Hi, I'm a newbie with Commercial Version.
I've been trying all morning to figure out how to shoot, but I cna't get the "bullet" to ignore the player model. Also, if the bullets are shot in a straight line, the stick to each other. UHG.

I've read AUM and followed some of the tuts--but, I can't seem to get it working.
Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks.

Are the player and gun models seperate? Or is it like a first person POV with only the gun visible out in front?

Also, are the bullets sticking to eachother in the air, or are they "stacking up" as they impact the wall? If they stack up on the wall, simply code the bullet to stop when it hits a wall and become passable. Stop the bullet BEFORE it becomes passable or it will just continue to move through the wall.

Actually it's a character throwing a stone.

I managed to get it kind of working. I created a "remove_stone" function that makes it passable/invisible/ent_remove. I also made the alpha fade out after a certain amount of time and if the alpha reached "0" , just call the remove function again. It's all really messy actually...

Is there a way to make the stone ignore the character that's throwing it?

I can show you my code if you think that would help. I would like to make it look a little bit more realistic.

there is a mode for c_move called ignore_you, but i dont think that this is what you are looking for because the stone will ignore all yous. try making the stone passable for like 1 second when it leaves the player's hand then become solid again.

You can try adding the ignore_you in the mode , and after on the next line you can put
you=player; , before the move , heres an example of how I have done for a similar thing ,

vec_scale(temp,movement_scale); // scale distance by movement_scale
move_mode = ignore_you + ignore_push + ignore_passable + ignore_maps;
you=player;
result = ent_move(nullskill,temp);

Hope it helps.

I'll give it shot. Thanks you two. I also started the stone position a little bit ahead of the character ( so they are not touching ). That seems to help too...

..and yeah. I tried "ignore_you". But, I had not so good results.

Thanks again.

the reason u didnt have good results with ignore_you, im guessing, is because during the collision, the you is set to whatever the stone strikes so it doesnt work well its kinda like a collision oxymoron, if you set the YOU to player (you=player as he said) then the you that is ignored is the player see?

I think I get it. LOL
So just assign "you = player". In my case it would be the "hero" entity.
So it would be, "you = hero". Does this work the same with "c_move"? I noticed the use of "ent_move" in the example above. I am using c_move...

Thanks for all your help!
