make cars appear

[Planck]

well, seeing as marcus isn't typing in the config name of the vehicle, I'd say that's what his problem is....

Yes, but he also said he couldn't get "skoda" to work either.

Unless he mistyped it.

ah, i misread his post

maybe he is getting the syntax wrong

copy this exactly from the post:

tommy = "jeep" createvehicle [(getpos player select 0) + 10,getpos player select 1,0]


if that doesn't work then you won't be able to use createvehicle

[Artak]

Yeah Planck, I just tried it earlier. That's why I was so sure to say the command wasn't working with 1.46  

[marcus3]

dang. i cant get it to work it says. "unknowen operator createvehicle"
so i guess i just need to wait for my copy of res to get here o well. thanks for your time.

Creating things usually does work.  To get round this while you find a solution why not put the car on some offshore island and setPos it to where you want it when you want it to appear

[Sui]

unit = "skoda" createvehicle (getpos player)

Curse of the missing brackets, maybe?

[marcus3]

nope still dont work. thats crap my PC must be goofing up.dang. is there some other way to do this?

[THobson]

You maybe missed my earlier post

yep THobson is right, setPos is the way to go. I remember quite surely, cause I used that trick quite a lot in those days.

[marcus3]

ok i tried the setPos thing and no go. how do you do it the right way i put in the A field.
Car setPos Jason
and some junk comes up on top.

[THobson]

jason is a unit not a position.

car setPos getPos jason
would put the car on top of jason

car setPos [(getPos jason select 0)+5*sin(getDir jason),(getPos jason select 1)-5*cos(getDir jason),0]

would put the car 5 meters to jason's right.

Bye the way it is not junk.  Find the #and that is where the error is.  The text tells you what the error is.

[marcus3]

ok its not junk sorry. that works but then i cant get in the car. that sucks some way to fix that???

[Triggerhappy]

unlock it

when you place it it has the option of having it locked (don't lock it and there you go)

[marcus3]

but all is as i wood like it do be so everbody. your dumb. kidding.
thanks
