if you didnt notice, i made it print messages at various points of the script. the messages printed, but they stopped at 3. i ddint get anything after 3. my truck still just sits there, not following paths. i can hear the truck moving sound, but it does nothing plz help.

You typed the '4' line below the end of the thread, so you can't reasonably expect it to show up :?

path

Post by tltrude »

You must have an info_spline path with the first node named "introtruck1_path" in your map for it to work. And, the truck should have the name "introtruck1".

Or even better an info_vehiclepoint.

waypoint

Post by tltrude »

Far as I know, an info_vehiclepoint is just a waypoint that sits on the ground. His script calls for a path.

$introtruck1 drive $introtruck1_path

ok by making the truck notsolid, it follows the path.

now the next problem...

the script_origins and the truck clip dont move with teh truck. i binded the script origins and truck clip to the truck, but didnt work. i was stuck to the script origin, and i was released when the truck got to teh end, so that worked. so... why doesnt the truck clip//script_origins move with the script_model?

heres the new script...

ok this time i tried binding the everything to a universal script origin, then binding the script origin to the vehicle, but still no luck. :cry: :cry:

(the players are still glued to the origins.)

i unhid the clip to see if it was moving, but it wasnt. for some reason, the clip seems to halt the truck. by making it notsolid, the truck drove without a problem, but then whats the point of having a clip?

when i start the map, everyone is stuck to their origins, and their on the truck, but the truck drives off without us, and were still floating in the air, until the truck reaches the end, then we plop to the ground...

heres the new script... (sorry that it makes the scroll bar really small)

Make the clip brushes a script object and have the truck target it by selecting the truck first then the script object and press the control key and K . You should see a line from the truck to clips you can hide the clips under the terain or up in the sky if you want , I did this for a spearhead map but I think it is the same for mohaa maps . I know you can bind things to script objects and script models but don't know about normal models .

yeah but the clip has to be in the same plane of the vehicle. the player starts off riding in the vehicle, like in m1l1, m4l2, and m4l3.

I had a look at the m1l1.scr to see if I could see how they did it and here is what I found .
first they turn the physics of the player and friendlys off

level.actor1 = level.friendly1
level.actor2 = level.friendly2
level.actor3 = level.friendly3
level.actor4 = level.friendly4

if (level.intro == 1)
{

/*
level.friendly1 physics_off
level.friendly2 physics_off
level.friendly3 physics_off
level.friendly4 physics_off
*/

level.friendly1 notsolid
level.friendly2 notsolid
level.friendly3 notsolid
level.friendly4 notsolid

level.friendly1 exec global/disable_ai.scr
level.friendly2 exec global/disable_ai.scr
level.friendly3 exec global/disable_ai.scr
level.friendly4 exec global/disable_ai.scr

then they spawn a fake interior model for the player to be glued to I don't think this model draws

level.intropath = spawn script_model
level.intropath model "vehicles/gmctruckpath_opening.tik"
level.intropath.origin = (0 0 1)
level.intropath.angles = (0 270 0)

I think these are for animations

spawn script_model "targetname" "intropath3"
$intropath3 model "vehicles/gmctruckpath_opening.tik"
$intropath3.origin = (0 0 1)
$intropath3.angles = (0 270 0)
$intropath3.no_idle = 1

spawn script_model "targetname" "intropath2"
$intropath2 model "vehicles/truck2path_opening.tik"
$intropath2.origin = (0 0 1)
$intropath2.angles = (0 270 0)

level.intropath notsolid
$intropath2 notsolid
$intropath3 notsolid


this is the real truck

spawn script_model "targetname" "introtruck2" "spawnflags" "2"
$introtruck2 model "vehicles/opeltruck.tik"

$introtruck2 solid

$2ndtruckclip delete

spawn script_model "targetname" "introtruck" "spawnflags" "2"
$introtruck model "vehicles/gmctruck_opening.tik"
$introtruck anim idlenolights

$introtruck playsound truck1_run
$introtruck2 loopsound truck2_run
$introtruck2 anim start_wheels

exec global/entsound.scr $introtruck "driver" "dfr_m1l1_add01" 2 // Two hundred yards


level.actor1.angles = (0 270 0)
level.actor2.angles = (0 270 0)
level.actor3.angles = (0 270 0)
level.actor4.angles = (0 270 0)


spawn script_origin "targetname" "org_1"
spawn script_origin "targetname" "org_2"
spawn script_origin "targetname" "org_3"
spawn script_origin "targetname" "org_4"

level.actororg1 = $org_1
level.actororg2 = $org_2
level.actororg3 = $org_3
level.actororg4 = $org_4

}

level.flags[door] = 0 //
level.flags[bazooka] = 0 //
level.flags1 = 0

thread fader

if (level.intro == 0)
goto temp
else

level.intropath notsolid
spawn script_origin "targetname" "truckorg"

here they seem to spawn a non drawing turret to glue player to and puts the ai's in there position in the fake truck

local.turret = spawn models/statweapons/m1l1truckride.tik

if (level.glueplayer == 1)
{
local.o = level.intropath gettagposition "tag_camera" //gmctruck
local.o = local.o + (0 0 0)
$truckorg.origin = local.o
local.a = level.intropath gettagangles "tag_camera"
local.a[1] = local.a[1] + 210

$truckorg.angles = local.a

local.turret.viewangles = local.turret.viewangles - (local.oldangles - local.a)
local.oldangles = local.a
local.turret.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
}

if (level.exiting[1] == 0)
{
local.a = level.intropath gettagangles "Captain01 origin"
level.actor1.angles = local.a
local.o = level.intropath gettagposition "Captain01 origin" //gmctruck
level.actor1.origin = local.o
}



if (level.glueplayer == 1)
{
setcvar sv_fps "10"
local.turret setPlayerUsable 1
local.turret doUse $player
local.turret setPlayerUsable 0
$player glue $truckorg 0

$player physics_off
$player.turretride = local.turret
local.turret.viewangles = (0 180 0)
}
if (level.exiting[2] == 0)
{
local.a = level.intropath gettagangles "guy01 origin"
level.actor2.angles = local.a
local.o = level.intropath gettagposition "guy01 origin" //gmctruck
level.actor2.origin = local.o
}

if (level.exiting[3] == 0)
{
local.a = level.intropath gettagangles "guy2 origin"
level.actor3.angles = local.a
local.o = level.intropath gettagposition "guy2 origin" //gmctruck
level.actor3.origin = local.o
}

if (level.exiting[4] == 0)
{
local.a = level.intropath gettagangles "guy3 origin"
level.actor4.angles = local.a
local.o = level.intropath gettagposition "guy3 origin" //gmctruck
level.actor4.origin = local.o
}

local.turret glue $truckorg

After the truck ride

if (level.flags[introbazooka] == 0)
{
local.a = $intropath2 gettagangles "truck2 dummy"
// Rotate the angles by 90 degrees
local.a_pitch = local.a[2]
local.a_roll = -local.a[0]
local.a_yaw = local.a[1] + 270
local.a = ( local.a_pitch local.a_yaw local.a_roll )
// Now assign it to the truck
$introtruck2.angles = local.a
local.o = $intropath2 gettagposition "truck2 dummy"
$introtruck2.origin = local.o
// println $introtruck2.angles
}

Pretty complicated isn't it

ok i just about figured it out. what they do is use a script_model, glue you to a spot on there, and use followpath to make the script_model follow splinepaths. the only problem is it's a pain that you have to put in the angles manually, in order for the truck to look like it's turning. (think of func_train in half life).
