Hi, i am creating the players something like that:

Code:

---

if(connection > 1)
{
   ME = ENT_CREATE ("cbabe.mdl", NULLVECTOR, paint_FUNCTION);
   wait(1);  // wait 1 frame after creation
   c_setminmax(me);
}

---

The server sees the clients bounding box ok:



But the clients dont see the updated bbox of server and other clients:



Do i need to send min_x and max_x vectors?

thanks.

Hmm, after some investigation it seems that min_x,y,z and max_x,y,z arent networkable parameters. Probably have to use some skills to do it.

But i ask in other way: there is no way to start the players creation on server and clients with the bounding box assuming players real dimensions, without sending those skills?

The setminmax() function is not networkable thus your behaiviour is to be expected.

What you see on the client is the fat or narrow hull definition for the model. This is the same as you would see on the server before the setminmax() call.

You would have to make a setminmax() call on the client following entity creation. Then similar models will have similar BBs.

Since you are creating the entity on the server, there is no automatic way of setting this for te client. The two best ways to do this are to have a skill trigger event_receive and that starts setminmax() (with me already set since it's in the entities event function; my prefered method) or by using proc_clients to start the setminmax() function on the client (a bit harder since the function would have to determine the pointer to the target entity).

Thanks for your considerations fastlane, i will test those methods soon.

For who wants to know i solved the question this way:

function setBBOX()
{
wait(1);
c_setminmax( me );
}


the paint_FUNCTION runs on the server of course, so i just used proc_local in the begining of that function this way:

if( connection == 3 )
{
proc_local( me, setBBOX );
}

This way all clients see their bounding box updated and server´s bbox too.

Perfect. Nice.

wtf...

I though this problem was solved but i realised that sometimes one bounding box is not updated, normally the 3rd player.

Also, the 2nd player loosed his bounding box at runtime.

function setBBOX()
{
wait(1);
c_setminmax( me );
}

the paint_FUNCTION runs on the server of course, so i just used proc_local in the begining of that function this way:

if( connection == 3 )
{
proc_local( me, setBBOX );
}

What a hell is going on? can be a bug?

I tried fastlane solution using a skill trigger with event_receive but it didnt work too.
