Directional Jetting

[chrisbot6]

I'm making a mod and I was wondering, since my mod uses a gravityless environment, if it would be possible to make a playertype with jets that boost you towards where you are looking instead of upward.

Is it possible?

[Treynolds416]

Yes it's possible

[chrisbot6]

Yes it's possible

Uh...

Can you tell me how?

[Treynolds416]

You'll have to package the jet button function (I'm reasonably sure it's armor::ontrigger), then get the player's eye vector using method getEyeVector() then constantly add a velocity in that direction until the jet button is released

Thanks! :D

I'm reasonably sure it's armor::ontrigger

Code: [Select]

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

		if(%slot == 4)
		{
			echo("\c2Oh look! Someone is jetting.");
		}
	}
};
activatePackage(Blah);

Wait

onTrigger is crouch

Talking bollocks again

Wait

onTrigger is crouch

... what?

Code: [Select]

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

		if(%val == 4)
		{
			echo("\c2Oh look! Someone is jetting.");
		}
	}
};
activatePackage(Blah);

Don't you mean %slot == 4?

Code: [Select]

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

		if(%val == 4)
		{
			echo("\c2Oh look! Someone is jetting.");
		}
	}
};
activatePackage(Blah);

Code: [Select]

package Blah
{
	function Armor::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val)
	{
		%r = parent::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val);
		...
		return %r;
	}
};

Better because onTrigger may have to return something

[jes00]

Don't you mean %slot == 4?

Lol my bad.

[elm]

You should use if(%slot == 4 && %val == 1)

[Treynolds416]

Is there any circumstance where %val is not true or false? If not, just use if(%val)

Nope.

Code: [Select]

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

		while(%slot == 4 && %val == 1)
		{
			%player.addVelocity(%player.getEyeVector());
		}
	}
};
activatePackage(directionaljet);

This crashes the game. I'm assuming this is because you can't put the eyevector right into addVelocity and expect it to work.

So, how do I change the eyeVector into a number that can be put there?

package directionaljet
{

	{
		parent::onTrigger(%this, %player, %slot, %val);

		while(%slot == 4 && %val == 1)
		{
			%player.addVelocity(%player.getEyeVector());
		}
	}
};
activatePackage(directionaljet);

Lol, don't use a while loop. Just use a schedule, in a different function. I'll write something up, sec.

Edit: Here you go, try this:

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