Movers#

Movers are entites that move and rotate smoothly. script_mover allows for smooth movement and rotation contrary to script_mover_lightweight which is not able to rotate.

Create a Mover#

entity CreateExpensiveScriptMover(vector origin, vector angles)#: returns script_mover

entity CreateExpensiveScriptMoverModel(asset model, vector origin, vector angles, int solidType, float fadeDist)#: returns script_mover which has a model

entity CreateScriptMover(vector origin, vector angles)#: returns script_mover_lightweight

entity CreateScriptMoverModel(asset model, vector origin, vector angles, int solidType, float fadeDist)#: returns script_mover_lightweight which has a model

entity CreateOwnedScriptMover(entity owner)#: returns script_mover which will be at the location of the owner

Moving#

void NonPhysicsMoveTo(vector position, float time, float easeIn, float easeOut)#

void NonPhysicsMoveInWorldSpaceToLocalPos(vector localPos, float time, float easeIn, float easeOut)#

void NonPhysicsMoveWithGravity(vector velocityForOthers, vector fakeGravity)#

void NonPhysicsRotateTo(vector angles, float time, float easeIn, float easeOut)#

Only usable by expensive movers

void NonPhysicsRotate(vector angles, float speed)#

Only usable by expensive movers

void NonPhysicsStop()#

Immediately stop this mover from moving

Behaviour#

void ChangeNPCPathsOnMove(bool recalculate)#

void SetPusher(bool isPusher)#: Pushers move everything that stands on top of them or next to them and can also kill entities by crushing them.

void NonPhysicsSetRotateModeLocal(bool useLocal)#

void PhysicsDummyEnableMotion(bool enabled)#

Examples#

entity mover = CreateScriptMover( <0,0,0> )

// moving the mover to <0,0,10> in 1 second
mover.NonPhysicsMoveTo( <0,0,10>, 1, 0, 0 )

// wating so the mover gets to the destination
wait 1

// sending it back
mover.NonPhysicsMoveTo( <0,0,0>, 1, 0, 0 )

// then stoping the mover in 0.5 seconds
wait 0.5
mover.NonPhysicsStop()

// creating a elevator
// using a mover with a model
entity mover = CreateScriptMoverModel( $"models/props/turret_base/turret_base.mdl", < -40.5605, -1827.87, -223.944 >, <0,0,0>, SOLID_VPHYSICS, 1000 )
mover.SetPusher( true ) // making it into a pusher

// for loop to move the elevator up and down
for(;;)
{
    mover.NonPhysicsMoveTo( < -35.4312, -1827.87, 523.046 >, 4.8, 0.1, 0.1 )
    wait 6

    mover.NonPhysicsMoveTo( < -35.4312, -1827.87, -223.944 >, 4.8, 0.1, 0.1 )
    wait 6
}

// Phase shifting the player to a destination
// setting a position
vector destination = <250,1000,100>
// checking if the player is valid
if ( IsValid( player ) )
{
    // creating the mover
    entity mover = CreateOwnedScriptMover( player )
    player.SetParent( mover ) // parenting the player ( so they move with the mover )
    mover.NonPhysicsMoveTo( destination, 0.5, 0, 0 ) // saying to the moveer to move
    vector angles = player.GetAngles() // angles saved
    PhaseShift( player, 0.1, 1 ) // phase shifitng the player
    player.SetAngles( angles ) // setting the player to the original angles
}
wait 0.6 // wating so the mover moves

if ( IsValid( player ) )
{
    player.ClearParent() // removing the player from the mover
}
