Binding objects

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

well how do i bind something to my players feet?

would i need to use a line like something this?

$origin.bind = $player
or $object.bind = $player

or would i need to use a trigger?

Explain what you want to do. Both of those are wrong.

yeah i kind of thought they were wrong... i was just guessing

have you ever played ****CrazyServerMods****?
well i want to do something like they do... bonding objects to a player's feet. Then it removes player physics and lets you move forward while staying at the same height!like many other newbs, i marvel at the complex scripting and long hours this must take. I NEED to learn how to bind this stuff!

Well I'm not sure where the player's origin is but:

Code: Select all

$thingy bind $player

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

really? is it THAT simple???!!!

[blue60007]

Well, the player's origin is probably at waist high, so you'll need to loop a script that updates it's postion:

Code: Select all

thread attatch_thingy

attatch_thingy:


$attatch_thingy.origin = $player.origin + 0 0 -46//player's origin, but 46 units lower

goto attatch_thingy

end

I don't think the $player.origin + 0 0 -46 is quite right but it's the idea...

[lizardkid]

nah, it'd be 0 0 46, - 46 would be underneath him.

[blue60007]

But where is the player's origin? If it is waist high, then you'd want to use -46 so it is at his feet.

[tltrude]

The players origin is on the ground (blue and green cross). So, (0 0 46) would put it at his hips.



Btw, the rectangle on the ground is for the shadow and it rotates around the players origin as he walks.

[Master-Of-Fungus-Foo-D]

well, blue...
your scriot didnt attatch it to the player...
but the higgins dissapeared though...

[lizardkid]

so what you are trying is to make the player control the higgens?

try looking at the first driving tut here at .map, it hows how to control a tank, my guesss is it's the same principal. but, if you'd like to try something fast...

Code: Select all

$higgins show

your script might be causing it to somehow use the hide keyword. show is the opposite.
