Final killcam for zombie mod

How can I add (dvar?) a final killcam in zombie mod?

This is all I could find...

Code:

scr_game_allowkillcam script allow killcam

I'll give that a try. Don't close this thread though

I don't think that's going to work. QCZM has it's 'own' respawning system instead of using the game's one. That's why it is nearly impossible to enable killcams unless you reverse-engineeer the game's killcam system or if you where the one who wrote QCZM (yes, you KillingDyl!).

Code:

self/level thread maps\mp\gametypes\_killcam::doFinalKillCamFX(5);

IDK if final killcam is self or level, maybe self, but not sure.

KillingDyl didn't really reverse engineer the game's killcam system. He just disabled the current one and added a custom one using what i had upthere. So basically an if game ended or something like that then enable. It's simple if you think about it.

Added in init();
Self / Level

both do not have any effect.

Not init...

Then where?

When game ends lol

Put it under the Intermission thread..
Has to be level thread btw!

doIntermission()
{
level thread maps\mp\gametypes\_killcam::doFinalKillCamFX(5);

level.gameState = "intermission";
level.lastAlive = 0;
level thread doIntermissionTimer();
level notify("RESETDOORS");
level notify("RESETCLUSTER");
setDvar("cg_drawCrosshair", 1);
setDvar("cg_drawCrosshairNames", 1);
setDvar("cg_drawFriendlyNames", 1);
wait 5;

foreach(player in level.players)
{
player thread doSetup();
}
wait 25;

level thread doZombieTimer();
VisionSetNaked("icbm", 5);
}

doesnt work

Setup a normal killcam to

Code:

killcam(
	attackerNum, // entity number of the attacker
	killcamentityindex, // entity number of the entity to view (grenade, airstrike, etc)
	killcamentitystarttime, // time at which the killcamentity came into being
	sWeapon, // killing weapon
	predelay, // time between player death and beginning of killcam
	offsetTime, // something to do with how far back in time the killer was seeing the world when he made the kill; latency related, sorta
	timeUntilRespawn, // will the player be allowed to respawn after the killcam?
	maxtime, // time remaining until map ends; the killcam will never last longer than this. undefined = no limit
	attacker, // entity object of attacker
	victim // entity object of the victim
)

problem with killcam is: when the game ends under special circumstances, where do you get all the parameters for the killcam from , since they get all passed to playerkilled(/internal) methods. So you would have to call a "check if game ends" function with every kill (add it to playerkilled), additionally to your "normal custom" game-end logic.
Would that even work ???

Killcams are too confusing -_-
