planes moving backwards script?

[Anthrid]

Hey guys, just wondering if it is possible. I wanna move the planes, such as f-18, and a-10 into hangars and stuff. Is it possible?

Well, i do not think you can really move them backwards, but if you make a loop with "setPos" it is possible to make them appear moving backwards. At least if you are not so near.

Use this setveocity [?,?,?]
You need a bit of code to work out what values it backwards.. I don't know what it is..
But it can be done fairly easily
One other thing.. why!!

Why??? Why you say.

Ever try getting your little plane or jet off a tree or get stuck in the middle of a few buildings? The plane is unusable. Its like a car in the city that doesn't have a reverse...

setpos or setvelocity would work.

Woops.. Read the post a bit better.. Yeah.. I see why

Code: [Select]

_speed = 10
_guy = _this select 0
_dir = (direction _guy)

_speedx = velocity _guy select 0
_speedy = velocity _guy select 1
_speedx = _speedx - _speed
_speedy = _speedy - _speed
_fastz = velocity _guy select 2
_fasty = _speedx*cos _dir
_fastx = _speedy*sin _dir

_guy setvelocity [_fastx, _fasty, 0]


; Stops the player repeatly useing the reverse button
;(By removing it, and adding it again after 5 seconds)
_guy removeaction revacc
~ 5
revacc = [this] addaction ["Reverse","reverse.sqs"]

That code should be a good starting point (I have no idea if it works.. It should, I modified it of my jumping script).. Change the speed bit at the top..

Then use

Code: [Select]

revacc = [this] addaction ["Reverse","reverse.sqs"]


This should be okay...
If not...

Ok, this action only appears once, what do i add to keep repeating it?

EDIT: ok, i figured it out, there was a mitake in code here...One question...can you gradually gain to the maximum reverse speed? Also, is it possible to keep going backwards until YOU yourself decide not to? PLease show :-)

I also noticed that when you are pretty close to the plane, the option pops up :-(   How do i eliminate it?
