Instant player action on server join.

by Anders Jacobsen · in Torque Game Engine · 02/02/2005 (8:55 am) · 5 replies

Hi, I've been poking around for a few hours and tried a few ideas, but I can't seem to make a player who joins (vehicle) the server get a vehicle and get control of it. I have to cycle the game... I don't want that ;)
(Working off of racing starter kit)

I want the player to get a vehicle and go off when joining, not having to wait for the game to cycle...

Any ideas?

Well, when you spawn a player, spawn a vehicle also, then set the vehicle as the clients control object, and maybe mount the player to it...

I don't mount players on vehicles. the client controls the vehicle directly.
Even tried calling the spawncar fun from ongameenter

Btw, fixed this... it was rather trivial since it was all in script.

He spawned the client AS the vehicle, most likely. At least, that what we're doing.

You put an if statement before the game is started to check if there are any players? If not, return false. If there are players, proceed.
