ATTACHTOTAG?????

(CrymSYN) #1

Hiyas, im new to this forum,but have been mapping for a for a ‘lil while’. Ok heres the question i’m makin a script mover, and want the wheels to move with the mover, i’ve seen this done in MP_Rocket, and to accomplish this they use a script command

attachtotag train1 tag_wF
ok obviously it is attaching another mover to the train mover (train1), therefore, and i assume here, where the wheels go on the train1 mover are tagged somehow with a scriptname or targetname or whatever with a value of taq_wF which i also assume to be wheelFront, ok what i need to know, is how you tag the train1 mover and how you name it, so you can script it, what do i do, in-depth info please, as scripting is still somewhat of a mind-boggle

thanks in advance for any help

This has already been covered over at Tram - http://www.tramdesign.net/NonCGI/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=001795

If all you want to do is attach several models to a script mover, with new q3map2 functionality, you can just target your script_mover with the models.

Ahhh but i dont want to attach models to my mover, i wanna attach other script movers to it, ok heres what im making , a ferris wheel, i want to attach the cars to the spokes, and then simply face angles to keep them down, like gravity would do to them, would it work the same way? So what i basically want to do is make my ferris wheel, and ferriwwheel cars out of brushes, make them script movers, tag the ferris wheel somehow, and the use attachtotag to attach the cars to the wheel instead of tryin to get the speed of 8 different cars synced up with the wheel, and also so i can use one button or trigger to start it, is this possible, or does one have to use models, cause im pretty sure in MP_Rocket his train is a brush based script mover and not a model, also his wheels, and such
