They're out there, but nobody dares releasing them.

I've experimented with vehicles and stuff before and I came up with this, I never finished it though:


# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# SHIPFLIGHT.COG
#
# __Ace_1__

symbols

message activated

thing ship


int player=0 local
int active=0 local
vector playerthrust local

message startup
message timer

end

# ================================================== ======================================

code

startup:

Return;

# .................................................. ......................................

activated:

player = GetSourceRef();
if(active == 0)
{
active = 1;
SetTimerEx(0.1, 1, 0, 0);
SetCameraFocus(0, ship);
Print("activated");

}

Return;

# .................................................. ......................................

timer:


if(GetSenderID() == 1)
{
SetTimerEx(0.1, 1, 0, 0);
playerthrust = GetThingThrust( player );
SetThingVel(ship, VectorScale(GetThingLVec(ship), 10));
if(VectorY(playerthrust) > 0)
{
xrotation = -100;
}
else if(VectorY(playerthrust) < 0)
{
xrotation = 100;
}
else
{
xrotation = 0;
}

if(VectorX(playerthrust) > 0)
{
zrotation = 100;
}
else if(VectorX(playerthrust) < 0)
{
zrotation = -100;
}
else
{
zrotation = 0;
}

SetThingRotVel(ship, VectorSet(xrotation, 0, zrotation));

}

Return;

# .................................................. ......................................

end

I've been told (never really tried it myself actually, as vehicles in JK have surprisingly never attracted my full attention for long enough http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif) that the math functions just aren't there for truly realistic vehicles in JK; I think it could have been either HellCat, HellRaiser or descent_pilot that mentioned it, although I dare say there have been others that have tried... http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

Actually Ace, SaberMaster did a dang fine job in his "Space Beta" and went on to perfect it further in his "XvT" demo - the main forum thread, as well as links to a truly breath-taking "demo" (always modest was our SaberMaster http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif) can be found here: http://forums.massassi.net/html/Forum2/HTML/011099.html

I know I'm going marginally off-topic here (being a ship-based mod rather than wheeled-vehicles) but it's certainly an excellent piece of coding and one that I had the great pleasure of testing and providing feedback for, as did just about everyone who downloaded this project http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif - geez, I do miss SaberMaster and his invaluable counsel http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif

Apologies for the random utterings http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif
