Helicopter verticle takeoff help

Try doing the following, see if anything seems to happen.

If nothing happens there try changing %obj.AddVelocity to %this.addVelocity.

Code: [Select]

function GSFSeaCopterVehicleData::OnTrigger(%this, %obj, %triggerNum, %val)
{
%obj.addVelocity("0 0 10");
echo("Rofl copter goes SwooshSwooshSwoosh!");
}

flyingWheeledVehicle::onTrigger(%this,%obj,%triggerNum,%val) is not an existing method.  It will not work.  It has to be packaged with the armor::onTrigger() and parented.

I'm still getting syntax errors:

Code: [Select]

package GSFSeaCopter
{
armor::onTrigger(%this,%obj,%slot,%state)
{
if(%slot == 2 && %state == 1 && %obj.getObjectMount().getDataBlock().getName() $= "GSFSeaCopter")
{
%obj.addVelocity("0 0 10");
}
Parent::onTrigger(%this,%obj,%slot,%state);
}
};
activatePackage(GSFSeaCopter);

Code: [Select]

function ServerCmdHeliup(%client)
{
%pmount = %client.player.getObjectMount();
if(%pmount.getDataBlock().GetName() $= "NameVehicle")
{
%pmount.setVelocity("0 0 10");
}else{
messageclient(%client,"","You are not on a Name.");
}
}

function NameVehicle::OnTrigger(%this, %obj, %triggerNum, %val)
{
   if(%val){
      if(%triggerNum == 2){
      ServerCmdHeliup(%obj.spawnbrick.client);
  }
   }
}
This does get the Vehicle up, but you have to keep on repressing the spacebar.

Why would you use a server command if anyone can do it by pressing Jump? I could understand if you'd made a special keybind, but that just seems useless.

[Sniper4hire]

Code: [Select]

function NameVehicle::OnTrigger(%this, %obj, %triggerNum, %val)
{
   if(%val){
      if(%triggerNum == 2){
      %pmount = %client.player.getObjectMount();
      %pmount.setVelocity("0 0 10");
 }
   }
}

There is no addVelocity() in this class.

[[GSF]Ghost]

Thanks Sniper4hire it works fine; I'll give credit when the Sea Copter is released. And thanks everyone else for helping.

[Tom]

There is no addVelocity() in this class.

Then addVelocity is in its parent classes.

[Azimuth]

Then addVelocity is in its parent classes.

No, it is not.  If it was in a parent class, the WheeledVehicle class would contain the method.

[Tom]

Oh yeah, addVelocity is only for player objects, but setVelocity is on many classes.
