I'm trying to make an entity based off of game_text by basically duplicating the file(s) under a different name. Where exactly is game_text located in the source? Does it even have it's own file? I've searched the entire solution for game_text and only found 2 results.

"In code it is represented by class CGameText, defined in maprules.cpp. "

Alright env_game_hint is now an existing entity and it works great! Thanks.

I have another question, how can I modify this to allow the picking up of ragdolls? I spent a few hours fiddling about with it, but I'm not sure where to allow the picking up of ragdolls.
- Code: Select all
void CHL2_Player::PickupObject( CBaseEntity *pObject , bool bLimitMassAndSize )
{
// can't pick up what you're standing on
if ( GetGroundEntity() == pObject )
return;
if ( bLimitMassAndSize == true )
{
if ( CBasePlayer::CanPickupObject( pObject, 35, 128 ) == false )
return;
}
// Can't be picked up if NPCs are on me
if ( pObject->HasNPCsOnIt() )
return;
PlayerPickupObject( this, pObject );
}

Are ragdolls treated as objects? As there is a difference between those and prop_physics..

I've got ai_force_serverside_ragdoll set to 1 by default so all my ragdolls are serverside, and you can't pick them up, so I'm gonna say no. They should be prop_ragdoll, I think.

It shouldn't be hard. Look at how the super gravity gun does it.

Not a bad idea actually, I should probably search through the HL2 code more thoroughly before I ask.
