is it possible to make a playerclass gradualy go faster as you hold forward?

[mr fiat]

as the title says, is it possible to make a playerclass gradualy go faster as you hold forward?

i dug around in the zdoom wiki asked others but i havnt found a suitable soloution yet.

Did you try messing with A_ScaleVelocity in their see state?

[mr fiat]

Did you try messing with A_ScaleVelocity in their see state?

hmmm il try that. altho i recall having used a similar action that caused some odd effects. (i could be wrong tho)

*edit*yes i tried this before and then it didnt work properly as i wanted it. and it still doesnt seem to what i expected it to do, but then i noticed that i only seemed to pick up speed when i was midair (not touching the ground) so i asume this function is mainly intended for projectiles. (or flying enemys?)

[CloudFlash]

A_ChangeVelocity?

[Ænima]

Use ACS. Specifically, GetPlayerInput.

[Lollipop]

A_ChangeVelocity should be able to do it, if you use it as you are supposed to

Inventory items solves all your shit:
Note though that you are supposed to exppiriment with this code to make it fit your liking, and that it is not some plugin that you can just throw in your project.
I am aware of what the CarSpeed actors inhert from, and what the wiki says, you should look at this page if you want to know more about the PowerSpeed actor.

See:
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SpeedItem, 10, "Move10")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 9, "Move9")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 8, "Move8")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 7, "Move7")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 6, "Move6")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 5, "Move5")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 4, "Move4")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 3, "Move3")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 2, "Move2")
A 0 A_JumpIfInventory(SppedItem, 1, "Move1")

If you got any questions regarding my code or if it dun work, just let me know.

Use ACS. Specifically, GetPlayerInput.

yea i already asumed it was going to involve acs, however im a total acs nab so i need help with that. :s

[Cruduxy]

A_Recoil(Negativevaluehere) and custominventory to control the recoil amount.. there you go!

[mr fiat]

A_Recoil(Negativevaluehere) and custominventory to control the recoil amount.. there you go!

hmmm il try that but i have no clue what i should do with custom inventory.

Try what I wrote, that way you can control it.

[Cruduxy]

Use an inventory (Ammo,inventory,custom whatever one you find most fit) with jump states and you can have the player accelerate faster (more a_recoil) per inventory.. the more you are moving the more you are accelerating.. I persume this is for your cars mod so sidestep isnt a matter since cars DONT MOVE SIDEWAY UNLESS SPECIAL WHEELS

[Lollipop]

Would be nice with a car that could drive sideways though :P

[Klofkac]

What about

Code: Select all

//ACS part
script 666 (int running)
{
if(running) {
  SetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED,GetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED)+0.1)
 if(GetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED)>10.0) SetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED,10.0);
  } else SetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED,0.0)

//DECORATE part
states {
spawn:
  PLAY A 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(666,0)
  PLAY A 1
  goto spawn+1
see:
  PLAY ABCD 2 ACS_ExecuteAlways(666,1)
  loop
}

I am not completely sure with DECORATE part, though...

Well, the drawback is, it won't work properly when one gets shot or shoots (pain, missile, etc)

[Ivan]

Yeah, the decorate part is kinda broken in your example because you don't want to put any action on the spawn state on the very first line, it also doesn't help to make it go to spawn+1 as it will always ignore the command anyway.

Honestly, everyone here has given good suggestions. You can control recoil with items (very much in the way Jitterskull works in GvH, except without control items) or simply use all ACS, hell you can use both! It's really not too hard to use ACS if you have any examples to look at, and there are plenty of those around.

[CloudFlash]

Why would cars be in pain state anyway? You aren't doing Mario Kart in Doom engine, are you? ._.

[Klofkac]

Ok, I got a much better code this time and it does not rely on DECORATE, just pure ACS.

Code: Select all

script 1337 ENTER
{
	int speedMul = 0.0;
	while(GetActorProperty(0,APROP_Health)) //It MUST stop when player dies
	{
		if(!GetActorVelX(0)&&!GetActorVelY(0)&&!GetActorVelZ(0)) SpeedMul=0.1; //Le player crashed or stopped, reset acceleration!
		else if(GetPlayerInput(-1,INPUT_FORWARDMOVE)) // GAMEPAD COMPAT! GTFO BUTTONS!
		{
			SpeedMul+=0.1;
			if(SpeedMul>20.0) SpeedMul=20.0; //You don't want that car go infinitely fast, don't you?
		} else {
			SpeedMul-=0.5;
			if(SpeedMul<0.1) SpeedMul=0.1; //Negative speed multiplier? NOPE!
		}
		SetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED,SpeedMul); //Apply da multiplier!
		Delay(1);
	}
}

script 9001 RESPAWN
{
	ACS_ExecuteAlways(1337,0); //Start dat again.
}

You can tweak the acceleration by changing 0.1 to other number, same with max speed.
Don't take the script numbers seriously, change them
Oh and I wrote it quickly from scratch without even testing...

Or, just apply very low friction

Yes, this is the way I recommended doing it. But for some reason I was ignored and you guys continued to suggest very hacky DECORATE methods ... :argh:

Klofkac's code does need some refining though. I'd post my script for the Mercenaries jeep (which even includes different gears) but I can't find where I put it. D:

I was not agreeing with hacky DECORATE stuff, actually. Looked unnessecarilly complicated.
Looking through topic...

Use ACS. Specifically, GetPlayerInput.

Well, you could write it more detailed back then, like posting an example.

Ofc it needs refining.

when i replied to your first comment i wasnt sure how to reply because you mentioned some acs functions which didnt realy tell me that much because as i said im a tottal acs nab (aka i cant do anything aside from some print messages with allot of reference :S)

also klof's code works like it should now, after he fine adjusted it.

[Scott_Minikhiem]

I have a script that changes the players speed to simulate him being tired... It works but it crashes could it be because the script(s) are still running on the dead player? Specifically it crashes on respawn
