func_destuctable drops debris from map origin

[tundramagi]

func_destuctable drops debris from map origin rather than entity/brush center if no origin brush is there. Can this be changed to dropping from entity/brush center if no origin brush please?

No, as the game code does not know if the origin is intentionally set to the map origin by an origin brush, or whether it is just missing.

Just place origin brushes.

Can this be changed to launch from entity center if no origin is found other than the map origin?

Code: Select all

void LaunchDebris (string debrisname) =
{
   local   entity dbr;

   dbr = spawn();
   dbr.origin = self.origin + self.absmin
              + '1 0 0' * random() * (self.absmax_x - self.absmin_x)
              + '0 1 0' * random() * (self.absmax_y - self.absmin_y)
              + '0 0 1' * random() * (self.absmax_z - self.absmin_z);
   setmodel (dbr, debrisname );
   dbr.movetype = MOVETYPE_BOUNCE;
   dbr.solid = SOLID_NOT;
   // TODO parametrize this
   dbr.velocity_x = 70 * crandom();
   dbr.velocity_y = 70 * crandom();
   dbr.velocity_z = 140 + 70 * random();
   dbr.avelocity_x = random()*600;
   dbr.avelocity_y = random()*600;
   dbr.avelocity_z = random()*600;
   SUB_SetFade(dbr, time + 1 + random() * 5, 1);
};

The map origin might be the intentionally set correct one. So, no.

If you insist, make it a spawnflag, like DEBRIS_FROM_CENTER.

I've been trying to do it, I can't make it not drop from map origin no matter what, there is no way to pass it the center of the brush as the origin. Could you do this? I suck at coding and have failed yet again.

Third time in a week.
