how do move something like the tank in goldrush?

(TIHan) #1

i need help knowing how to make a brush move and make it move like the tank in goldrush… i really need help on this, all i want is a simple brush to move like a tank or train… is there an example .map anywhere that has that? :bored:

i tried reading the spline path thing in the et references but i dont get it, and is there a way to make something move like the tank in goldrush without having to do some many scriptings of it?

You could use path_corners with gotomarker statements, but IMO, the spline system is no more difficult than the old path_corner system, plus the spline system is a million times smoother.

Regardless, moving a script_mover around a map takes a certain amount of scripting, no buts about it. You asked for an example map, and you have one. Goldrush is a perfect example of not one, but two spline systems in application. That together with the documentation is more than enough to get a script_mover working.

Just read over the guide again, look at how everything is connected together in goldrush, and try something simple in your own map.

I’ve got a tank working in my map, so maybe I’ll write a straight-forward tutorial on the subject when I finish my map (if no one else has by then).

i know i have the goldrush.map i can look at the example of the tank in there, but i dont which is which, the map has so much stuff in there i cant make out wuts around the tank wut it does and how it works, thats why i wanted a simple .map of just something that moves like the tank in goldrush… :bored:

Trying to create moveable vehicles is probably the most complex thing in ET you could do. I really cannot stress this enough, try to do all the other stuff first, like health/ammo cabinets, command posts, constructibles, forward spawns, team doors, enables mines, creating terrain … there is plenty of things to get right first.
