RotateX/Y/Z and move forward

Hey,

I want an object moving forward and rotateX/Y/Z at the same time.
Maybe with a while loop ?
Thanks

well i would mess with angles myself.

but you can use movexup etc like so



$object moveup 32
$object move
$object movexup 77
$object waitmove

iprintln "finished mooving both"

i've seen this used -

$object moveEast 800
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove

What sets the speed to move object?

You can issue a few move commands at a time and activate them with one waitmove, I mean like this:

Code: Select all

self moveNorth 16
self moveWest 16
self moveDown 16
self waitmove

Self will start moving diagonally north-west-down at the moment when the waitmove command is issued.

@Viper:

Code: Select all

local.object speed 150

Will set local.object's speed to 150 units per second.

Thankyou all

Code: Select all

$object moveto $waypoint1 
$object rotateYdownto 180 
$object waitmove

or

Code: Select all

self moveto $waypoint1 
self moveWest 16 
self moveDown 16 
self waitmove

This is also possible ?

I would use

$object moveto $waypoint1
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove

Another ? on this.

Is there a way to set the speed of rotation seperate from speed of movement?

It's a parameter of the rotate command. Look in g_allclasses.html, it's all there.

using yaw and rotation is also great for making a truck like leaning over a cliff and on fire or something like that. I used it once for a truck on its side halfway on a slightly elevated terrain and half on a lower terrain whie one fire. Turned out nice

You can set time I think on rotation . $object rotateYdownto 180 is absolute it rotates down to 180 but if you just did $object rotatey ? the ? would be degrees per second I belive . $object rotatey 360 would rotate y once per second to stop it you would have to do $object rotatey 0

$object time 3
$object moveto $waypoint1
$object rotateYdownto 180
$object waitmove

$object time 3 is how long itll take to move, so they lesser the number the faster

My rule of thumb is speed for movement time for rotation .

When I use this:

Code: Select all

test:
$test moveto $waypoint1 
$test rotateYdownto 180 
$test waitmove

I get this in console:

Code: Select all

Error, no script should be loaded before loadout.scr

And when I apply this script to an object :

your $bathallied entity isn't being read correctly. does it exist? spell the targetname right?

the loadout.scr thing, you can't exec stuff before main.

Runt · Post by **Runt** » Sat Jul 02, 2005 7:52 pm

does it exist? spell the targetname right?

Yes, Yes.

If I make a brush into a script object and give it a targetname "test" it does work. But when I give an object a targetname of "test" I get the NULL listener error
