Positioning

[shadow99]

Hello. I'm having a minor problem with the 'setPos' command, if that's what I'm supposed to be dealing with for my problem. You see, I want to instantly move my player to another position (and facing a certain direction, I may add) when and in-game cutscene takes place, much like on the very first level of the Resistance Campaign.

Could someone pelase tell me how this is done? I looked through the tutes and I couldn't really find anything.

Thank you!

Code: [Select]

player SetPos somePosArray
player SetDir someDir
I.e., to have the player be positioned at a marker named "mrk_town"
and facing east, do something like:

Code: [Select]

player SetPos GetMarkerPos "mrk_town"
player SetDir 90

Just what I was looking for! Thanks heaps Mud_Spike.

Odd. My player dies upon issuing this command...

try using getpos with a GL instead of a marker.

loon1 setpos getpos GL1
loon1 setdir 90

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

Still dies, I'm afraid. The mission is at night, and when the cutscene activates it appears the camera focuses on some water somewhere, then blacks in to the cutscene, then quickly blacks out to the death scene. It's underwater somewhere.

Odd. I just tried it, and in a trigger i put:
player setpos getpos gl; player setdir 90
and i ran through the trigger and was sent off to the game logic facing a new direction
It worked fine for me...

perhaps if you were to post your script so we can have a look at it?

Sure thing:

Code: [Select]

setAccTime 1
player1 removeWeapon "nvgoggles"
player1 SetPos GetMarkerPos GL2
player1 SetDir 265
titlecut [" ","BLACK IN",3]
enableradio false
fire1 inflame true
_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]
_cam camsettarget player1
_cam camsetrelpos [0,10,4]
_cam camcommit 0
@camcommitted _cam
playMusic "track3"
player1 playMove "EffectStand"
~3
"GL2" is a game logic where I want the player to be.

Try:

player1 setPos getPos GL2

instead of:

player1 setPos getMarkerPos GL2

the camera focuses on some water somewhere

is your game logic close to water?
it may actually be sumberged enough to kill the person
...maybe...

[shadow99]

Thanks Plank, your method worked. Thanks for the help TriggerHappy, I guess the 'getPos' is completely necessary.

That was what I said before lol.

The reason it didn't work before is because the marker have to be in quotations. Like:

player1 setPos getMarkerPos "GL2"

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

And it has to be a marker...

[dmakatra]

Hehe.
