Thread: Attachmodel model to head but change origin

Hi

Im trying to spawn a simple cigarette onto a players model on their face , i can get as far as attaching the model to the head so it moves with it , i can change angels , but the model is in the middle of the guys head and cant be seen

How do attach the model to his head but have it out alittle from the middle and towards his mouth, ive tried a few things ive found round the internet , but none seem to change the position of it.

Code:

main:
while(1)
{
setcvar "pe_smoke" ""
while(getcvar "pe_smoke" == "") {wait 1}
waitthread get_player
local.player = $player[level.who] 
///local.player attachmodel models/items/cigarette.tik ("Bip01 Head" + ( 20 20 20 ))
///local.player attachmodel models/items/cigarette.tik "Bip01 Head" + ( 20 20 20 )
local.smoke = spawn script_model
local.smoke model "models/items/cigarette.tik"
local.smoke.origin = ( 20 20 20 )
local.smoke notsolid
local.smoke scale 2
local.smoke.angles = ( 0 180 20 )
local.smoke attach local.player "Bip01 Head"
////local.smoke attach (local.player "Bip01 Head") + ( 20 20 20 )
local.player hurt 10
local.player stufftext ("say Time for a smoke.")
}
end

get_player:
for(level.who = 1;level.who <= $player.size;level.who++) 
{if($player[level.who].entnum == int(getcvar "pe_smoke"))
{end}}
level.who = -1 //no such client
end

The one above works to an extent of spawning the model , it moves with the players head , but is stuck in the middle of his head , the lines ///commented // out are things ive seen in different mods around but none seem to work

Code:

attachmodel ( String modelname, String tagname, [Float scale], [String targetname], [Boolean detach_at_death], [Float removetime], [Float fadeintime], [Float fadeoutdelay], [Float fadetime], [Vector offset] )    

attach a entity with modelname to this entity to tag called tagname.
scale - scale of attached entities
targetname - targetname for attached entities
detach_at_death - when entity dies, should this model be detached.
removetime - when the entity should be removed, if not specified, never.
fadeintime - time to fade the model in over.
fadeoutdelay - time to wait until we fade the attached model out
fadeoutspeed - time the model fades out over
offset - vector offset for the model from the specified tag

With offset being the missing key. Set this to player.forwardvector * 4 (or another number until you get it right).

Thanks

I got it working good , and to turn off when the command is sent again :P now i might just make a trigger for it instead of a cvar so players can walk up to a packet of cigarettes to start smoking :P

I'm curious, did you quit smoking recently?

Actually ive never smoked in my life lol Im doing it for a friend who always says brb smoko , so now he can smoke and play :P

Purple, have you checked out these links yet?

If you're interested I can attach them mods here.
Download links on TMT aren't what they used to be, sadly enough...

Thanks for the links , they look cool , the one im doing is more just a learning curve for me atm and something fun to put on my server , not as complex and feature rich as those ones by Viper

EDIT:

See here is mine , its alot simpler then vipers , but no bad for me lol still learning, i did just copy his idea of making it global tho adding main local.origin: tho , just learnt that lol

exec global/smoke.scr ( coords in here )

Code:

main local.origin:

local.dish = spawn script_model
local.dish model "static/dish.tik" //Your ModelPath no /models
local.dish.origin = local.origin + ( 15 15 40 )
local.dish.angles = ( 0 45 0 )
local.dish.scale = 0.7

local.table = spawn script_model
local.table model "static/tablewithumbrella.tik" //Your ModelPath no /models
local.table.origin = local.origin
local.table.angles = ( 0 90 0 )
local.table.scale = 1

local.smoketrigger = spawn trigger_use origin local.dish.origin
local.smoketrigger setsize ( -50 -50 -10 ) ( 50 50 50 ) 

while(1)
{
local.smoketrigger waittill trigger
local.player = parm.other
if(local.player.smoking == 1 )

		{
			$(smoke) remove
			local.player stufftext ("say I quit.")
			local.player fullheal
			local.player.smoking = 0
			
		}
	else
		{
		
			local.player attachmodel models/items/cigarette.tik "Bip01 Head" 1.5 (smoke) 1 -1 -1 -1 -1 ( 4 7 -1.7 )
			$(smoke).angles = ( 20 180 10 )
			///local.player hurt 10
			local.player stufftext ("say Time for a smoke.")
			local.player.smoking = 1
			local.player thread hurt
			
		}
		
	
local.smoketrigger notTriggerable
wait 2
local.smoketrigger triggerable
}

		
end

hurt:

local.player = parm.other
while(local.player.smoking == 1 )
{
	
	local.player hurt 3
	wait 10

		if(local.player.health  <= 15)
	
			{
				local.player stufftext ("say Smoking is going to kill me")
				wait 1 
			}	
	
}
	 
	
end

So it lets the player walk up to the table and start smoking then has to return to stop smoking lol i think its fun

Also have one that is controlled via cvar on the player ( enter command again to turn off )
EDIT: Which now doesnt work .... worked locally but uploaded to server and nope

Code:

main:
while(1)
{
setcvar "pe_smoke" ""
while(getcvar "pe_smoke" == "") {wait 1}
waitthread get_player
local.player = $player[level.who] 


if(local.player.smoking == 1 )

		{
			$(local.smoke) remove
			local.player.smoking = 0
		}
	else
		{
		
			local.player attachmodel models/items/cigarette.tik "Bip01 Head" 1.5 (local.smoke) 1 -1 -1 -1 -1 ( 4 7 -1.7 )
			$(local.smoke).angles = ( 20 180 10 )
			///local.player hurt 10
			local.player stufftext ("say Time for a smoke.")
			local.player.smoking = 1
		}

}
end

get_player:
for(level.who = 1;level.who <= $player.size;level.who++) 
{if($player[level.who].entnum == int(getcvar "pe_smoke"))
{end}}
level.who = -1 //no such client
end

Thanks for your help guys
