| __FORCETOC__
| |
| | |
| =Activation=
| |
| | |
| * Add {{Key|GLOWS_ENABLE}} to the preprocessor directives on your client and server projects (don't forget to add it for release and debug, too!)
| |
| * Add the following line to '''ClientModeShared::DoPostScreenSpaceEffects''':
| |
| | |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| g_GlowObjectManager.RenderGlowEffects( pSetup, 0 );
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Materials Required:'''
| |
| [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltyomrglekrhriv/sdk2013_tf2_glowoutlinematerials.zip?dl=0 SDK2013_TF2_GlowOutlineMaterials.zip]
| |
| | |
| | |
| * Precache the effect by placing this code in '''clientmode_shared.cpp''' (search for other references of '''CLIENTEFFECT_REGISTER_BEGIN''' for usage example):
| |
| | |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_REGISTER_BEGIN( PrecachePostProcessingEffectsGlow )
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_MATERIAL( "dev/glow_color" )
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_MATERIAL( "dev/halo_add_to_screen" )
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_REGISTER_END_CONDITIONAL( engine->GetDXSupportLevel() >= 90 )
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Don't forget to add the include defintion for the precache system!
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #include "clienteffectprecachesystem.h"
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| =(Optional) Transferring getters and setters from CBaseCombatCharacter=
| |
| {{Expand|
| |
| By default objects derived from {{Key|CBaseCombatCharacter}} have getters and setters which can be problematic. <br>This section shows how to transfer setters and getters from {{Key|CBaseCombatCharacter}} to {{Key|CBaseAnimating}} since most entities e.g. {{Key|CBaseCombatCharacter}}, {{Key|CDynamicProp}}, {{Key|CBaseProp}} and more.
| |
| | |
| There are two parts: Server and Client, where we'll start with server first.
| |
| Firstly delete this part of code from '''basecombatcharacter.h''' (lines 415-420) into '''baseanimating.h''':
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #ifdef GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| public:
| |
| void AddGlowEffect(void);
| |
| void RemoveGlowEffect(void);
| |
| bool IsGlowEffectActive(void);
| |
| #endif
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| After that, do the same thing to this part of code ('''basecombatcharacter.h''', lines 459-462):
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #ifdef GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| CNetworkVar(bool, m_bGlowEnabled);
| |
| #endif
| |
| </source>
| |
| {{Note|This part of code needs to be in '''protected:''' modifier. If there's no protected modifier make one}}
| |
| | |
| And finally repeat that with this part of code ('''basecombatcharacter.h''', lines 467-468)
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| void UpdateGlowEffect( void );
| |
| void DestroyGlowEffect( void );
| |
| </source>
| |
| {{Note|This part of code needs to be in '''private:''' modifier}}
| |
| | |
| Now move to '''basecombatcharacter.cpp''' and '''baseanimating.cpp'''
| |
| First part of code to delete from '''basecombatcharacter.cpp''' (lines 193-195) and put it into '''baseanimating.cpp''' (line 230):
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #ifdef GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| SendPropBool( SENDINFO( m_bGlowEnabled ) ),
| |
| #endif
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Next, from '''basecombatcharacter.cpp''' (lines 744-746) put this part of code into '''baseanimating.cpp''' '''CBaseAnimating::CBaseAnimating'''
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #ifdef GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| m_bGlowEnabled.Set( false );
| |
| #endif
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Lastly delete this from '''basecombatcharacter.cpp''' (lines 3227-3252)
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #ifdef GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| // Purpose:
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| void CBaseCombatCharacter::AddGlowEffect( void )
| |
| {
| |
| SetTransmitState( FL_EDICT_ALWAYS );
| |
| m_bGlowEnabled.Set( true );
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| // Purpose:
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| void CBaseCombatCharacter::RemoveGlowEffect( void )
| |
| {
| |
| m_bGlowEnabled.Set( false );
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| // Purpose:
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| bool CBaseCombatCharacter::IsGlowEffectActive( void )
| |
| {
| |
| return m_bGlowEnabled;
| |
| }
| |
| #endif // GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| and put this part somewhere under '''CBaseAnimating::~CBaseAnimating''' in '''baseanimating.cpp'''
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #ifdef GLOWS_ENABLE
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| // Purpose:
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| void CBaseAnimating::AddGlowEffect(void)
| |
| {
| |
| SetTransmitState(FL_EDICT_ALWAYS);
| |
| m_bGlowEnabled.Set(true);
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| // Purpose:
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| void CBaseAnimating::RemoveGlowEffect(void)
| |
| {
| |
| m_bGlowEnabled.Set(false);
| |
| }
| |
| | |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| // Purpose:
| |
| //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| bool CBaseAnimating::IsGlowEffectActive(void)
| |
| {
| |
| return m_bGlowEnabled;
| |
| }
| |
| #endif
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| This is the end of server part, now onto client part. We'll be mainly operating on two files '''c_baseanimating.cpp/.h''' and '''c_basecombatcharacter.cpp/.h'''

| To start a glow, call:

| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| myObject->AddGlowEffect(); //Make it glow

| </source>
| |
| | |
| To update a glow, call:
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| myObject->UpdateGlowEffect(); //Update glow

| To stop a glow, call:
| |
