Freeze for Q2 Thread

How can i make a freeze tag for Q2?

Code it.

Concept, design, implimentation, maintenence.

Just implementation. He's not trying to make a mod, he's trying to learn how to mod. He wants a tutorial.

yep, i need the code, i know it is something in p_weapon.c orso

mwhoa i need the code so if u shoot a specified weapon the enemy/player freezes after hit by the bullet, and turns and sees blue for 5 seconds orso. It cant move. After 5 seconds it defrosts.
If the HP is 1 and then shoot with a freeze bullet it wont die, it freezes, if u shoot it on 1HP when its frozen it will die. Every time u shoot it it substracts 20HP and adds freeze effect.

How can i make this happen? I know with coding, but how...?

common, there must be a freeze script... Help me please...

help?

ai yi yi, calm down... no need to triple post within 24 hours

Well, I'm assuming you know a bit about Quake 2 coding, because I don't, but I could help you.

First, add this variable to the main entity structure, whatever that may be:
int frozentime;

Make sure it's initialized to 0 before a game starts and when you respawn.

Then, add a freeze gun.
In the damage function, add this in real code:

if (attacker.weapon == freezegun && target.health > 0)
{
target.health -= 20;
if (target.health < 1)
target.health = 1;
target.frozentime = 0.1;
}

I have no idea how to do it but you should find some player function that's called at 10 frames per second, this is usually where the animation is handled too. Add:
if (self.frozentime)
{
self.frozentime += 0.1;
localcmd (self, "v_cshift 0 255 255 128\n"); // this probably wont make any sense in quake2... for one thing i heard you have to hack in a localcmd function...
self.effects |= EF_BLUE; // ?
}
if (self.frozentime > 5)
self.frozentime = 0;

Then, somehow make the player unable to move if (self.frozentime). I can't help you there.

This is probably very complete, but it should be a step in the right direction.

uuuuuuhh... just started a week ago in coding '¬_¬

Well then I can't help you any further. If you can't find any tutorials, get on the quakesrc.org forums and ask on the Quake2 DLL coding forum.
