Code: Select all
local.speed == local.speed * local.speed Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2004 10:35 pm
That's because 1 * 1 = 1 
To make the speed increase exponentially, use the following:
local.speed = 1.1 * local.speed
Where 1.1 is the 'factor of growth'

lol i aint that simple, i changed the start speed to 5, n it still didnt work

is it == or = u're using in that line?fuhrer wrote:lol i aint that simple, i changed the start speed to 5, n it still didnt work

==
after reading the scripting reference just now i get the feeling it should be = aint had time to try it yet

yes, i believe == is just for comparing two variables. At least I would use = ( and == just in if clauses), but then, I'm here mostly in search for As then for Qs

its only moving at a constant speed, altho it seems to multiply once as its definatley moving faster than 5 ups......so maybe its not looping for some reason just making the speed at local speed * 5 and keeping it at that.
Code: Select all
level waittill spawn
end
go:
local.speed = 1
$acc_trig waittill trigger
$accelerator moveto $end
$accelerator move
while(local.speed < 2000)
{
local.speed = local.speed * 5
$accelerator speed local.speed
wait .02
}
endmove

I don't think you can change the speed without telling it to move again.
It is going to be a rather sudden stop. Using "end" as a targetname is probably not a good idea.
Code: Select all
level waittill spawn
end
go:
local.speed = 1
$acc_trig waittill trigger
$accelerator moveto $end
while(local.speed < 2000)
{
local.speed = local.speed * 5
$accelerator speed local.speed
$accelerator move
if ( $accelerator.origin == $end.origin )
{
break
}
wait .001
}
end

not doing anything now

ok its working,
but for some reason when the speed gets to around 600, the acclerator stops and im gettin crushed, thers nothing in the way to stop it from reaching the waypoint,
after about it takes 1/4 of my health it carries on moving, then crushes me again when it reaches the waypoint.
any ideas?
go:
local.speed = 1
$acc_trig nottriggerable
local.rider = parm.other
local.rider glue $1
while(local.speed < 2000)
{
iprintln "speed " local.speed
local.speed = local.speed + 10
$accelerator speed local.speed
$accelerator moveto $end
$accelerator move
wait .08
}
goto go
end

The "end" waypoint may be to low and the cab slowly sinks down as it gets closer to it. Info_waypoints should always be in the exact center of the object and object detination.
Ps: I tested it and found there are limits to the speed you can move the player. At a top speed of 553 all was well, but at 1024 the player blocked movement and was slowly crushed to death. You might get around that by making the player "notsolid" while he is glued.
Here is the script I used for the test--my track was 7300 unit long.
