Author Topic: A way to set up automatic routes for vehicles.  (Read 696 times)

So, I've always kinda wanted to make a train that could pilot it self around a track. After seeing the tram topic I thought up an idea, what if there was an add-on, that included an idea which could create lists of positions. You tell it to start a new list, and click bricks to add the position of that brick to a the currently selected list, or you could add your current position. You could save and load lists, and possibly even assign speeds between points, so that you could simply have an admin sit in a vehicle, and type in a command to load one of the point lists up and follow it continuously. It doesn't have to be a train, it could be a car, or a bus, or even a boat or aeroplane.

Is this something I should bother making?

That sounds like a really great idea; if it's possible to make with torque then have a go c:

It would be nice to see vehicles moving on their own but the working would be sloppy.
You would have to constantly transform their position if i am right about how you want to do it.

Nope, you'd just create a bot and tell it to move to each point in order.
It'd be just like if a player was driving the vehicle.

Do you even know what you are talking about?

If it was that easy, i wonder why all the bot mods don't have driving ai yet.
If you put a bot in a vehicle, they will react very differently then when they walk.

I will look into bots and how they work, but I believe they can drive vehicles fine.
I have seen zombie bots drive jeeps before, and it worked fine.

Hey man i think that is a great idea, also if you make it im gonna download it for sure :D

They are driving circles around you.


Talk to Space Guy about driving AIs. He almost got one working.
