeam.vmt')
#Be sure this can be only be called after map load such as player_say or another player_ event
#that way it will be save to precache if not already precached.
def beam(<example>):
global model
if model is None:
model = GameEngine.PrecacheModel('sprites/laserbeam.vmt')
effects.Beam(victim.GetAbsOrigin(), killer.GetAbsOrigin(),
model, model, 0, 0, 20.0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0)

Effects also unavailable for current build?

No, they are available since a long time.
https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/blob/master/addons/source-python/packages/source-python/effects/__init__.pyThere are two effect classes you can use: Effects and TempEntities
TempEntities also gives you the possibility to specify users who should see the effects.

Also note that this thread is two years old. A lot has changed in the plugin since then. Pretty much none of the examples above work with the current version of the plugin.

Syntax: Select all
from engines.server import EngineServer
from effects import Effects
from events import Event
from players.entity import PlayerEntity
from players.helpers import index_from_userid
@Event
def player_hurt(game_event):
model = EngineServer.precache_model('sprites/laserbeam.vmt')
userid = game_event.get_int('userid')
attacker = game_event.get_int('attacker')
pos1 = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(userid)).location
pos2 = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(attacker)).location
Effects.beam(pos1, pos2, model, model, 0, 0, 20.0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 0, 255, 255, 0)
Just nothing happens.

A player's origin (location) is at their feet. If both players are on the ground and at the same altitude, the beam will essentially be in the ground. Try increasing the z value of the vectors by 20 and see what that does.

I just tested it, you are right. What happens if you try this?
Syntax: Select all
from engines.server import EngineServer
from effects import Effects
from events import Event
from players.entity import PlayerEntity
from players.helpers import index_from_userid
@Event
def player_hurt(game_event):
model = EngineServer.precache_model('sprites/laserbeam.vmt')
userid = game_event.get_int('userid')
attacker = game_event.get_int('attacker')
pos1 = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(userid)).location
pos2 = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(attacker)).location
#Effects.beam(pos1, pos2, model, model, 0, 0, 20.0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 0, 255, 255, 0)
from listeners.tick.delays import TickDelays
TickDelays.delay(0, Effects.beam, pos1, pos2, model, model, 0, 0, 20.0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 255, 0, 255, 255, 0)

It works now.

Okay, but this is obviously a bug. We will look into this issue.
