Moving vehicles in MP tut ?

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

Is it at all possible to make a movable jeep (model jeep).
I read the post regarding the rollercoaster but I can't figure it out.
Searched around for a tut but can only find the SP tut.

You can make it move just like you can a brushmodel, if thats all you're trying to do. You just need to add the model as a script_model and give it a targetname. I think theres at least 1 tutorial on scripting objects to move on here.

Reminds me a bit of the end on jm_railyard.

Leveller made that, maybe you could get in touch with him somehow.

aha, thx, I'll try it and get back yo ya.

Ok, I made a movable truck. But you can walk through it. I made it a script_model instead of a script_brushmodel, cause script_brushmodel doesn't work on models like a car (I think).
Any suggestions on how to make the truck solid (not with clip around it I mean)

p.s. When you place the same truckmodel in a map it's solid. (just standing in a map, not moving I mean)

KS is correct, but to do it even better its better to make a array of the clips and vehicle, you can do this by giving them the same targetname, only a little change to the code.

Instead of vehicle = getent ...... use this:

Code: Select all

vehicle = getentarray("vehicle","targetname");

   for (i=0 ; i < vehicle.size; i++) 

Offcourse change the name to somewhat else.

Now the game will see the clips and the boat was 1 object so they will nicely move the same. KS way is also possible but this is just a bit cleaner code to use.[/code]

If you want multiple vehicles moving in differen't directions, speeds and distances, that won't work. Would be easier to just link the clips to the vehicles with

Code: Select all

clip linkto(vehicle);

aha, ok. I'll try that this evening

[All-Killer]

Why cant that work? Cant see why?

If you want multiple vehicles moving all a different way, then you need to have different coordinants in the commands right? So it doesnt make sence then.. you just need more arrays like vehicle1, 2 etc.

[Luke]

Well i'm not saying it won't work, just that generally you would use an array for things that do the same thing. I guess you could do it like that with a defined speed, and target each vehicle. But it depends what he wants to do with them.

Use an array to link the clip to the vehicle.

for(i=0;i<array.size;i++)
array linkto(vehicle);


Enough said.
