Moving inside a vehicle

by Jedive · in Torque Game Engine · 09/25/2005 (4:33 pm) · 8 replies

Taking for example battlefield 2, or another game with big vehicles (tanks, bus...).

Could be posible (modifying the engine code or only with scripts) setup vehicles with people/drivers who could look around, shoot, and move inside?

Yep. i dont think it would be possable with script, but what you gotta do is make it so when a player is in contact with the veh, the ships Velocity is added onto the players. now...its not that simple but thats the basic idea.

I believe there was a post back then telling how to do it...

Look around and shoot is easy - walking around inside of it is a little trickier, although BF2 doesn't have much of that...

Well, BF2 is only an example.

Anyone could think in a game you can move inside a vehicle, and that vehicle move around the map (no tricks), i dont remember anything like this.

In BlackHawkDown you can move around freely on boats choppers and more.
I think it was Matthew Fairfax that showed some lovely example on moving around on a flying platform. But i dont know if he gonna release any code to the public.

He said he was thinking of adding it to TGE 1.4, if I remember correct.
