Arrays & Set Sizes

**easymeat** · December 24th, 2014, 09:54 AM

1st Question is can you use a array to spawn multiple item in maps, like crates or whatever?

2nd I know this is in old post but I just didn't want to reopen an old post that got off track. I just want to make sure I understand something. I can spawn an item and make it any size I want say make a crate really small, and as long as I don't do the set size thing the box around it will be the same size?

Hi

1) Sor did a nice explanation to me years ago about this exact thing >> http://www.x-null.net/forums/showthr...ll=1#post12654 << Oh wow, it shows how little i knew back then lol

2) Yes, you can scale a model to make it look big or small, but the bounding box around it will stay the same unless you alter it via changing the setsize

TBH I don't know the answer to your first question, but as for your second question.
Yes you can scale (for example) an Indycrate up but it will be the "normal" boundary size.
So even if you set it to a scale of 0.00001 you will still be stopped by it. Unless you make it 'notsolid'.

ok so as far as the set size goes does it make any difference to the size as far as server goes? I thought I read somewhere that when you spawn stuff it makes server lag so would smaller be better? myth or fact?

that does make sense to me, I always wondered what those [1] [2] [3] was for...lol.cool as hell now I can really fool around.

I think ( dont quote me on this ) that the setsize of the object would not affect the server in that way, i think its more the visual aspects of models that would cause lag if any. So if you scaled up crates to be HUGE and spawned heaps of them, it would lag the server. So its more the textures and brushes being spawned that would cause lag

EDIT:: Hey Strange thing, when you click a link that is quoted, it takes you to the Reborn Wiki Page instead of the link url? Is it just me or ?? Links work normal unless its quoted?

so smaller is better all I need is the bounding boxes any way I just want to block the tops of some walls with barbed wire so I can make them really small and just leave the set size alone.

It's not just you, Purple. I tried it and was also taken to the WiKi page.. (using IE11)

bboxes can be easily determined by a smart way i used to do in the past

1. open MOHAA Radiant
2. load the map , http://www.ausgamers.com/files/downl...urce-map-files
3. make a trigger , Right Click > trigger > trigger_multiple
now move the trigger anywhere in the map and set it's by click'ndrag outside the trigger

when done u'll see the x , y and z values of the trigger in the 2d windows also the origin

now the setsize should b like

( 0 0 0 )( X Y Z)
or
( 0 Y 0 )( X 0 Z)

there is a value the should be on the left part of the setsize
I don't rly remember , try it with the x , if not then y , if not then z
or it should be reversed like : ( X Y Z )( 0 0 0 )

i guess u already know how to view the show boxes of a spawned object in mohaa

that method saves a lot of pain , believe me

if u don't understand a thing above then tell me , this is shortened

That's because VBulletin appears to shorten the links. Then, when a link is quoted, it no longer works because it is quoting the shortened link rather than the full URL. When you click on it, the link is invalid, so it redirects to the wiki because that's how James' .htaccess file is setup. I'll get James to look at this.
