Viewing Thread: Vehicle movement

09 September 2004 17:43 (UK time) I noticed a few things about the movement of vehicles. I like to play with Mouse Look, but many vehicles won't drive unless they are looking roughly in the direction I'm pressing. So with Mouse Look, I have to point the vehicle in the right direction with the mouse in addition to pressing the directional key. I find that kind of silly. The boat and the Dark Jet I found would always drive in the mouse direction no matter which directional key I pressed, and this seemed like a much better way. Another vehicle with different behaviour was the fork lift, which could be rotated totally independant of the driving direction, so it could drive upwards while looking to the side towards the mouse.

Alex, We're aginst them all. But stay calm: we can mow down 'em all with the strafing forklifts... Not to mention the sidesteping 80 ton heavy main battle tank...

Like say you were in a storage garage with loads of enemy jeeps, tanks, etc. You can get the cars and dump them in like the ocean or something. I can't also wait for the different way to move land machines. If we want to send in the game to gamehippo.com we need to fix the movement in order to win the monthy contest.
