Making a Player Fly

Download Code File

Version 1.2.2

Made a tiny adjustment to make the server use less work, no need to re-download if you have 1.2

Version 1.2.1

Corrected a line of code that made a multiplayer glitch.

Version 1.1.1

-Fixed a typo.
-Made the .sit file a .zip.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was originally made by Matt Fairfax, so most credits go to him. Also creds go to:

Tom Spillman: Partly fixed a major bug that made the player vibrate when flying.
Master Treb: Rewrote the code so you may toggle flight on and off.
Andy Hawkins: Cleared up some code for Tom Spilman's non-shaking flight.
Tyler Slabinski: Put some script that prevented the shaking glitch.

In the downloaded file, you will find:

engine/game:
player.cc
player.h
server
flying.cs

INSTRUCTIONS:

In engine/game, find your player.cc and player.h files, and replace them with the newer ones in the .sit file. Use your favorite compile method to rebuild TGE. Then put your flying.cs file in your games server folder. Open up server/game.cs and find:

// Load up all datablocks, objects etc.
   exec("./camera.cs");
   exec("./editor.cs");
   exec("./player.cs");
   exec("./logoitem.cs");
   exec("./commands.cs");

Put this right under it:

exec("./flying.cs");

Now here comes the fork in the road, if your game is built off starter.fps, put this code at the bottom of your client/config.cs file:

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "t", "commandToServer(\'toggleFlying\');", "");

Although, if your game is built off of tutorial.base, go to your client/default.bind.cs file and put this at the bottom:

GlobalActionMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "t", "commandToServer(\'toggleFlying\');", "");

Now once you load up your game, press t and you can fly around!

NOTE: Toggling flying on and off rapidly will confuse the engine and will shake your player.
