Always fly?

[leileilol]

Supposed if I were to continue with this project


How would the player beable to fly at any given time?

[Bio Hazard]

setplayerproperty(1,1,PROP_FLY);

Yeah, you can script it, but you'd want to bind it to a keystroke. In order to do that seamlessly without the player having to type it in, you'd want to put it into the autoexec.cfg. You can either script it, or you could also bind FLY via the autoexec.cfg as well.

In order to do that seamlessly without the player having to type it in, you'd want to put it into the autoexec.cfg.

Or use KEYCONF. From one of my abandoned projects:

Code: Select all

weaponsection SWOTE

alias Varitech_TIE "+forward;+moveleft;+moveright;puke 1 1;rebind Varitech_Walker"
alias Varitech_Walker "-forward;-moveleft;-moveright;puke 1 2;rebind Varitech_TIE"

defaultbind "t" "Varitech_Walker"
 
addkeysection "SWOTE" SWOTE
addmenukey "Transform TIE/Walker" Varitech_TIE

And the scripts:

Code: Select all

script 1 (int Mode) {
Thing_ChangeTID (0, 255);
if (TIEMode == 0 & Mode == 1)
	{
	print (s:"Varitech startup failure.  Attempt restart.");
	Terminate;
	}

SetPlayerProperty (1, Off, PROP_TotallyFrozen);
if (Mode == 2)
	{
//TIE Walker
TIEMode = 1;
	}
if (Mode == 1)
	{
//TIE Fighter
TIEMode = -1;
	}
}

script 2 ENTER {
print (s:"Transform to launch");
Thing_ChangeTID (0, 255);
SetPlayerProperty (1, On, PROP_TotallyFrozen);
SetHudSize (320, 240, 1);
SetFont ("TIE");
hudmessage (s:"A";0,100,-1,160.0,120.0,0.0);
SetHudSize (0, 0, 0);
SetFont ("Trans5");
hudmessage (s:"A";0,99,-1,0.0,0.0,0.0);
GiveInventory ("Cell", 300);
GiveInventory ("BlueArmor", 1);
TakeInventory ("Armor", 100);
while (1) 
	{
	if (CheckInventory("Cell") < 300 & TIEMode == 1)
		{GiveInventory("Cell", 4);}
		else
		{GiveInventory("Cell", 2);}
        if (CheckInventory("Armor") < 100 & CheckInventory("Cell") > 1)
		{
		TakeInventory("Cell", 2);
                Giveinventory("ArmorBonus", 1);                
		}
        While (CheckInventory ("Armor") > 100)
                {
                TakeInventory ("Armor", 1);
                }
	delay (const:35);
	}
}

script 3 ENTER {
int t;
while (TIEMode == 0){delay (const:35);}
Floor_RaiseToNearest (1, 32);
while (1)
{
//Animate to Walker
SetPlayerProperty (1, Off, PROP_FLY);
SetPlayerProperty (1, Off, PROP_INSTANTWEAPONSWITCH);
SetActorProperty (0, APROP_Speed, 0.75);
GiveInventory ("Pistol", 999);
SetWeapon ("Pistol");
TakeInventory ("BFG9000", 999);
for (t = 0;t < 5;t++)
	{
SetFont (TransAnim[t]);
hudmessage (s:"A";0,99,-1,0.0,0.0,0.0);
delay (const:12);
	}
while (TIEMode == 1){delay (const:16);}

//Animate to Fighter
SetPlayerProperty (1, On, PROP_FLY);
SetPlayerProperty (1, On, PROP_INSTANTWEAPONSWITCH);
SetActorProperty (0, APROP_Speed, 1.5);
GiveInventory ("BFG9000", 999);
SetWeapon ("RocketLauncher");
TakeInventory ("Pistol", 999);
for (t = 4;t >= 0;t--)
	{
SetFont (TransAnim[t]);
hudmessage (s:"A";0,99,-1,0.0,0.0,0.0);
delay (const:12);
	}
if (NoFlyZone == 1){ACS_Execute (4, 0);}
while (TIEMode == -1){delay (const:16);}

}
}

script 4 (void) {
if (TIEMode == -1)
        {
        if (NoFlyZone == 1)
                {DamageThing (255);}
                else
                {DamageThing (15);}
        }
}

script 5 (void) {
if (LineSide() == SIDE_FRONT){NoFlyZone = 1;ACS_Execute(4, 0);}
if (LineSide() == SIDE_BACK){NoFlyZone = 0;}
}

Bit comlicated, but I'm not awake enough to hack it down.

Woah... That looks great, and you abandoned it?

Anyway about the fly thing, it won't be any use if he expects it to work with any level (like a TC)

[TheDarkArchon]

I'm guessing that the scripts and KEYCONF was for Chibi Rebellion.

No. An out-of-reach project entitled Secret weapons of the Empire, an excuse to use my Star Wars models. You'd play a Rodian agent sent to infiltrate (not assault) a R&D facility, and steal a TIE Varitech. Firefox/RotJ's Endor mix if you wish. I quickly realized that it was beyond my mapping ability though, so I dropped it before it got anywhere. The screenshot was from a simple test map I did to do the technical stuff.

@LilWhiteMouse - Damn... this is sad without any doubt, because the stuff you did looks interesting and useful

[Galaxy_Stranger]

Ok.

You owe me one new pair of underwear...

EXTREMELY interesting idea. I had no idea any SW fans thought about transformable mecha. What's the game play like?

I'm gonna sift through all that scripting to see what I can steal.

[leileilol]

Well, my wad was about some garg lost in a time/dimensional rift done by some evil magician then. He suddenly appeared at E1M1/MAP01 and he must survive

Some storyline eh?

It'd be cool to have wing stamina like Gargoyle's Quest II while i'm at it (i.e. only fly for a short while at a time, then you must land to quickly recharge this stamina)
