Making a Mountable Horse as a vehicle.

by Rob Riddell · in Torque Game Engine · 04/28/2004 (9:02 am) · 8 replies

I am starting the idea to make a non-wheeled vehicle that will be mountable.

I am currently reading and re-reading resources related to the vehicle creation issue and have a good start from the stoddart resource in example/scripting area of the documentation.

But which template to start with? The wheeled or the hover or a flyer that doesn't fly, but stays on the ground?

I will be working on this tonight and thought I might ask if anyone else has made a horse 'vehicle' in a game.

Thanks in advance.

Working on this, not too far into it but we're starting from the hover style using animation. Not really the default "template" but from that point of view.

Wouldn't just a normal new playercharacter model do, with the normal player mounted on top, if your character always looks the same?

Hey guys I thought that there was a content pack coming out that provided mountable horses etc. You might want to contact Robert Brower and see if you could get/purchase the pack from him directly. :)

Maybe treat it as a ai bot that spawns in at a predetemined spot with the mmountable as 'true'?

Matt Benya is 100% correct. Mountable horse has *already* been made by Robert Brower.

Yes I do have a mountable horse. It has armor that also mounts to it as well as a knight with swords, but it's not released. I've had very little time to put in the finishing touches these days.

Robert did you make a new vehicle class?

Eric Hartman made a very good horse using a player model. Check out www.ageoftime.com.

It works really well, floats in water etc. Its basically just another player you can mount.
