Mountng a car in FPS (TGE 1.4)

by Randy Hearn - Magnum · in Torque Game Engine · 12/19/2005 (5:26 pm) · 3 replies

Don't know what happened on my last post. It posted before I could type the message. Sorry bout that.

What I have done is created a Dodge pickup and created a mount point mount0. I have copied over the car.cs from the starter.racing tut and have set mostly everything up and I can insert the car in my game. I have had it in as Shapebase and Imagebase .. need to find out more on this.


Problem is I can find a lot of tutorials on mouting things, but not really clear on how to create the datastructure.


I have also modified the default.bind to map the "E" kep to enter the car. Problem is, not sure what command I should issue. so far I have the following command, but unclear on what to add for the ???.


moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "e", "commandToServer('?????');", "");


I would post more on my car.cs but i have hacked it a bit, and need to get it back to where I was -:))

Suggestions? Links?

    This is an excellent tutorial: http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=3925

    It got me a vehicle up and running in no time. FYI, You have to spawn the vehicles, opening the world editor screws up thier functionality for some reason.

    Ok, bad idea to hit refresh key. Double posts... Sorry.



    But that resource worked thanks. That is a starting point. Not just to sit back and figure out what I actually just did:)



    I could not use my own vehicle, I could mount but no movement. Gotta look at the dts nodes and see what I am missing.

    Other issue is you are correct. Gotta get these to spawn. Entering V to drop a truck on command is boring :)))

    Thanks
