Useful vehicle mode code

I don't know if anyone is trying to make all-vehicle game modes anymore, but here's an easy way to keep track of vehicles that you force players into:
Code: Select all
nextvehicle = "vspawn" // initialize it this way because first vehicle spawn might have occurred before OnObjectInit is set up; "vspawn" is the name of the vehicle spawn in ZE
OnObjectInit(function(object)
if GetEntityClass(object) == FindEntityClass("your_vehicle_class_name") then
nextvehicle = object
end
end)
Then you can force each player into such a vehicle like so:
Code: Select all
OnCharacterSpawn(function(player)
if nextvehicle then
local tmp = GetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(player))
EnterVehicle(player,nextvehicle)
nextvehicle = nil
end
end)
If you have many players spawning at once, you might need to make a few modifications, but for small scale modes this should work.

Nice! I wish I still had the source files to my Xbox mod. I always wanted to do a vehicle deathmatch like the Clone Wars game had.

Would this be a free-for-all, everyone in tanks kind of mode? I don't know what game you are referring to.

2002 Clone Wars game that Pandemic made before SWBF1. It had a multiplayer mode that I used to play a lot. It'd pit the two teams against each other across of a decent-sized map, with the goal being to destroy the enemy base. You'd capture command posts, which would give you more bots to help out.
It was entirely done with vehicles. The GAT and AAT for the CIS, and IFT and AT-RT for the REP.
Fun random thing. The Rhen Var map was completely broken design wise. The AAT's main cannon had unlimited range, but on Rhen Var, the bases were just straight shots down this canyon. So you could as the CIS, just jump in an AAT and destroy the enemy base from the comfort of your own territory.
There was also a wave mode too, still all vehicles.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who played that game.

Huh. Sounds fun. Maybe I'll work on that next after I finish up my Starship Troopers map. Teancum, out of curiosity, why the Xbox? Can you play custom mods splitscreen on it?

Oh, the hours I poured into beating Clone Wars wave mode with my dad (splitscreen on Gamecube). Dang.
So, yeah, someone should really make a decent Vehicle TDM or Wave mode.
Edit: Mace Windu's voice overs anyone? "Five... four... three... two... one... match begins... NOW!"
