Jetpack help

by Samuel Harper · in Torque Game Engine · 10/03/2006 (8:53 am) · 9 replies

I'd like to experiment a bit with having the player move around with a jetpack (similar to the one I saw on Tribes 2)

I've looked for some example code - but didn't see any.

Is this something I can do in script? Would I have to create a vehicle for this - or can I just change some attributes on the player?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sam

I recently submitted a jetpack resource. I basically took a couple of old resources, combined them, cleaned up some code and got it working for 1.4.

Not approved yet so here's a link.

Great -
Thanks Tim

@Surge - yea - I did searching with most of those terms - turned up a lot of blogs talking about Jetpacks - but no actual code

@Tim - I also just did a second search on 'jetpack' thinking I missed yours - but I still didn't pull it up - maybe it's something in my profile settings.

Thanks!

Mine won't show up in a search as it's not yet approved. Thus I provided you with a link. When someone from GG approves resources again it will appear in a search.

You're more than welcome, my pleasure.

It is pretty fun to be able to fly around =)
