Script_model speed

Alcoholic · Post by **Alcoholic** » Mon May 26, 2003 6:18 am

Im making a single player map where you ride in a truck. the truck is a script_model (opel_truck.tik). my guess is it runs on info_splinepaths, so thats what im using. my question is, how/where do i define the script_model's speed?

Don't use a script_model, use a vehicle -> opeltruck instead. Then you can use the drive command.

is the vehicle already clipped? also, the ea made maps used script models, and i was wonderin if i could do that too.

For clipping you need a collision ent, a script_object made out of clip brushes.

what i meant was is the vehicle>opel truck already clipped? i know the script_model isnt, and i already clipped it wiht a script object.

No the vehicle isn't automatically clipped. It just uses a bounding box (poor collission detection).

how do i change the speed of a script model? the campaign used script models and they had different speeds and all. how do you do it?

You can supply it as a parameter for the drive command.

so i can give a script_model the order to drive?

If you use a spline path, the speed is set in the nodes with Key: speed and Value: (number of units per second).

ok ill try that.

You will need to use flypath or followpath though, which means that the wheels of the truck won't rotate.

that doesnt matter, the player cant see the truck during the ride anyway, and it'll make my life alot easier when the player jumps out of the truck.
