Tips
Imagine we want to do this scenario:
The hero enters into a temple to steal a key. This temple is full of zombies. Lucky guy, it seems they don't do anything when they see him. Hero steals the key, and he will see all the zombies coming towards him.
Let's code: First, the zombies need to have no reaction with player, so they must be R_NO. Zombie is CLASS_ALIEN_MONSTER and player is CLASS_PLAYER. Look at the relations table, ALIENMONSTER R_DL PLYR, so the zombie dislike player. We must change the player class to make the zombie have no reaction, for example CLASS_ALIEN_PASSIVE.
Now, in CBasePlayer class, go to Classifyfunction and change CLASS_PLAYER byCLASS_ALIEN_PASSIVE.
Since he has taken the key, we want him to be attacked by zombies, so
we will make the player class : CLASS_PLAYER.
In this same function, check if he has the key, and return the good result.
For example it could be like this :
| | |
int CBasePlayer::Classify ( void )
{
if ( m_i HasKey )
{
return CLASS_PLAYER;
}
else
{
return CLASS_ALIEN_PASSIVE;
}
}

It's all now, if you see errors or want explanations, just ask. |
