Couple of questions
Hi all, sorry Im really late to the party so to speak.

Got an idea for something but just wanted to ask a couple of questions first

a) With the Hud does it have a z value? is it always top level above screen overlays etc, etc?

b) Is it possible to change sound ie make all voice muffled, change pitch etc?

c) is it possible to attach a model to the survivors at all times.

Any pointers appreciated (also any good examples knocking about) - just going through wikis at the mo.

apologies for the lateness and thanks in advance - Morly

a) No, the HUD does not have z-values. However, you can create a modified hudscriptedmode.res file with the graphical changes that you desire.

b) Not yet. You can emit simple named sounds with EmitSoundOnClient()

c) Yes. You can use VSLib[github.com], a simple vscript library for the EMS system being worked on by a couple of people here. VSLib has a Entity::AttachOther() function.

I recommend you take a look at VSLib... It makes many things easier since most of the repetitive stuff is already coded for you.

Keep in mind that the documentation is already outdated (there are dozens of new functions and feature changes), so until we get around to updating the docs, you can always ask me on Steam for help or suggestions on how to do things.

Good luck with your projects! :)

Hey thanks for the info. I'll have a play with the hud and attachments.

As for the sounds, Im guessing its there as with the heavy rain effects it muffles the sounds so its a case of can it be tapped into.

thanks again
