Set The Velocity Of An Object, and set Distances

[RunAwayScientist]

     Heh heh, here I go again...

         We've all seen it, Police Pursuits. The Police effectivly attempt to ram the car off the road. What if this were in OFP? What if a car rammed into the other one, causing damage to both vehicles, and in OFP, they'd both stop and the drivers jump out. Then the office simply walks up to him, and the suspect is arrested...Yay!

        My question is, how do I set the velocity of an object, or detect the velocity of an object in, of course, Kilometers per Hour. And, my other queestion, is how do I set the distance between two objects (Preferably Cars).

       Basically, what I'd like to do, is to make a car speed just enough to close the gap between him and a nice Red Speeding car. Say the Speeding car is going 80, and the car that's trying to close to gap, whatever speed neccesary to ram the Red Car.

        Ehhh, any ideas on the matter, or do I ask too many hard questions? Err...Do I?

It's possible..   just need a couple of triggers.. or a script ....

the command you're gonna be looking for is :

this setvelocity  [x,y,z]


perhaps you could make a repeatable trigger.. with this as it's condition:

car1 distance car2 > 10

and something like this as the activation...

car2 setvelocity [x,y,z]  

you'd have to fool around with the numbers , but this would result in car2 getting a small boost of speed whenever the gap between car1 and car2 exceeded 10 meters....

if using scripting.. you could also incorporate a loop where the chase car was getting the position of the lead car every few seconds.. and then the driver was told to move to that exact position.....  instead of having to use waypoints at all....

u can just use da speed command

speed carname - wil give u da speed of da car in KMH

or if u want da velocity use

velocity carname - give u array wid da velocity in X axis Y axis and Z axis

       Ehhh, and distance?

    I don't think there is a setvelocity command, a Speed command, or a Velocity command. I've not tried your suggestions, but if there were such commands, this post wouldn't be here...heh heh, kinda of makes ya think eh?

    -RunAwayscientist

[RunAwayScientist]

     Wait, There is a Speed command. I just found it...The command I can't find is SetSpeed and SetVelocity...You sure about that?

       I'll try out the suggestions, not sure if it'll work or not....

   Thanks for your help, and suggestions...Err..I think...(Eats Cherry Pie)

Works fine for me   what version of OFP are you running ?

make an empty jeep..... name it j  
make yourself a West Soldier...
make a trigger....  activated by West present
activation:  j  setvelocity [1,111,5]

then get in the jeep... and drive into the trigger.. watch what happens

dere is no setspeed command but

hre is a qoute from da command referance

vehicle setVelocity [x, z, y]

Operand types:
vehicle: Object
[x, z, y]: Array
Type of returned value:
Nothing
Description:
Set velocity (speed vector) of vehicle.

and a link setVelocity command

or da velocity command

velocity vehicle

Operand types:
vehicle: Object
Type of returned value:
Array
Description:
Return velocity (speed vector) of vehicle as array [x, z, y].

and a link Velocity command

or da speed command

speed obj

Operand types:
obj: Object
Type of returned value:
Number
Description:
Object speed (in km/h)

Example:
speed player

and a link Speed command

dats bout it i think

muhahahhahhahhaa

nd now u have 2 change us sig line and write somin like

"I kiss LCDs legs 4 teachin me da wrong from da right and 4 takin time and givin me links 2 da command referance - I wil never think da Cartel member is wrong"

and go 2 da Eveon Cartel website and D/L all da addons

and

if u stil have time go 2 da beta testing forums and test all da misions i made ;D

muhahahahahhahahahahahahaha

@ OFPEC mods - i woke up in strange mod 2day  

[RunAwayScientist]

"I kiss LCDs legs 4 teachin me da wrong from da right and 4 takin time and givin me links 2 da command referance - I wil never think da Cartel member is wrong"

       Uhhh...A Couple of Grammar mistakes...It should be:

   ""I kiss OFPEC 4 teachin me da wrong from da right and 4 takin time and givin me links 2 da command referance - I wil never think da OFPEC Cartel Team Member is wrong, but that of right."

     There we go....

        Ehh, setVelocity escaped me a couple of times, no wonder I had no idea about that command...Same thing for the "Speed" command...To think I just heard about it, after my Experience? Compared to the time the U.N. takes, I think I'd win...Heh, heh....

    Well, thank you for your help. Maybe I should stick with SetSpeedMode...It sets the basic acceleration for the unit, which builds up to speed over time, rather than having a "setSpeed" Function Command (HInt Hint, run and do yo scriptin' thing now), CodeMasters put in SetSpeedMode...

       Yay for CodeMasters! (Boo...Don't tell them anything, they're watching me...They got me once, but never again man!)

     Once again, thanks for you help...As my Random Insanity Continues do excpect more questions, and I think that a "SetSpeed" Function would really prove...Well...Functional to a mission...

     Uhhh, are you high on Cartel or something?

      Man, I love your MOD though. Mind if I ask a question? Is your MOD based on GTA3, and with all the gangs and Gang Type Activity going on there? It seems like it, and a very, very, interesting mod indeed.

          -RunAwayScientist

[LCD]

high is my ever status   :wow: :toocool:

and da mod is not based on GTA3 we are da Everon Cartel not GTA3 based MOD   ;D

but well have looooots of gang activity around    ;D
