heheh would be good for creating a chase scene.

I'll be watching this post to see what the Scriptmeisters come up with ;D

The script would have to spin the car, definately possible, you could even have an action that made it do that...

I am no scripter, bu the 21VB glider is pun with a script, let me have a look at it..

OK thats an anim, but there is a command for altering drection...

It would be possible...these would be the needed info i believe to make it work but i am not a scripter so i wouldnt know where or how to start putting this together.

1. when it detected a speed in the -'s (backwards really) it would activate.
2. when it detected a new angle more then a 5 degree turn it would start using setdir to make the new direction.
3. Once it had made it the whole 180 degrees...it would need to stop turning...so maybe have a variable the start dir and just add 180 to end it.
4. use a little setvelocity to give it that jolt look like in the movies so it doesnt have to stop and accelerate.


any more ideas?
