Airliner/bomber plane

by Heedicalking · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 03/02/2009 (12:34 pm) · 6 replies

Is it possible to be able to have a flying vehicle such as an airliner and be able to have passengers move around inside of it without them flying into walls because of the velocity? I also wanted to know that if i made a bomber with turrets on the side, would the turrets flail because of velocity or would they stay in the dirrection the player aim them while the plane is in motion.

Not in stock torque. You can use flyingVehicles scripts for the plane, but to have passengers who can walk around, you would have to add code to do that. Check out the objects people ride on resource to get an idea how to code it.

I miswrote the name of that resource. It should have been "Platforms people can ride on". A forum search will produce it.

Does the plane have to actually be flying?

Can you create a trigger, portal or something that transports the players to a simple airplane sitting still and allow the players to move inside with clouds moving past the windows to simulate movement?

Very easy to simulate...

Well, i was thinking something like a airliner that can be landed by an actual pilot. I just wanted to know if people could move around an such.
