Togglekey for player's friction.
by Shaan · in Technical Issues · 06/27/2005 (7:53 am) · 8 replies
Hi, I have added friction into my player to get him skid.
http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=20765
Now I need to bind this with a key to make it toggle.
After implementing the changes mentioned in above forum, I have tried this with no luck:
(in /client/scrips/default.bind.cs )
function toggleskid (%val)
{
if (%val)
$friction = 0.1;
else
$friction = 1.0;
}
moveMap.bind(keyboard, q, toggleskid);
I m new to torque, so if you guyz could help me. Thanx in advance.

Stick an echo statement in that function to make sure it is getting called. Beyond that you have to get the code working yourself.

$friciton has to be bound somewhere. Setting it to a new value doesnt do anyhting... you want to change the friction value of hte players datablock. Stick an echo statement in that function to make sure it is getting called. Beyond that you have to get the code working yourself.

I was wondering, by pressing a button, can i switch my player to another player who will have less friction to skid on the terrain and delete the first one.
Your help or suggestion will be highly appriciated. Thanx

That would be altering the firction feild of the datablock.

is it true ? I don't think so. Bcoz, i have implemented different speed and other player related stuff which is modified by pressing a specific button while the game is running. Or may be the friction is related to physics engine, that is why we should nt change it.
guyz, i need your suggestions. plz

Change it... If it doesnt muck up then leave it. That is what I would do.
