Greetings, im working on my game Fantasci: Hiddenwar and we are looking at a bunch of minigames to increase content and play value. One of the issues im currently looking at is how do i load up a racing mission when im on a fps setup..
Heres the scenerio i forsee. Player walks up to a station selects a vehicle choice, player is teleported into the racing area. Racing style count down begins and camera is now locked into 3rd person observer mode or driver mode. Racing begins, time is recording and turned into the reward. PLayer is teleported back into the FPS.
I have looked at the reactive mission but its not very clear about how to set up camera angles and other racing specific items that would be loaded if it were being loaded under its own exe.
Now, there are several issues, where do i put the specific mission info for telling my fps items that im now running a racing. i see there is type = racing or type = FPS, but that doesnt load up my camera angle and other items. any suggestions. or has anyone done this before please contact myself at racs333@hotmail.com.
For a brief view of my game, drop by ww.fantascihiddenwar.com and check out the blog link there for our last 6 months of weekly blogs, movies, and pictures.
