Possible Roller Coaster?

Now that i think about it. I'm pretty sure we could make a roller coaster, because think of the carride or truckride mission, your going up and down hills and around corners in a car... How come you couldnt do that in multiplayer?

A rollercoaster sounds fantastic - dont know how youd script it though. Il take a look at some of the sp map gscs.

I think many people hav ethought about it ( I know I have), and yes it can be done quite easily, it would just take a while to script and tbh, the results would be that amazing. Feel free to have fun trying though :)

Someone made a vehicle mod for cod 2 where it sticks to the terrain, think it was UN or something..I doubt the coding is for the faint hearted though :P

Yes you can. Its called targeting.

Can you move a entity in a smooth arc with a steeper slope? Like a skateboard ramp?

Yes, but it isnt easy and requires maths.

Thank you, but what kind of math's then, because im doing the highest grade in math on school in the Netherlands possible , am i missing something or what? :P

i think it would involve calculating the degree of the slope and then you would half to give the cart a ratio to Move x by y and x being time it moves up to the time it moves forward, you would half to find a ratio for that there for making it go up... then the same ratio going back down if its just a simple simetrical hill...


I am in 9th grade, and im taking 12th grade math :P

they wouldnt let me take collage grade math... :( (shitheads)

well could you use a script_origin to make the cart follow a path?

Exactly. Thats why you use the ratios

could work, just make them like pathnodes, just mp
