Methods

ENT:Draw()

client gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/forcefields/plugin/entities/entities/cw_forcefield/cl_init.lua:35

Draws the post and the shield on both sides of the field, sized to reach the far post.

ENT:DrawShield(vertex)

client gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/forcefields/plugin/entities/entities/cw_forcefield/cl_init.lua:68

Draws one side of the shield as a textured quad up to the far post, unless the field is off.

Based on how Chessnut draws his forcefields.

Parameters

  • vertex Vector The far post's position, local to this post

ENT:EndTouch(ent)

server gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/forcefields/plugin/entities/entities/cw_forcefield/init.lua:172

Fades the touch sound out when a player stops touching the field.

Also when the field has been switched off in the meantime, or the sound would play on.

Parameters

  • ent

ENT:Initialize()

shared gamemodes/cwhl2rp/plugins/forcefields/plugin/entities/entities/cw_forcefield/init.lua:40

On the server

Sets up the post, spawns the far post at the nearest wall and builds the field's collision mesh.

Unless noCorrect is set, snaps the post to the floor first. Starts in mode 1 and switched on unless ENT:RestoreMode set otherwise; mode 4 starts switched off. Saves the forcefields afterwards, unless the field is one being restored from that save.

On the client

Builds the field's collision mesh between this post and the wall up to 600 units to its side.
