I think it would work - except I'm not really sure why you would need this : model = getentarray("targetname","player_model");
I already made the mod change the player's model, so I don't think this would be neccessary.

And does the colbox even get linked to the player ? Is it the "player.colboxnum = i;" in the middle script?

Just to get something straight: "player clip" is a texture in radiant, right? I never used it before :p


Thats the boxes resembling the players ? Because if I already altered the player models in a different way, these should be ignored?

When making all these objects, they should all have the same size as a regular box ?

And one last question:
Should these scripts be in a map's gsc files, or as a new file in a mod - and then add a line to the gametype gsc to thread it.

Call boxsetup() and waitforconnect() from someplace that's going to run everytime the box war gametype starts up. Put it anywhere you want.

For putting the clip and trigger in the player's position, you'd have to do so everytime the player spawns. Wherever that's dealt with in the gametype.gsc I wouldn't know where that is off the top of my head.

Like this

colbox = getentarray("targetname","player_colbox");
	colbox[self.colboxnum] moveto(self.origin,.0001);
	colbox[self.colboxnum] linkto(self);

use the clip texture in usage>tools


Use this if you've already set the actual model up:

boxsetup()
{
	hitbox = getentarray("targetname", "player_hitbox"); //trigger_damage
	colbox = getentarray("targetname","player_colbox");  //player clip
	//model = getentarray("targetname","player_model");    //actual box script_model
	
	for (i = 0; i < hitbox.size; i++)
	{
		hitbox[i] enablelinkto();
		hitbox[i] linkto(colbox[i]);
		//model[i] linkto(colbox[i]);
		colbox[i].isinuse = 0;        //set all boxes as not belonging to any players
	}
}

When making the clip for collision and trigger_damage for health, yeah, ideally you'd want them to have the same dimension's as the player's model





Wait, I just thought of something. Shoot, can you link things to players?
