Drama / Re: Tezuni - What the forget was that.

« on: February 07, 2010, 10:19:28 PM »

I remember that stuff on the server really went to hell when my team just started sabotaging vehicles by blowing up small planes in order to critically damage everything at the enemy's base, creating a massive chain reaction of explosions that permanently halted the enemy's response.

The ALSO started to shoot their own team's planes whenever they took off without them in jealously. Which then usually killed their team mate.

A prime example is my helicopter. Since it was fast and had a mounted machine gun, everyone seemed to want one. However, even though there were 14 seats, people decided to just take the heli themselves and leave everyone else behind.

The first big error is this:

function gunImage::onFire(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   if(%obj.getDamagePercent() < 1.0)
      %obj.playThread(2, shiftAway);
%obj.playthread(2, spearThrow);
   Parent::OnFire(%this, %obj, %slot);

   %currSlot = %obj.lastFragSlot;
   %obj.tool[%currSlot] = 0;
   %obj.weaponCount--;
   messageClient(%obj.client,'MsgItemPickup','',%currSlot,0);
   serverCmdUnUseTool(%obj.client);                   
}
function GunImage::onDone(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   %obj.unMountImage(%slot);
}

The gun image is already used, therefore every time you fire the standard gun, you drop it. You need to create your own datablocks and images so you don't mess up other add-ons.

Modification Help / A few questions

« on: February 07, 2010, 09:22:00 PM »

I know some people are going to call me a "noob", but my scripting ability is sort of at that point

In threads commands like:
%obj.playThread(2, shiftAway);

What does the 2 in it mean? I couldn't figure it out.


I know there's a setVelocity command; I've already used it. But is there some way to simply add velocity? I tried
%obj.addVelocity("# # #")
But it didn't work


In function headers like:
function tbhVehicle::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%a,%b,%c,%d,%e)
What do the variables %this.%obj,%col,%a etc. mean? (yes, I took that from the Tank script)

And is there some way to make the "vehicle:onTrigger" function shoot in the direction your moving? I tried Heed's B24 bomber for reference, but it went in the universal direction.

Thanks guys! But I still have a few more questions

It's the slot that thread is playing in.
If you play another thread in slot 2, shiftAway will stop, and then that one called will play instead.
Generally, you would stop a thread by using .playThread(2, root);

When you say slot, do you mean as in arm or a slot system that allows multiple threads to play at once?

Modification Help / onCollision specific functions?

« on: February 07, 2010, 06:54:12 PM »

I'm trying to make so that when the collision box touches the ground (not the wheels), the vehicle will stop or do something. How? What is the map ground/floor datablock?

How many polys was it?

I never checked, but a lot. I had two fuel barrels on the back, which were really smoothed. When I removed them it got fixed

not sure, maybe a problem with the normals.

Never mind, it was just that the model was too complicated. No harm done

When it spawned in-game, it looked normal at first. But when I looked closer, I realized that the floor was missing. What happened??

1. Don't assume every "dropship" relates to Avatar

I'm working on the fire and the model. And once again, please read the title. I know for a fact Army Unit is making a similar one, look at his add-ons page.

http://www.cracked.com/funny-3989-criticism/
-image-
See: Counterattack.

"As everyone knows, criticism is a personal attack on you"

That is just nasty. Not even closely related to something worth reading. Good negative critique:
 "The model is terrible. Add more curves".
Or:
 "I hate that fire effect. Either change it or get rid of it please."

You just said it sucked. No recommendations. Just an insult.


Look, I'm working on all the stuff that's been brought up, put nicely or not. Though I have been on (correction) two servers that already have my heli.
And I have been changing things and thinking differently about this. Even before your post.
