Entity:ManipulateBoneAngles
Description
Sets custom bone angles.
The repeated use of bone manipulation in multiplayer games is highly discouraged due to the huge produced network traffic.
Arguments
Example
This example shows the network usage impact of repeatedly using bone manipulation serverside.
To see the difference, type in client's console: net_graph 3
The rotation is not smooth when using Entity:SetNWFloat() because it does not update the value on every frame.
local server_only = true -- Change the value!
if server_only then
if SERVER then
hook.Add( "Think", "bone_manipulation_test", function()
for _,ent in ipairs( ents.FindByModel( "models/buggy.mdl" ) ) do
ent:ManipulateBoneAngles( 28, Angle( 0,0,RealTime()*180 ) )
end
end )
else
hook.Add( "Think", "bone_manipulation_test", function()
end )
end
else
if SERVER then
hook.Add( "Think", "bone_manipulation_test", function()
for _,ent in ipairs( ents.FindByModel( "models/buggy.mdl" ) ) do
ent:SetNWFloat( "bone_manipulation_test", RealTime()*180 ) -- Entity:SetNW....() do not broadcast new values instantly
end
end )
else
hook.Add( "Think", "bone_manipulation_test", function()
for _,ent in ipairs( ents.GetAll() ) do
if ent:GetModel() == "models/buggy.mdl" then
ent:ManipulateBoneAngles( 28, Angle( 0,0,ent:GetNWFloat( "bone_manipulation_test" ) ) )
end
end
end )
end
end
Output: Rotation of the ammo box of all HL2 buggies.
