Deploy bots from moving vehical

by Edward Finlayson · in Torque Game Engine · 03/21/2005 (3:58 am) · 3 replies

Has anyone managed to get a vehical bot (say a lorry) to drive to a location and them a fixed number of 'bad guy' bots to deploy themselves from it in an AI manner.

this would be a great help for also with beach-head type bot landings.

It's not that hard.

1) create a vehicle with several mount points.

2) mount all your bots in it.

3) Set the driver setMoveDestination to the point you want ( check This Resource for info on bot driving )

4) when it reaches it's destination unmount the gang and set them to attack whatever you want.

Could you attach paths somehow to the vehicle, so that when the vehicle arrives the bots have paths they can deploy along.

Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction. I am now working my way through the book advertised here so I will soon be up to speed.

Thanks again.
