Players movement speed & Adding a new player

by Sam.E · in Torque 3D Professional · 12/15/2010 (12:18 am) · 2 replies

I have been looking around all the .cs files I have from the FPS example and haven't been able to find anything about the player's speed. I would like to change Gideon's movement speed to a faster/slower one. Is this possible with the binary version?

This also brings me to my next question how would I go about adding a new player in the binary version? Where the player is main character (controlled by the human player) instead of using Gideon?

Speed settings are in the player datablock, found in "art/datablocks/player.cs". These can be adjusted for forward, back and sidestep speeds.

And see the shapefile property of the stock Gideon datablock: either change that field, or duplicate/derive a new datablock for your custom character. If creating a new datablock you would also have to tell the spawn function which datablock to use.
