Title: Moving In Vehicles
Post by: Lean Bear on 20 Dec 2004, 19:09:49

Just need a little conformation here.

I'd like to confirm that due to restrictions of the OFP game engine, it is impossible to walk around in a moving vehicle. Is this true?

it is posible but requires much scripting, triggerhappy was working on allowed you to walk around in a moving C-130 but im not sure if he is still workiong on that.

Even with scripting, I don't think it would be possible to do.

OK, I ask because I was working on something like that, but on a moving ship.

Problem was, everytime the ship moved, all the units standing on it didn't move with the ship and fell into the water.

Yes this is a standard feature in OFP, these units haven't paid their fare, so they get dumped overboard.

But if its a feature, then surely it can be overwriten like everything else :P

Hmm, perhaps there is a way to make the units pay their fare? ;D

There is a way......you make them into cargo proxies in the model itself.  The fare is automatically paid that way.

But then they can't move around, right?

Isn't the cargo proxy the one which makes the soldiers sit down in the back of trucks etc.?

If so, then although they can be animated, you can't move them :(

What about getting the units velocity, and adding the ships speed to that?
Dunno if that would stop the person being able to move tho..  :-\
