« on: December 10, 2017, 11:45:16 AM »Is it possible for you to provide a Bot Template with the tilting feature at some point? I have a few bot vehicles that weren't released and they would benefit a lot with this feature.
I'd be more comfortable releasing it with the skateboard, as it's not as fleshed out right now as I'd like it to be. It won't be much longer now though.

Can you reproduce it? I've been battling with this stuff for a while and I have little idea what's causing it. Seems totally random

I remember in BOTY 2015 or 2016 when I confused the "who's nominated" section with the "who's been nominated" section and thought I had been nominated a bunch of times when in reality I had been nominated 0 times so I ended up making big idiot of myself with a thank you post. thanks guys for real this time
I'm nominating Conan because I really just don't think I'd have a single add-on released without his help

Yeah I believe it's a method for Player objects. I'm using Player::setLookLimits(%player, %up, %down). Here's an example of it being used in the default tank:
Code: [Select]
function armor::onMount(%this,%obj,%col,%slot)
{
Parent::onMount(%this,%obj,%col,%slot);
if(%col.getDataBlock() == TankVehicle.getId())
{
if(%slot $= 2)
{
%obj.setLookLimits(1,0);
}
}
else if(%col.getDataBlock() == TankTurretPlayer.getId())
{
%client = %obj.client;
if(isObject(%client))
ServerCmdUnUseTool(%client);
}
}

It works! Kinda. Have to fine tune it
Is the head able to move to the side?
If I'm able to directly set values for freelooking I don't see why not. As a matter of fact that would be very useful because it would give me another axis to animate the skateboard on
Dunno tho I'll have to look into it

I've sorta hit a roadblock which has killed my progress on the project but eventually I might revert to an old version and make more guns, currently busy with another project tho

« on: December 09, 2017, 07:07:23 AM »Isn't there a way to clean it up? Because that feature would be incredibly useful for bot vehicles.
Probably, but it's over my head. What it's doing right now is just firing a raycast down, and when it hits a brick it just gets the normal of the face it hit, and then calculates it with that.
I could probably interpolate it based on how diagonal we are to the x and y axis though, I was loving with it earlier
EDIT: Actually it might not be that hard, I could just set the look limits over time instead of snapping them. I'll forget with that too
can you clarify how you know what limits to set, as the limits would change based on direction you’re facing? are you comparing normal of face you’re on to your eye?
I'm using the transform of the skateboard, getting the rotation on the Z axis, and using that to identify whether or not I'm using the x or y Euler angle I got from the normal. For example, if Z rotation is between -45 and -135, or between 135 and 45, I know it's on the X axis, and then I can just flip it based on whether or not the angle is negative.
Taking that angle and turning it into a look limit is just dividing by 180 and adding 0.5. So if we're on a ramp that's 45 degrees, 45/180 + 0.5 = 0.75, so I set the look limits to 0.75 + 0.05, 0.75 - 0.05. If I need to flip it because we're facing in the negative direction, I just take 0.75 and subtract it by 1.
It's not the most elegant thing that's ever been done in Blockland but I could probably make it a bit smoother

« on: December 08, 2017, 05:53:11 PM »Update: It's actually not that hard to get the angle of the ramp we're on. Once I've got it I can manually change the angle of the skateboard using setLookLimits.
This is the result:
I don't think it's too bad but it requires a bunch of handicapped schedule spam and my trademarked Rally Dumbass Vector Calculus™ so I'll probably include a pref to disable the stuff and just go back to the old version

Awesome, I'll take a look
EDIT: Yeah it's totally possible actually, but it'll be difficult to add liveries to the skateboard after it's made from what I can tell, so if you want a design for the board y'all should post them in this thread now
