Directional Jetting

[chrisbot6]

-awesomecode-

I only seem to jet normally when using that - I'm not moving in any direction apart from upwards.

Edit: Trying somthing...

That's why i said:

//assuming this is correct.
%this.addVelocity(%player.getEyeVector());

Treynolds will come in here with the sorcery math to help you out.

Okay

Modified the script a little:

Code: [Select]

package directionaljet
{
function Armor::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val)
{
parent::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val);

if(%slot == 4 && %val == 1)
{
%player.directionalJet(%player,1);
}
else
if(%slot == 4 && %val == 0)
{
%player.directionalJet(%player,0);
}
}
};
activatePackage(directionaljet);

function player::directionalJet(%this,%bool)
{
if(%bool)
{
cancel(%this.djl);

//assuming this is correct.
%this.addVelocity(%player.getEyeVector());

%this.djl = %this.schedule(1,directionalJet,%bool);
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}

[elm]

package directionaljet
{
function Armor::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val)
{
parent::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val);

if(%slot == 4 && %val == 1)
{
%player.directionalJet(%player,1);
}
else
if(%slot == 4 && %val == 0)
{
%player.directionalJet(%player,0);
}
}
};
activatePackage(directionaljet);

function player::directionalJet(%this,%bool)
{
if(%bool)
{
cancel(%this.djl);

//assuming this is correct.
%this.addVelocity(%player.getEyeVector());

%this.djl = %this.schedule(1,directionalJet,%bool);
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}

That's wrong... because %this is the player. plus, now the %bool will be the player, and what is supposed to be the bool, won't even be in the function at all...

Several things:
- Elm's code has some unnecessary formatting, but that doesn't affect anything
- To get this code to work, you have to scale the eye vector by another number because the length of the vector is only one. I recommend 10
- your player will still have the same upwards velocity as it does when jetting normally. There are several ways to attempt to fix this, if you even want to

[elm]

Try this, because I put %player.getEyeVector when it was supposed to be %this lol:

Code: [Select]

package directionaljet
{
function Armor::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val)
{
parent::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val);

if(%slot == 4 && %val == 1)
{
%player.directionalJet(1);
}
else
if(%slot == 4 && %val == 0)
{
%player.directionalJet(0);
}
}
};
activatePackage(directionaljet);

function player::directionalJet(%this,%bool)
{
if(%bool)
{
cancel(%this.djl);

//assuming this is correct.
%this.addVelocity(%this.getEyeVector());

%this.djl = %this.schedule(1,directionalJet,%bool);
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}

Trying...

Assuming that by "scale" Treynolds meant multiply:

Code: [Select]

%this.getEyeVector()*10

[elm]

%this.getEyeVector()*10

Code: [Select]

%this.addVelocity(vectorScale(%this.getEyeVector(),10));


[Treynolds416]

It's a vector, so you have to use vectorScale(vec,scale)

[chrisbot6]

It's a vector do you have to use vectorScale(vec,scale)

Oh, right.

[chrisbot6]

It works now, but I can't turn it off by any means other than ctrl-k, which gets difficult to handle

Oops, where it says return 0 in the function, put cancel(%this.djl); above it.

[chrisbot6]

Okay, one more thing:
How exactly do I get rid of the normal up velocity?

Edit: Never mind, it's fine. Thanks, guys!
