[E2] Holograms Done.

[Polymorph]

Since you included a model list, do you think you can include a skin list?

[DarkMonkey]

Are there planes to include this in the official svn, at least once the bugs get worked out? Seems rather awesome.

[Polymorph]

Hey, me and Captain Maim appear to have found a pretty major bug. It seems that everyone shares the same hologram array, so if we both use an index of 1, and I delete my hologram controlling chip, it leaves us with one hologram. But from then on, it becomes near impossible to create new holograms. Or edit existing ones.

Edit: Maybe it doesn't only happen in multiplayer, because I did it in singleplayer with the same results.

Yea i was afraid of that. Ill try to fix by tomorrow.

Every hologram repository is indexed under the player name, there should be no overwriting across players.

The globality is to each unique player however. So you can have one E2 spawn the holograms and another chip to mess with them. Works fine in single player, exactly how it should.

[Polymorph]

Well, for some reason, it broke for both of us at the same moment.

[ZeikJT]

I've never had it break in single player for me.
I tried the delete and creation a lot.

[Polymorph]

Well, I don't have the code off hand, but it was only three lines anyway:

createHolo(1,vec(0,0,40),vec(7,7,7),ang(0,0,0),vec (255,255,255))
holoModel(1,"cube")
holoRenderFX(1,16)


Yes, I know a lot of it is redundant, I was just testing it.

And I had a second chip that did the same thing, except the scale was -7 to account for the hologram effect.

And then eventually, after undoing and redoing the chips, it just stopped working right, like I'd have to put the chip down at least 3 times to get one hologram. And these were spaced between many seconds.

could the time delay be the problem:

Ok, I think I fixed it. But to prevent against spamming and errors you have to wait .3 seconds between spawning. And when you spawn it will take .2 seconds for it to scale properly.
