I want to make a tank drive forward and backwards on a same info_vehicle path. Is this possible? If yes what need to be different when u want to make a tank drive backwards?

I have never seen a command for following the path backwards. It would be easier to just copy your path and move the first node to the other end.

drive somewhere

then

modifydrive -64 32 256


if you recall, in one of those day of the tiger (m5) maps, there was a tiger driving forwards and backwards

Here...

Code: Select all

mytankthread:

    $tank drive $mypath 128 32 128 128 //go along path
    $tank waittill drive //wait until he reaches the end
    $tank modifydrive -64 16 128 //tanks don't go as fast backwards :(
    $tank waittill drive //waittill he gets back to the beginning of the path
    thread mytankthread
    end

modify drive only works when the vehicle is moveing as soon as it stops you will get that error . Harmless .

you might try this


//********************** drive_control *****************************************

drive_control:
while(isalive self)
{
if(self.backup==1)
self modifydrive -64 32 256
else
self modifydrive 64 32 256
local.velocity = self.velocity
while( local.velocity[0] == 0)
{
local.velocity = self.velocity
waitframe
}
waitframe
}
end



self.velocity[/code]

ya may look at that script and say hey ,,that want work,,,or vice versa,,lol,,,all i know is tank seems to be doing the same thing it was in the beginning be4 i altered it. unless my eyes are deceiving me lol,or maybe i didnt realize what it was doing in the beginning be4 i altered it,,but if ya test that one out let me know if its operating correctly,,,seems to be to me,,,but ya would know better than i :) heres exactly what its doing now thou,,the tank starts its run down the street going forward,,it stops,,shoots at a couple targets,,the base does a 360 then and tank backs down the street lol,,then at end of street it stops,,shoots at targets,,base turns once more and then it comes forward back up the street..at this point the process reapeats itself without the above console error .,,thanx once again for ya reply

Like you said the tank does a 360 that is not backing up that is turning around and going back the way you came . The turret does not move because it is aiming at it's aim target . You can use clearAimTarget before it turns or after it fires to stop that . That error was harmless maybe a bit annoying but harmless .

i apologize bdbodger,,but i mistated when i said the tanks base was doing a 360,,,actually i meant to say it was doing a 180,,,which means yes its actually backing down the street,,,,i cleaned up the script a bit more and also added a option to it so ya can cancel out one line and enable another line to make tank back down street,,,or ya can do vice versa to make tank back up street,,,now i understand the error was harmless,,,but if i got rid of the error and tank is still doing the same exact thing it originally did ,,,that would be a good thing i would think:)) especially for someone like me thats doesnt know alot at this point about scripting,,but still trying to learn more hehe,,,also ive noticed when more than one player is in the map playing the turret doesnt seem to target or follow a single player as it does when only one player is present,,,and as always ,,once agian thanx for ya replies and help,,,i only hope one day i can scrict a 4th as good as ya can :)
