Valve Source Code 2013 Tutorial (Episode 10): Creating a Laser Weapon
23Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I go over how to create a laser gun from scratch that has code on both the server and client, with inspiration from the Tau Cannon, Physgun and Fire Extinguisher Beta weapons. Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!
At around 13:00, I screw up in the video and did not include a ! symbol, so the line should read something like: if (tr.DidHitWorld() && !(tr.surface.flags & SURF_SKY)) [I do a crude job of highlighting this in the video on a couple of occasions!]
