Getting in and OUT of a turret

[Parts]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with a spearhead script. Having played with every setting under the sun and searched the forums I'm still having no joy. I've tried the jeep script posted earlier on these forums but that doesn't work either.

I have a script that places a player on a 30 car MG turret on the back of a jeep. Problem is getting the guy off the demn thing! Using DetatchTurret seems to just remove the turrret from the jeep but the player is still attached to the turret. Anyone know how to do this? Here's the script I have so far:

Code: Select all

Jeep:

	//spawn the jeep
	spawn vehicles/jeep.tik "targetname" "jeep"
	$jeep.origin = "-433 3732 1184" 
	$jeep.angle = 330
	$jeep.health = 5000
	$jeep takedamage
	
	
	//spawn the trigger around the jeep
	spawn trigger_use "targetname" "JeepTrigger"
	$JeepTrigger.origin = $jeep.origin
	$JeepTrigger.angles = $jeep.angles
	$JeepTrigger.model = "static/vehicle_jeep.tik"
	$JeepTrigger triggerable
	$JeepTrigger notsolid
	
	$JeepTrigger setthread "GetInJeep"
		
end

GetInJeep:

		local.Player = parm.other

		$jeep thread EnterJeep local.Player
		thread WatchPlayerInJeep local.Player

end

EnterJeep local.Player:
	
	local.Player iprint "Getting in Jeep"
	local.vturretent = self queryturretslotentity 0
	local.vturretent unlock
	self attachturretslot 0 local.Player
	//local.player perferredweapon ".30cal Machine Gun"
	local.vturretent lock
end

WatchPlayerInJeep local.Player:

	wait 2
	local.repeat = 1
	while (local.repeat == 1)
	{
		if (local.Player.useheld == 1)
		{
			local.Player iprint "Exiting Jeep"
			$jeep thread LeaveJeep local.Player
			local.repeat = 0
		}
		
		wait 1		
	}
end

LeaveJeep local.Player:

	[b][color=red]//THIS IS THE THREAD THAT DOESN'T WORK!!![/color][/b]

                local.vturretent = self queryturretslotentity 0

	//self DetachDriverSlot 0
	//self DetachPassengerSlot 0
	local.vturretent unlock
	self detachturretslot 0
	
	releaseplayer 
	cueplayer
	//local.vturretent delete
	//local.vturretent item_droptofloor
	level.InJeep = 0

	local.Player finishuseobject
	local.Player physics_on
	local.Player ready
	local.Player turretexit local.vturretent
	local.Player weapnext
	local.vturretent remove
	local.Player physics_on
end

Try removing the turret immediately after detaching it.

nope

This is obviously something that has changed between MOHAA and Spearhead. It must be possible but just doesn't seem to want to work.

Currently I end up out of the jeep but attahed to the turret. So it looks like the turret is till there from first person view. however you cannot shoot the turet so I suspect if has actuallly been removed. I think it might have something to do with weapon selection!

Maybe you could try attaching NIL to the turret, thus removing the player.

Code: Select all

local.vturretent = self queryturretslotentity 0 
local.vturretent unlock 
self attachturretslot 0 NIL
local.vturretent lock

After you're stuck type 'state' in console. What does it say for legs and torso?

forcelegsstate and forcetorsostate?
