Mover on a spline - how?


motorsep

Recommended Posts

Not sure where else to write since TheDarkMod forums is the only remaining outpost for Doom 3 modding.

 

I need to make a mover to move along a spline, when triggered. How do I set it up?

 

Can a mover tilt, following spline's curvature ?

 

Is there a way to attach player to that mover and drop player if he presses a key ?

 

Thanks!

Grayman made a some wiki articles explaining how to set up in game cinematics. If you search the wiki for cutscenes you should find it. In there you find an explanation on how to bind a mover to a nurbs curve. Binding the player is a bit more problematic, though, but you can use a camera instead.

grayman's cutscenes tutorial is the best explanation I've seen of setting up splinemovers (see page 2).

 

You could use a script to constantly teleport the player to the splinemover's origin with or without an offset: $player1.setOrigin( $my_splinemover.getOrigin() );

 

Not sure off hand how you could get the player to drop off. But I'm sure there are ways.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
