FPS to Racing on the fly
by Robert Doyle · in Torque Game Engine · 07/27/2005 (11:13 am) · 2 replies
I am working on a game idea where the player will be able to enter and exit a vehicle while in the game. What are the appropriate steps to do this transition?
I was looking through the forums and they said something about switching gui's, but I am not seeing any type of true answer to this on the forums.
this is the code I found in the Racing demo. (.\server\scripts\game.cs)
I then implimented this into the tutorial as a bound key, specifically to switch from a fps to a car. (./client/defult.bind.cs)
And of course the game froze, then bombed... LOL
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

function testSwitch()
{
exec("~/server/car.cs");
%cl = ClientGroup.getObject( %clientIndex );
%cl.setControlObject(%cl.car);
exec("~/client/config.cs");
}And of course the game froze, then bombed... LOL

3DGPAI1 have a good example on how to do that. You really don't want to mix both resources. What you want to do is have a car object in your game and use the mount command to mount your player in it with one key. It's not that hard to do.
