Half-Life-like trams in JO

[Takeoffyouhoser]

How complex would it be to make a tram, much like in Half-Life, where at the end of a section, it raises to another level, turns, and starts on a new track.

I thought about putting one in between the Brewery and Imperial Base.

[NITEMARE]

i think that it would have to be a mod. the quake3 engine is so spartanic with maping features like that. what is the difference to quake 1 then? heh...

the func_train is the only thing u can use. and that sux, it can't even rotate the vesel.

[Emon]

In SP, not hard at all. The Doomgiver had a basic tram.

[NITEMARE]

hmm can't remember realy but wasn't it rather a from A to B simple train?

[Takeoffyouhoser]

So Emon, All i'd need to do is script the event where the tram rotates, rises and starts again, right?

[NITEMARE]

i checked the level in sp and it's just a lame forward backward train that could have been made in quake 1 already, heh...

those scripts won't run in mp, am i right? so mp always sticks to static maps without much variation.

[Takeoffyouhoser]

yeah, i know it is jsut a point A to b train. However, Star destroyers are dagger-like in shape. this is why its jsut an A to b train.

All i want to do to is at the end of point b, the tram rises and rotates to another direction ( point C)

I do know its probably scriptable, but since i don't know about scripting yet, i need to know if will work

[legameboy]

it was also done in artus mine

[Takeoffyouhoser]

hah!

yeah it was... i even forgot about that level!!

Now, too bad i can't open the level up

[NITEMARE]

yeah i forgot too! but i checked it out and it does rotate. would be cool if we could do that in mp too.

[Jedi Howell]

Yeah, someone should make a mod that allows SP scripts in MP...

 

*thinks about the number of lifetimes it would take to integrate ICARUS into MP*

 

or not...
