Stock TGE’s player movement feels a little stiff – it’s very responsive, but some people may want it to feel just a bit less rigid. This simple change adds a little ‘inertia’ when Players look around, and as a bonus lets you specify a turning speed for AIPlayers.

At the moment, TGE has a hardcoded list of animations that the Player class can use. This means a simple change like adding a new movement animation becomes a case of recompiling the engine. It also means all Players have to use the same animations. This resource breaks those animation definitions into script for easier control over animations used by different Players. WARNING: Long and difficult resource! EDIT: Now contains code files!

This resource adds the ability for Players to rotate freely using quaternions. The behaviour of the default player is not changed; you must extend Player to use the free rotation capability for your specific needs. Note: This resource breaks the AIPlayer thinking logic. I'm working on an updated getAIMove function to take my changes into account.

The problem with most FPSs, to me, is that their movement is extremely inorganic and rigid. Get Kork moving around the level like an agile cat-burgler.

I spent a little while over the last holiday messing around with the starter.racing demo. Here are my findings...

Attaching different equipment to weapons (like scopes or bayonets) is a pain - until now. This resource allows you to mount an image to another already mounted image.

I've gone through the rigmarole of searching the forums, and basically there is no easy way to directly mount particles to an object. Well, until now.

These changes to GuiCrossHairHud enable the crosshair to remember objects it aims at, and fire off script callbacks when an object is deselected, a new object is selected, etc.

This console method returns the position of an object within a SimSet.

This simple class combines the simplicity of TSStatic and the datablock and tick processing abilities of ShapeBase.
