Player Acceleration and Deceleration

[Team Xlink]

Hello.


I am trying to make an accelerating/decelerating thing for vehicles.


I have this in PlayerPostThink in Client.qc

Code: Select all

   if (self.weapon == IT_TEST) //Team Xlink - The TEST Vehicle
   {   
      if (self.velocity < 200 || self.velocity >= 170)
      {
         self.velocity = self.velocity * 1.1;
         self.testtimer = self.velocity + 1;
         self.nextthink = time + 1;
      }
   }

It sort of works.

You see, when you pickup that weapon ( Get into the vehicle) You automatically accelerate, but you never decelerate or even slow down, and it is always active.

It would probably help if you tell us what you want it to do. Also, is this for the PSP?

The first part is what to want to do the second part is the problem.

Why are you setting nextthink in playerpostthink?

You're also going to need to consider things like sv_maxspeed, cl_forward/back/side speed.

Some of it may need to be done engine side, but you can always check out qrally.

self.testtimer = self.velocity + 1;

is this adding a float to a vector ? looks wrong, but maybe is me
