Truck not moving.....help please

[Waylander76]

Hi

I followed the tutorial on this site and have a truck with waypoints,
but no matter what I try the truck just won't move.

I just need a player to 'use' the truck by using a trigger_use to start
it's journey along the waypoints and then have the truck stop.

The map is a Multiplayer Spearhead map

I have a trigger_use targetname truck_trigger,a truck targetname trk
and 6 waypoints targetnames wap1,wap2,wap3,wap4,wap5 and wap6.

My script is below any help appreciated......

Code: Select all

main:

level waittill prespawn

exec global/ai.scr
exec gloal/friendly.scr 

level waittill spawn

level.defusing_team = "axis" 
level.planting_team = "allies"
level.targets_to_destroy = 2 
level.bomb_damage = 200 
level.bomb_explosion_radius = 2048 

//level waittill roundstart

thread truck
end

truck:

$truck_trigger waittill trigger

$trk drive $wap1
$trk waittil drive
$trk drive $wap2
$trk waittill drive
$trk drive $wap3
$trk waittill drive
$trk drive $wap4
$trk waittill drive
$trk drive $wap5
$trk waittill drive 
$trk fullstop // or fullstop (hit the brakes!)
 
goto truck 
end

It has been a while and never did do much like this but ... Do your waypoints target each other to form a path ? If it is one path all you need to do is to use drive with the first waypoint . Are you useing a vehicle and not a static vehicle ? This is an old thread from some map I made maybe there are some things in it that will help

jeep_start:

spawn vehicles/jeep.tik "targetname" "jeep" "origin" $jeep_path1.origin

hi bdbodger...yes I have 6 way points that target each other forming a path. In radiant all are linked as they should be.
Targetnames are wap1 to wap6, wap1 targets wap2,wap2 targets wap3 etc.

I'm using a vehicle model taken from the M1L1 script, spawned in using your script below, plus some bits from m1l1.

What happens is the truck gets spawned and the wheels are turning
but it's not moving to the first waypoint

What am I missing??? Why won't the truck move??

Code: Select all

main:

level waittill prespawn

exec global/ai.scr
exec gloal/friendly.scr 

level waittill spawn

level waittill roundstart
thrad truck

end

truck:

spawn script_model "targetname" "trk" "spawnflags" "2" "origin" $truck_origin.origin 
$trk model "vehicles/opeltruck.tik"
$trk rendereffects "-shadow"
$trk nodamage 
$trk anim idlenolights
$trk drive $wap1  300 30 200 level.lookahead
$trk waittill drive
$trk stop 
end
