How does the enemy spotted work? Does it find a collision and plot the coordinates? Would it be possible to spawn an emitter at that location? Perhaps a little smoke or flare or something in the 3d space?

Yeah, it's using Trace.

So, I get the
HitLocation.X
HitLocation.Y
HitLocation.Z

As a result.

So what you are proposing would be possible, and at first when I was thinking on what it would mean, was that it would be cool.
However, if you could report enemies, causing a smoke to appear, it could be used to smoke on a distance, and that would be just ridiculous.

HitLocation XYZ can be:

var Vector ReportLoc;
HitLocation = ReportLoc(0,0,0);

btw that would change all ur code

and I'm not Sure if the code above is right >O

You built in a spam protection right? I wouldn't do a huge smoke, maybe a small flare or something. Smaller than the incendiary, maybe something close to the smoke on Live_Jump. It wouldn't provide much cover but it would provide a visual cue. It doesn't even have to be smoke either. We could make a real flare. Small bright light, faint smoke. Soldiers do use those to mark things since they're easy to throw. It could be somewhat realistic.

I already have a really good sound for one from AA3: S-mAAp_Pack_6.Pipeline.fire_extinguisher

I'd almost bet that the code is easily copy-pasted in AA. Shouldn't be too hard to spawn an emitter. The question is, will it just float or would a spawned item fall if it has karma? I wouldn't like to rely on it for Mac & Linux but I could always make a KActor for the physics mod.

let him release it first, then we start to suggest New features

Is this the way it worked in 2.8?
Might be better to keep it simple for the initial release. If ELiZ does merge it into anti poke it can be easily updated at any time.

Fair enough

I'm just thinking out loud here. The SAI is amazing by itself.

Spawning it was rather simple:

Quote

local fx_exp_smallfire mySmoke;
mySmoke=myLevel.Spawn(class'fx_exp_smallfire',,,HitLocation);
mySmoke.LifeSpan=8.0;

Here is a Test with the Emitters Activated.

As mentioned, not for the initial release, but I made this video so that we would have all the cards on the table when discussing it for future releases

Emitter is visible for team mates only.

now make the flames do damage = pwn!

I like it. I'm wondering about other options. Having a smoke/flare on the side of a wall (especially brick) doesn't make much realism sense. Is there any way to bind it to a Karma object? That's bad for Mac & Linux but then we could have something uber realistic. For simplicity and cross-platform, I'm wondering now about a projector with a spraypainted message or maybe just a red X sprayed on the wall? No abuse that way and I'm sure you could look at bullet decals to get the code you need.

JonnyM · « **Reply #206 on:** Tuesday, August 06, 2013, 12:59:20 PM »

Where do you get the idea mac and linux does not have karma? I know your physics mod did not work on the unix side but have you tried jumping off the bridge on unix? wonderful fluid physics.

Spanky · Quote from: ELiZ on Monday, February 16, 2015, 09:57:26 AM

That's precisely it, the Karma object would be created through the physics mod, thus not working on Linux & Mac. It would be an elegant and functional solution but it would leave people out. I don't know what it would take to get physics to work on Lin & Mac. Remind me, does it crash or simply do nothing? If it does nothing then we might be able to do something cool for the Win players.

JonnyM · « **Reply #208 on:** Tuesday, August 06, 2013, 13:09:49 PM »

No it crashes. segmentation fault. Lol, I don't really think its appropriate to drop multiplatform support for some flares that fall on the floor.

I am looking forward to getting the SAI into the game now, i will be nice to do some work thats not AC related.

Do you think that the SAI should be implemented in 2.5?
