Working with Zones

[tommybricksetti]

How do I make an actual Zero Gravity zone? Setting the gravity mod to "0.0" only makes my player fall slowly, instead of float. Here's my code:

Code: [Select]

function Player::GrabZone(%obj)
{
if(%obj.isHanging)
{
%obj.ZoneKill();
%pos = %obj.getPosition();
%pz = new PhysicalZone()
{
velocityMod = "0.0";
gravityMod = "0.0";
gravity = "0.0";
extraDrag = "0.0";
position = %pos;
};
missionCleanup.add(%pz);
%pz.setScale("1 1 3");
talk("new physical zone works");
//this was executed
%obj.pz = %pz;
// %pz.setTransform(%pos);
}
}

I think you need to set the density to the same as the player or so I've heard

awesome, how do I do that? density = 90?

I have no idea sorry

Maybe do .dump();?

probably because your player was already falling down slightly
or that started as you created the zone

[tommybricksetti]

do you know how to change zone density?

Here's my updated code:

Code: [Select]

function Player::GrabZone(%obj,%vector)
{
if(%obj.isHanging)
{
%obj.ZoneKill();
%obj.isZoneKilled=0;
%pos = vectorAdd(%obj.getHackPosition(),"0 0 -1");
%pz = new PhysicalZone()
{
velocityMod = "0.0";
gravityMod = "0.0";
extraDrag = "0.0";
isWater = "0";
density = "200";
appliedForce = %vector;
position = %pos;
};
missionCleanup.add(%pz);
%pz.setScale("1 1 5");
// talk("new physical zone works");
%obj.pz = %pz;
}
}I think the problem is that the player density needs to be the same as the zone density. I do not, however, know how to do this.

try changing the density variable till it seems right

ugh, anyone useful?

Have you checked out zonebricks/zone events? It's possible to do with that, so maybe take a look at the code from those.

Yep, that's how I got what I have so far lol.
