Adding a vehicle into starter.fps

by Andrew · in Torque Game Engine · 10/19/2005 (6:05 am) · 4 replies

How do I go about adding a vehicle to starter.fps? Like perhaps the buggy from the racing demo or something like that? Would I be able to get the speedometer in as well?

@Andrew - Have fun with this.

1. Copy the car.cs from the starter.racing/server/scripts to starter.fps/server/scripts.
2. Copy the buggy folder from starter.racing/server/scripts to starter.fps/server/scripts.
3. Open the game.cs from starter.fps/server/scripts in notepad.
4. Add exec("./car.cs"); to the end of the list of all exec lines in the onServerCreated() function.
5. Start the fps demo and press F11 to enter the world editor.
6. Press F to show the object tree to the right and click on shapes/Vehicles/DefaultCar.

This will just put the buggy in the world. Do a search on the forums on how to have your character mount the buggy.

Hope that helps.

Look at this resource, it will guide you to set up vehicles. I have successfully integrated this resource for all of my vehicles. It works quite nicely.

I think that second one should be:

copy buggy folder from starter.racing/data/shapes/ to starter.fps/data/shapes ?

because it isnt in the other locale..
