Cars (Drive-bys)

[Leviathan]

I played the Diaz mission again today, and I caught an Idea!

In the diaz missons you have to work togheter with lance vance.

like in the helicopter and the boat.

so one operates the buisness (shooting) and the other does the flying, like the missons of diaz you have to fly with the helicopter with lance against "the gang". with an open door and, you can shoot. Maybe the mta team is able to rip this function from the missions.

and with te car or boat, is much easier:

car: with a pickup: one drives, the other crouches in the back.

boat: type of boat doesn't matter: one farez and the other is standing in the back (where the couches are).

so the mta team only has to program the helicopter controls

I hope very much this is hopefully will be included in blue

[:cMc:jacoB]

there is an opcode to place a player in turret mode to any car. this does "glue" the player at the specified offset, however in the current core the shooting from turret mode is not synced. if blue core has all weapons synced (including the weapons only shootable from first person perspective), "glueing" a player to the back of a car would not be hard to do at all, that is if scm coding will be available to the creation of addons like they say it will.

[Leviathan]

There is no need to program a glue that the 2nd player can shoot from the car, he just can sit in the back of the car if it is an pick up. But I think it is possible to glue the 1st person view from the helicopter

[:cMc:jacoB]

when i said 'any car', i meant any thing that you can drive. this means helis, boats, anything. for that helicopter mission, you are placed in turret mode at a slight offset to the left. and that specific opcode is used.

if this opcode was to be used to place a player in turret mode on a heli with the current core, there is a big possibility the person will get chopped into oblivian due to lag, and also the shooting would (still) not be synced, however the players position would always remain at a certain offset to wherever that helicopter is, whether a player is driving it or not.

Yes, Kent doesn't understand that the "glue" feature can be accessed through the scm and concequently will be avaliable to addon developers. We may create an easier to use method, but we'll see.

in reply to the start of this message, one thing you forget is that in SP you could shoot people in cars trough the windshield and windows, im sure the all powerful mta team will be able to make u lose health instead of ur head in this scenario.

[darkdreamingdan]

if we don't include glueing code with blue (its likely we wont because its more of an addition than keeping true to the game), then we'll probably release some code so that addon developers can implement this themselves.

Kent

yes but if ur planning it to be part of an scm addon, then how the hell are u going to make boat passengers. on gtat u just slide off, its very gay, i think it defeats the point in boats really(apart from racing). if the glue feature is dun, then ull just glue on as a passenger

[eAi]

"Glue" will be in in some form. As it is the addon can do it manually using scm functions, we'll look into easier ways of using it at somepoint. Its on the to-do list.

woohoo

what else is on the to-do list?

Ha ha, nice try

[Scorp]

yea got to use ur manipulation skills

2 bad it aint working

[Leviathan]

And what about the glueing in the helicopters with an open door, this rocks.

That'd be pretty cool.

But on the topic of drive-bys, can passengers fire out of the windows too? You can have 4 man drive-bys!

EDIT: sorry for thread mining. should've read dates

[eAi]

No, 4 man drivebys almost certainly won't be in the initial release of blue.

isnt it true that you dont slide off of moving boats?

[eAi]

No, you do slide of moving boats.

You also often get killed by them as the game thinks they ran you over, this happened quite a lot back when trying to get them to work properly in the current core.

yeah, like when in sp with the ambulance
