float decoding - player entity

[lm82jyke]

when printing out vectors for player entities the values seem to be decoded wrong.
while the m_vecOrigin of non-player entities are shown as mapcoordinates,
the player m_vecOrigin is not given as mapcoordinate.
here is an example with the prop-decoding-flags printed out

is this a bug or am i getting something wrong
thanks in advance

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem

[trophymursky531]

I'm hitting this too, did anyone figure out why the flag is getting set wrong?

[lucas-feijo]

I did, the values are being decoded as int instead of as float. To fix it, just cast the values to int, then to binary, then back to float. Here's how I'm doing it in python, no idea if it's the best way:

import struct

def fix_position(x):
	return struct.unpack('!f',struct.pack('!I', int(x)))[0]
