Some questions...

I was just curious about 2 things that I thought but I'm not sure if it can be done in Zdoom.

First can you make drivable cars? Sort of like a polyobject car that you can get into and drive around?
And second can you make a telekinesis power? Not like Heretic/Hexen Disc of Repulsion. But like you pick up stuff (anything - like props) and then you can throw it at enemies to cause damage - or throw enemies at enemies. Like HL2 Gravity gun.

1. Complicated in design, but it could be done. (Not with poly objects, as they are only walls, and walls are infinitely tall).
2. A little too complicated to do. What you must know is that Doom doesn't have a physics engine, it has something that looks like one. Someone made something that you could call a gravity gun, but it required very specific situations.

I think that the only practical way to make an actual car would be a HUD-type thing with a steering wheel, rearview mirror, etc. You'd have to have a lot of DECORATE code done, though, as well as a set of sprites for the outside of the vehicle.

Wasn't this already done, anyway?

Didn't you drive to run over ghosts in the Ghostbuster's TC?

That was just a sprite that looked like the inside of a car and it used chainsaw functions in DeHackEd. Not really comparable.

Thanks everyone for help. Also is there a way to make moving sectors

(Not with poly objects, as they are only walls, and walls are infinitely tall)

but sort of like moving boxes that you can climb on and move with them? (a system like that could be used for a drivable car)

[ZDG]

A model perhaps?

[lukas]

No I meant sort of moving sector...

[Demolisher]

No, not really.

Translating the mouse pointer into a 2D invisible cursor, as well as abusing SetActorPosition seems to be the closest thing to replicating it that I can think of.

I seem to remember someone posting a video of a, what seemed to be, fully working gravity gun. Lemme see if I can go find it.

Edit: Ah, here's the post. It's by KeksDose: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f= ... 10#p509381

Okay

O... M... G...
That is so cool. Did he release it somewhere - If yes please post link, I just have to try that out. Nevermind I sent him a PM, he didn't release it

Oh, honestly I never played it although I've seen it. I may have to dig around my hdd now to see if it I have it anywhere.

Shadow warrior (A kind of duke nukem game) had sector-based drivable vehicles, but that may or may not apply to Zdoom.

Yea I played Shadow Warrior, it's a build engine game and build has moving sectors, but it doesn't apply to Zdoom (cause that's the doom engine)
