Show icon when somone is typing.....

[XetaQuake]

aahhhh, AlienX and/or khepra pleas make it public! pleas dont say "its only for me"...that is horrible.

i want this too

[AlienX]

I've got it working on my server right now. I think I'll post the code when I get a chance, since I'm sure it's horribly inefficient right now, and I wouldn't mind a couple more eyes checking my code

Thats kinda weird, seeing as isChatBoxInputActive() does not work in DP2

Are you having us on

*edit*

Pics or it didnt happen

[iam2noob4u]

Try http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/10/16/292619/tryme.rar. It works for me

It works for me. Want a screen?

[DazzaJay]

Why does the meta.xml have it listed as a Game Mode?

[khepra]

Lol, feel free to check for yourself at KhepraServ. Or just try it yourself

Well, i have tested yours, but there is a small bug i have found.

ok, if somone is Off screen when they start typing, and you turn to look at them, they dont have the icon above thier head.

like, it only places the icon above peoples heads when they start typing and they are seen in your screen area.

if you njeed me to go in better details, i can film a vid.

[50p]

There needs to be a timer. I guess there must be only key binding. Timer is needed to update players' screen.

[AlienX]

Dazza, ive made my own now, it supports:

- Fading the icon in and out as a player starts to chat and stops chatting

- Distance between players effects the size of the icon

- Icons are linked to your FPS, so they do not lag around.

- Icons are not displayed if the element is not on the screen.

I shall give it to you shortly, do u have MSN?

[DazzaJay]

Yeah man, MSN, ICQ, AIM, Y!, Google Talk, Xfire.... i got them all.

they should appear under my name in the left block

<------

Also, if somone starts typing Off-Screen, and then you come into visual range of them, will the icon appear?

[AlienX]

Indeed

added you.

[DazzaJay]

i have accepted, but it says your offline.

[XetaQuake]

ömm, AlienX why are you dont uppload this? for all peaple

[iam2noob4u]

He has a point you know... Cause it sounds better then my 10 minutes of work...

Oh and someone asked why I said it was a gamemode in the meta.xml: I couldn't get the icon.png to work without doing so (for some weird reason).

[DazzaJay]

Thats odd, cos i changed your meta.xml from gamemode to script and it worked fine.

It would just give me a error about there being no src attribute for the file (while there is). Edit works now.

Edit (2): Try this, it should do everything AlienX's does except for the fade in and out (it just appears and disappears).

Edit (3): Changed the above again.

Edit (4): processLineOfSight doesn't really work well... or I just used it wrong -.-

nice! this is near perfect for me, but it is possibly that the icon don´t show through the objects and don´t show when the player are crawling?

Redownload, and replace

function updatep() 
    local players=getElementsByType("player") 
    for index,player in ipairs(players) do 
    if (timer[player]==true) then 
        local cx,cy,cz = getCameraPosition() 
        local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(player) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(cx,cy,cz,px,py,pz) 
        if (processLineOfSight ( cx, cy, cz, px, py, py, true, false, false, true, false, false, false, false, nil ) == false) then 
            if (distance<=160) then 
                if (distance <= 20) then 
                    size=1 
                else 
                        size=20/distance 
                end 
                local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition(px,py,pz+0.
                if (sx and sy) then 
                    image[player] = guiCreateStaticImage(sx,sy-(49*size),49*size,49*size,"img/icon.png",false,nil) 
                    if (image[player]) then 
                        destroyElement(image[player]) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        end

end 

with

nice! now the icon don´t show when i am crawling, thx iam2noob4u

it is possibly that the icon don´t show through the objects?

[CJGrove]

Strange the icon doesn't show in my edited version of CDM but when i load broph it works fine.

The only error i have is this one but i had this one longer

[19:35:11] ERROR: Couldn't packetize argument list, invalid element specified. 

[DazzaJay]

[19:35:11] ERROR: Couldn't packetize argument list, invalid element specified. 

I myself would ignore that error, as i get that on a Default install of the server, Without any extra Scripts running.

[Sky]

the script don't work in Fallout and Hay

[DazzaJay]

the one im using works in every game mode.

[Sky]

ah ? what is the script , because it don't work with me ?

[DazzaJay]

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/10/16 ... /tryme.rar

That one there is the first i used, it worked fine, altho you have to get all the files out of the .rar and put them in a .zip.

it worked fine for me, but now im using one made by AlienX.

[Sky]
