Armor::onMount

by AIDan · in Torque Game Engine · 05/30/2002 (8:17 am) · 6 replies

Hi

%obj.client.setObjectActiveImage(%vehicle, 2);
The function setObjectActiveImage is missed.

I cannot find any similar function for clients.
Anyone can help me to fix this?

The camera is not mounted to the vehicle. I searched the createPlayer function but could not find any useful, though.

greetings
Daniel

Can you explain in a better way what you are trying to do?

I want to enter a vehicle: Armor::onMount.

As I remember, there were a few things you had to do in the vehicle and player code to get mounting to work. Unfortunately, I had a harddrive melt down so I'm without all that work [and the resource I did on it] and just haven't gotten to that point in reconstructing things. If you haven't figured it out by the time I get to it, I'll go ahead and post the resource.

Well yes there were some mods that needed to be done to the player class, I don't remember them either, but if you search a bit, there are a couple of resources about this one.
Good Luck!

I solved the problem by removing the player and putting in the vehicle instead.

%client.player.delete();
%client.player= %vehicle;

%client.camera.setTransform(%vehicle.getEyeTransform());
%client.setControlObject(%vehicle);

That is not the best solution, because all player info (health, inventory, etc.) are lost and when dismounting the vehicle, you have to create a new player.

This is much better:
function Armor::onMount(%this,%obj,%vehicle,%node)
{
	if(%node ==0)
	{
		%client= %obj.client;
		%obj.setTransform("0 0 0 0 0 1 0");
		
		//%obj.setActionThread(%vehicle.getDatablock().mountPose[%node],true,true);
		%obj.hide(true);
		
		%obj.lastWeapon = %obj.getMountedImage($WeaponSlot);
		%obj.unmountImage($WeaponSlot);
		
		%client.camera.setTransform(%vehicle.getEyeTransform());
		%client.setControlObject(%vehicle);
	}
}

The hiding causes the gam to crash, but we will fix this.
