Hi, i am creating a weapon shoot in the player action:

Code:

---

if (MY._weapon) 
{	
	if (my._FIRING_WEAPON == TRUE)
	{					
		vec_for_vertex (temp.x, MY._weapon, 1465); 			
		temp.z -= 0.3;				
		you = ent_create ("ball0.055.mdl", temp.x, projectile_function);
	}			
		my._FIRING_WEAPON = FALSE;
}

---

And then the projectile function:

Code:

---

function projectile_function()
{
	proc_late();
	
	 my.pan  = camera.pan; 
	 my.tilt = camera.tilt; 		
	var old_x;
	var old_y;
	var old_z;
		
	MY.scale_x = 3;
	MY.scale_y = 3;
	MY.scale_z = 3;
	
	my.enable_entity = ON;
	my.enable_block = ON;
	
	my._LIFE_SPAN = 300;
		
	my._FORCE_Y = 0;
	my._FORCE_X = 170 * time_step;
	my._FORCE_Z = 0;
	
	while (my._LIFE_SPAN != 0) 
	{	
		my._LIFE_SPAN -= 1;
		c_move (my, my._FORCE_X, nullvector, ignore_passable);
		my._FORCE_Z - = 0.5 * time_step;
		
		if( my.x != old_x || my.y != old_y || my.z != old_z)
		{
			old_x = my.x;
			old_y = my.y;
			old_z = my.z;
			if( my.x == 0)
			{
				SEND_SKILL( my.x, SEND_VEC + SEND_ALL);
				SEND_SKILL( my.pan, SEND_VEC + SEND_ALL);				
			}
			else
			{
				SEND_SKILL( my.x, SEND_VEC + SEND_ALL | SEND_UNRELIABLE);
				SEND_SKILL( my.pan, SEND_VEC + SEND_ALL | SEND_UNRELIABLE);
			}
		}	
		wait (1);
	}	

	sleep(.1); 
	ent_remove(my);
}

It works ok, except the camera direction, the bullet always assume the player1.pan (server) and not the direction of the client camera.

If i call ent_create ("ball0.055.mdl", temp.x, null); and then the project_function right after ent_create it just works.

what a hell is going on, why the camera pointer does not pass to the function called inside ent_create?

Thanks.

from my understanding of builtin mp:
ent_create() executes function only on the server. So camera object is always camera of the server.

Code:

---

	{					
		vec_for_vertex (temp.x, MY._weapon, 1465); 			
		temp.z -= 0.3;				
		you = ent_create ("ball0.055.mdl", temp.x, projectile_function);
                you.pan = camera.pan;
                you.tilt = camera.tilt;

or use proc_client.

Yes you´re right about ent_create and proc_client / proc_local, thanks.

Because you.pan and you.tilt above dont solve the problem, camera is always server camera.

Help with proc_client:

I am trying to alter the Loocweed multiplayer code to include mouose movements = client player movements. I can get the mouse to pan, but the movement keys will not follow the pan direction. I have tried my best to implement the proc_client but either I have no idea how to code for it, or I'm way over my head.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
