"force offensive driving" script

[penguinman]

so where it says MAX_SPEED do i put the fastest  speed i want it to go. and does this also make it so it cant stop?

how are you planing on doing it linear?

[Triggerhappy]

whoa i didn't think of it that way
penguin with the way his works the AI should still be driving but he just speeds them up little by little to the maxspeed
it should work on jeeps as well

one problem is you still have to worry about objects in the way of your jeep...

edit: problem solved
here is a script to execute on the objects that the jeep might hit

Code: [Select]

_jeep = _this select 0
_obj = _this select 1

#loop
?_jeep distance _obj <= 1.5:goto "slam"
?nomorejeeps:exit
~.001
goto "loop"

#slam
_obj setvelocity [0,0,5]
~.1
_obj setvelocity (velocity _jeep)
goto "loop"
[jeep_name, object_name] exec "hit_stuff_with_your_car.sqs"

when the jeep is gone (say you use a trigger to tell) make the variable nomorejeeps true
to exit the script

this is untested, and you might want to mess with the first setvelocity (it might go too high - that was just meant to get it off the ground so the other setvelocity would work better - or not high enough) also maybe the distance form the object

Code: [Select]

?_jeep distance _obj <= 1.5:goto "slam"

MAX_SPEED is a global variable. In my mission, as the boats would enter certain parts of the river, they would hit a trigger which would change this variable. That way I could speed up and slow down the boats depending on how far along their preset path they had gone.

I'm not sure if this would work in your mission or not. The best thing you can do is to just plop it down into your mission and give it a go.

One more thing I should mention is that by changing the bolded number in the line below, you can increase the acceleration (increase the number) or decrease it (decrease the number):

_boat setvelocity [(velocity _boat select 0)*1.1, (velocity _boat select 1)*1.1, (velocity _boat select 2)]

i'm pretty sure it would work cause the ai would still but driving but forced to go faster... maybe a bit messier but thats ok!  ;D

[penguinman]

ok, but how would i change the global variable in triggers

triggers or a script, doesn't matter
max_speed = some #
