Disabling keybind when inside a building

#1 I'd probably go with the trigger approach as well.

#2 We did something similiar.

We wanted to get rid of the roof of each building as you went into it.
Either you cast a ray at the feet of the player, you use a trigger, or if you got your buildings properly zoned - you check what zone the player is. If he's in anything else than the outside zone, he's in a building.

We went with the latter, but I'm sure the others will work too.

#3 Thanks Guys. Much appreciated for your input.

#4 Um, is not the console function isPointInside made for this type of thing?

#5 I was thinking something like this would do it; as a script callback...


add into void Player::updateAttachment()

if (gServerContainer.castRay(Point3F(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z + 0.1f),
		Point3F(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z - 1.0f ),
		InteriorObjectType, &rInfo))
{
		//check for interior
		if( rInfo.object->getTypeMask() & InteriorObjectType)
		{	
			ShapeBase* col = static_cast<ShapeBase*>(rInfo.object);
			Con::executef(col,3,"onDIFCollision",scriptThis(),col->scriptThis());
			//Con::printf("onDIFCollision:::::::::: CALLback");
		}
}

And it DO sorta work, i wanted it to callback InteriorInstance(DIFname) then use DIFname::onDIFCollision() function to set new rules for each DIF that had a name.... but that part isnt working.

Perhaps its something really simple? I'll work on the rest later, and get back to here when i have worked it out. But until then perhaps someone with more knowhow could fix it?

#6 Looks good, I will be interested to see this working in full ... let me know when you have something and I'll gladly test it out :) $50 for you/ or someone else who can get it working without errors and not via a trigger solution which is how I was going to go about it, and to stop a jetpack based on this resource from working. It also has to work multi-player on dedicated server, and show text in message hud or screen via GUI text to player only (Jetpack de-activated on entering interior) and (Jetpack activated on exiting interior). Resource can then be released freely into the community :) Needs to work with 1.5.2

So I am thinking of a modification in player.cc to detect when a player is within a dif interior, then a checking statement function in defaultbind.cs for a keypress, if in interior then don't allow it to be pressed, and if outside interior then allow.

#7 I have it working for my project now; but being i was out drinking heavy wish to test it fully and will post my solution in the next A.M...

#8 Caylo.. great! Look forward to your solution :)

#9 Hows your solution coming along Caylo?

#10 Oh ya.. I have been swamped. I have some contracts to finish before getting back to personal projects... Will try and dump what i have so far here, 'night or next morning, should be enough to set you in the right direction.
