Pickups and scripting

[-{ET}-xdEpicZombie]

The rotation and floating of pickups are done with cubescript.Could anyone script it so the pickups stay on the ground,dont rotate and float?

[Victor]

No, it's done with C++ code.
entities.cpp:13-19

Code:

void renderent(entity &e)
{
    const char *mdlname = entmdlnames[e.type-I_CLIPS];
    float z = (float)(1+sinf(lastmillis/100.0f+e.x+e.y)/20),
          yaw = lastmillis/10.0f;
    rendermodel(mdlname, ANIM_MAPMODEL|(e.spawned ? 0 : ANIM_TRANSLUCENT)|ANIM_LOOP|ANIM_DYNALLOC, 0, 0, vec(e.x, e.y, z+S(e.x, e.y)->floor+e.attr1), yaw, 0);
}

What ever it is,can you do it?

[Victor]

Yes, but why would I do it?

[-{ET}-xdEpicZombie]

to make the gam look a bit more realistic-floating ammo boxes and grenades arent

or what u think

by the way if u do it we need new akimbo pickup model,Ill get it if needed

[Victor]

Well, it looks better with the floating ammo boxes, so it's considered a feature to have them float and rotate, but in real life, they wouldn't be there anyways.

Regarding the akimbo model, I'm not sure if it needs to be replaced.
