kickheads on & off?

[smd]

i've tried out the kickheads tutorial from Ivana Gibson and it works great.
but i only want to kick these heads when i press the MOUSE2 button, so i have added the command

.float kickgibs; into the defs.qc

then

if (self.impulse == 25)
self.kickgibs = TRUE;
if (self.impulse == 26)
self.kickgibs = FALSE;

into weapons.qc

and this

alias +kickgibs_on "impulse 25"
alias -kickgibs_on "impulse 26"

bind MOUSE2 +kickgibs_on

into my autoexec.cfg

and finally


//**********************************************
//Kicking Gibs n Dead Heads
//**********************************************

void() kick_touch;

void() kick_touch =
{
local vector v;

if (self.kickgibs != TRUE)
return;

// only a player can kick it
if (other.classname != "player")
return;

//randomize sound
if (random()< 0.6)
sound(other, CHAN_ITEM, "zombie/z_hit.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
else
sound(other, CHAN_ITEM, "zombie/z_miss.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);

//define velocity
//you can play with these formulas to adjust
//trajectory
v_x = (other.velocity_x*2+50*random());
v_y = (other.velocity_y*2+50*random());
v_z =250 + 160 * random()+(other.velocity_y+other.velocity_x)*0.30;

self.flags = self.flags - ( self.flags & FL_ONGROUND );
self.velocity = v;
};



but it doesnt work!!!

i hope someone knows whats wrong...

At my first glance it looks like it should work (only looked at the code you added though), what happens? Does it kick it anyway, or does it not work at all?

when i remove

if (self.kickgibs != TRUE)
return; it works, but without pressing the MOUSE2 button.

with
if (self.kickgibs != TRUE)
return; nothing happens!

Shouldn't it be other.kickgibs?
