Has anyone made a flyble plane or might know where to start

You would start by understanding how driveable tanks work. If you look in the new releases forum, you'll see someone has made a flyable hilicopter. The hard part is making the view form the cockpit, if you are using the plane models in the game.

good luck - it's a lot of work.

Can you make a script origin which makes the players view target it so it can see from the script origin?
what a mouthfull...

Yes, but it is called a func_camera. Here is a little tutorial map that has a camera. Go up into the tower and step on the wooden mark.

Remember all players on the server have to see through this camera

well, you could be cheap and use huddraw

but then, if a player leaves the cockpit, they still will see the cockpit on their screens

but then, cant you just use:

$player[local.i].viewangles = $lookthisway.angles

thats what i used for this one script where a player had to drive a fully loaded opel truck through a checkpoint.

Isnt it alright if the plane is just single player?
Because then you don't have to worry about all the players

buddy, i don't want to sound condensceding, pessimistic, or mean, but...

you're not going to be able to make flying planes

scopio_midget and jv_map: 2 uber-good scripters who have been at this for way longer than you have-these are the only 2 guys EVER! to make something fly in mohaa

why don't you fiddle around with the scripting language a bit, working on smaller projects, and then try something revolutionary

good point..
What about drivable Tigers?
lol anything challenging is fine 4 me

drivable tigers are easy, but the front of the turret blockz your view. panzers are OK. you might wanna see. its a simple matter of:

$tank attachdriverslot 0 $player

Yes but getting the view might be hard.

I've got a view above the tiger but it doesn't follow it nor change direction

Alcoholic · Post by **Alcoholic** » Sat Jul 12, 2003 3:43 am

how do you adjust the view? maybe i can figure out the rest.

I placed the func_camera on top of the tiger.
You can get the code in tltrudes tut.
Heres the script

Code: Select all


cuecamera $cam1

I think thats all i put in.
