Source.Python Dissolver!

[your-name-here]

Hi guys, just wanted to release a really simple plugin showcasing the entities and config APIs.

Current version: 1.0
Supported games: Counter-Strike: Source (may also work on CS:GO).
Description: This plugin causes player's ragdolls to dissolve on player death.

Configuration: The plugin creates a configuration file under <modname>/cfg/source-python/sp_dissolver.cfg. See the configuration file for a description of what you can change.

Nice!! I just tested and it does work for CS:GO. However, the effects are not the same. Actually, there is really no "effect" in the way of sparks/flashiness, but the entity does get removed.

Awesome! You could get it working on TF2 as well using tf_ragdoll on that game. Also, I wonder if EntityFlags.KEEP_ON_RECREATE_ENTITIES could be useful here.

Unfortunately, you have to recreate the dissolver every round because CSS strips everything. It does not look at the KEEP_ON_RECREATE_ENTITIES flag :P

Too bad, then. I noticed that flag yesterday and thought about it when I saw your comments about recreation.

Hello,

after install the plugin, I have this error :

The attachment dissolver.jpg is no longer available

Can you help me please?

Thanks

A lot has changed since this was released. I have a new version I will release soon that supports more games. I have already asked ynh if it was ok if I did, and he encouraged it. You can find the current version here:

Thanks satoon, it works

[Jerome69]

Is it possible to add a timer before dissolving, with a value in the cfg file?

Thanks

Put this to the imports in the header of dissolver.py:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners.tick import tick_delays

Change Line 123 to this:

Syntax: Select all

tick_delays.delay(<seconds>, dissolver_entity.dissolve, ragdoll_classname)

And replace <seconds> with the the number of seconds you want to delay the dissolving.

[satoon101]

I can add that to the plugin with a ConVar when I get the chance. Good suggestion, thank you.

[Jerome69]

I added this code in "Configuration"

Syntax: Select all

# Create the dissolver delay cvar
    dissolver_delay = _config.cvar(
        'delay', 2, ConVarFlags.NONE,'Delay before dissolving')

Put this to the imports in the header of dissolver.py:

Syntax: Select all

from listeners.tick import tick_delays

Change Line 123 to this:

Syntax: Select all

tick_delays.delay(<seconds>, dissolver_entity.dissolve, ragdoll_classname)

And replace <seconds> with the the number of seconds you want to delay the dissolving.

Done. I have replaced <seconds> by "dissolver_entity.dissolve_delay". But if I change the value in the cfg file (5, to have a long time to see the difference), it seems to don't work, it keeps 2 seconds...

And if two people are killed with an interval of 1 second, they are dissolved at the same moment.

Any idea?

[satoon101]

I will update the script to accommodate for that last issue. The dissolver entity dissolves using the entity classname/targetname. I will have to do some testing to make sure I do it right. Give me some time, though, as I am fairly busy for the next week or two.

For your first issue, you need to use dissolver_delay.get_int() to get the current value of the ConVar.

[Jerome69]

No problem, take your time

Tell us here when you do the upgrade.

[Jerome69]

Hello Satoon101,

I have this problem now :

The attachment Dissolver.jpg is no longer available

Can you resolve it please?

And if you can add a timer, it will be great

Thanks.

ConVar creation changes.

At least nobody can tell me we haven't documented all these changes.

[satoon101]

I will fix this shortly and create a new thread for my version.

[Jerome69]

I tried to make change but it doesn't work...

I will wait for your update and your own post satoon

[satoon101]

Sorry for the delay. I encountered something during my re-write which requires a bit of updating in SP itself. We are working on making those changes, then I will release the new version.
