Key Controls and Vehicles

#1 Okay, some progress made on this front.

I went into default.bind.cs in the client scripts, and found the motherlode for control functions. I defined a new ActionMap, called vehicleMap, that overrode A and D to change the $mvYaw value, and then went into the player.cs file and pushed it onto the stack inside the player's onMount, and popped it off when the player dismounted.

The problem seems to be fixed, I just encountered a couple of issues.

The vehicle code seems to be flawed, even without my messing around. The wheels always recenter (I can only assume the following cycle), so using the changed keys causes a slight jump to the side that then recenters. The same applies to the mouse, so I know I haven't caused this problem.

What I did notice, though, that seems a bit odd, is that when I told the vehicleMap to override the mouse with a null function, I was no longer able to use TAB to switch to third person. That seemed strange to me, and when I commented out the function, it worked fine again.

Any thoughts? Let's see where this takes us.

#2 A quick update--the TAB issue was caused because I had a semicolon after the function definition. I don't know why that would make a difference, but it seems it does.

#3 Would you like to post the code here. just as a reference. thanks in advance

#4 Vehicle Steering Upgrade: (C++ mod but very easy to add, not 100% sure if its TGEA compatible, either way check it out)

I recommend using Matt Zuhlke's "Jitter Fix" as well as that is what I have used.

if your using a seperate vehicleMap then:(instead of moveLeft and moveRight)
vehicleMap.bind( keyboard, "a", turnLeft );
vehicleMap.bind( keyboard, "d", turnRight );

#5 Thanks csmp. that resource works well.
When i drive past a street, which has around 20 buildings, the car movement is smooth but there is considerable amount of jerk in rendering the building. any insight into that as to why its happening ?
