Some questions

Post by ForceMaster »

Hi, I have some questions, before posted this I used the search function to find an reply, but this theme is very confusing to me.

1) When using the force player into vehicle function, the player must appear first as a soldier, dying, and returning to spawn will be inside the vehicle? after that the player may leave the vehicle or it always should play has vehicle?

2) these function works for AI?

Thanks for your help.

When you force a player into a vehicle, you have to have a player. Thus the player must be spawned. However, its just as if the player walked up to the vehicle and said enter. The player doesn't die, it just goes in the vehicle. One can exit the vehicle normally.

It works for AI.

EDIT:
It means that the player must spawn first and go to the vehicle or that appears directly inside the vehicle?

Thanks again!

You can force spawn a player and put him into a vehicle at the same time if you want to. So, you can do it either way.

Doesn't that nullify the vehicles primary weapons? Or is that just when force spawning a vehicle?

Re: Some questions

Is there any way to prevent and player to leave the vehicle once it enters into it?

Or another way: as it is possible to spawn vehicles as units?

EDIT:

I have an idea for my next map, as I need a lot of capital ships in game, I have reduced their size and have become a flyers vehicles. For reasons of space I can not place them at their original size with respect to units so now I changed the scale and capital ships are the size of a common flyer. Well, if capital ships are the size of a vehicle, the vehicles must be smaller than the same units (soldiers), for that reason I made new flyers with a minimum size, so look smaller than capital ships, for that my units would be immense in front of capital ships and vehicles and need to know if they can be made to spawn vehicles as units and how to do to avoid the presence of soldiers on the map. Thanks.

Funny you should ask about that. Have a look at this topic to find out suggestions/ideas, all of which probably won't work, but anyway :P .

Well, Maybe I can reduce the size of the units and adjust the point of view of the camera for soldiers.This would give a new scale to all elements of the game, as each model is based on the size of an average person and since this is done at the appropriate scale

All this I do to reduce the size of the elements that need and increase the chances of capital ships that fly freely without animations in the zero editor.
