Perhaps you could set the player to invisible (i completely forgot the code for this) and make the player fire a projectile at a certain pulse and set the eweb's direction to the projectile's lookvec. obviously make a new eweb model with a player inside.

Is it possible that you can outline exactly what you want this whole drivable vehicle code to do?

you activate the vehicile and it attaches to you.
makes you invisable so it doesnt look like your walking the vehicle

you want an example. Here is my thread on a flying cog, You can use pieces from it (or the whole thing if you give me credit) if you want. Oh, and DO NOT POST IN MY THREAD UNLESS YOU REALLY MUST!!! I do not want to be called a thread hi-jacker. So this is just an example that LHarm asked for.

http://forums.massassi.net/html/Forum4/HTML/003554.html

[edit] For the template you will want it to be "move=physics airdrag=.5 surfdrag=.5 physflags=0x2" You can change the drags to whatever you want. [/edit]

setthingthrust(vehicle, 0/1/0);

would that work.

and if i attached my self to the vehicle
and stoped the player using StopThing would it turn with my head. And would thrust go in my directoin.

If I read that right, that's how I did it in my cog. Except I had the shuttle turn instead of the player. Oh and my cog is not perfect. It still has many bugs in it.

actually it is a little better then that. The player turns with the vehicle. The motion is controlled by the vehicle and the player is just attached to it. Oh and be warned, the vehicle will not hold passengers. yet... As for the e-web, I haven't gotten that far. As a matter of fact, what you are doing is exactly what I am trying to do, just with a ship instead of a land vehicle.

it is entered (0/1/0) for foward, and (0/-1/0) for backward. Also make sure the template for the ship/vehicle is set to what I posted earlier.

Are you asking about my cog (if so then just left and right) if not then take a look at this part of my cog

Code:

if (GetParam(0) == 5.0)                  // left and right keys.
   {
      if(canpointnow)
      {
         canpointnow = 0;
         vec0 = GetThingLVecPYR(cam);             // get the look pitch/yaw/roll.
         temp = VectorY(vec0) + (GetParam(2) / 100);  // change the direction left or right.
         if(temp > 360) temp = temp - 360;            // Let me turn in circles forever.
         if(temp < 0) temp = temp + 360;                // Let me turn the other way.
         vec0 = VectorSet(VectorX(vec0), temp, VectorZ(vec0));             // Create the final vector.
         SetThingLookPYR(cam, vec0);           // Set the ship to look in the direction.
         SetThingLookPYR(player, vec0);             // Set the player to look in the direction.
         SetThingLookPYR(console0, vec0);             // Set the console to look in the direction.
         canpointnow = 1;
         ReturnEx(0.0);
      }
   }

This is located under the playeraction message. It may help to see the rest of the cog, so just go to the other thread. Just don't post there. I'm letting it die.

May I just ask why you have this line:

SetThingLookPYR(player, vec0);

Hellcat:
SetThingLookPYR(player, vec0); is used to make it so the player does not always look in the same direction, but turns with the ship. Sainly to simulate artifitial gravity.

LHarm:
Well as much as I hate to admit it, I did not completely make the cog. I took an old camera cog and made it into a flying cog. I changed most of it, except some of the camera parts, CANPOINTNOW included. You can try to get rid of it, see what it does.

I was just looking at the cog you posted earlier, and this will fix the crashing error, but it will not fix the lookvectors.

change this line

Code:

   setthingflags(player, 0x10);

to this

Code:

   setthingflags(player, 0x8);

The 0x2 parameter is an unstable parameter and is probably what crashed your game. Just an FYI.

Oh and if you can, download datamaster, it really helps with cogs. It also says some unstable values like the one I pointed out.
