Author Topic: The Fuel Script for Vehicles (Read 953 times)

Master Shadow Phoenix · February 11, 2010, 01:28:04 PM

This idea hit my head yesterday and I was wondering if this was possible even for vehicles. What the script does is that it shows the amount of fuel. If the Blockhead uses it, the script is activated. What the script does is that it makes the vehicle eat up the fuel and if there's none left, it stops moving. The vehicle won't go on unless if it's respawned or a certain event is used to refuel it.

I've had this idea before too. Never attempted it though.

I'm 80% sure it's possible.

we need a speedomater that measures MPH. none of this KPH stuff.

This would be perfect for city rps and such, but if you want to build far away... that might not happen with out walking

Actually, what would work better is if there were refuel bricks.

This would be great for vehicle TDMs because people flying air missions would have to return to base periodically to refuel.

And of course ammo could be implemented as well...

How would you detect miles on a fair basis. If we were detecting miles in brick size, it would seem stupid because 1 mile would be the length of the bedroom, which is about 3 meters. BPH, Bricks Per Hour, seems like a better way to go. This probably wouldn't be hard to make. Check the vehicles velocity, how fast it is going depends on how much fuel it uses. The hard part would be making the vehicle stop moving when it runs out of fuel.

It's completely possible, and not all that complicated too.

If only the onVehicleTouch event didn't fail in the first place.

I suggested this back in V8, back then it was shotdown due to being impractically hard to implement

Maybe now, with our newer Blockland we could do it

Seeing as Blockheads are like 6cm high you'd always be going >1MPH.
