adding zoom functinality to your mp5

Great tutorial! Everything is working perfectly except one little mistake you made in the code.

This line:

SetNextThink( 0.1 );

Should be replaced with this one:

pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + 0.1;

Because SetNextThink is not used in original HL SDK. It's a Spirit of Half-Life command.

By the way there is another little bug in-game, when you switch between normal and the zoom mode you can hear the grenade launch sound.

Sorry for my poor English.

Good points.

I have to admit, when I wrote this tutorial I was n00by and used the Spirit Of Half-Life code instead of the proper Half-Life source code. Truth is the Spirit Of Half-Life code is a massive mess and real buggy!

As for the grenade sound, I didn't notice it, nice find. I should probably update the tutorial but it's been so long since I've opened the Half-Life code I've forgotten alot of stuff.

Why not just delete the original grenade launcher .wav (that would be glauncher.wav and glauncher2.wav I belive)in half-life 1's .pak file?
