Hi, I'm new on the forum and I havn't been playing meteor 2 for a long time and I need some help with scripting. I just wonder how to do if I want a vehicle drive for me. Like if I want a helecopter to drop me off some where.

Hello. :) If you mean how to drive a vehicle, that's the way: you go near a vehicle and press the 'e' key. If it's something related to scripting, I can't help you. I am not good at it.

@CJmaster

Aah, you mean like when you get in a vehicle, it moves by itself? Im not sure, but i think its something to do with waypoints...

Yes thats what I mean. I've tried everything with the waypoints. Do you know any tutorial?

What you need is a vehicle, waypoints and some script (namely OnEnterVehicle and OnWaypointReached (and some others) if I remember well)
there are some good tutorials on meteormods.com

Replace the text contained in double-colons ( :: ) with desired values.


void OnEnterVehicle_::vehicle's ID::()
{BindObjectToWaypoint( ::vehicle's ID::, ::Waypoint's ID::);}

void OnWayPointReached_::lastwaypoint::()
{
   SC_PlayerGetOutOfVehicle;
   SC_SetObjectLocked( ::vehicle's ID::, 1);
}

My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep. In the darkest corners of your dreams, where your phone stops working and you don't know what to do. I'll be there; telling you that I don't support your device.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

So if I want the vehicle to drive for me I will type OnWayPointReached_::lastwaypoint::(id)

OnEnterVehicle will make the vehicle drive for you and you cannot get out

OnWayPointReached will kick you out of the vehicle and lock it so you can't get in and use it normally.

You have to make an .c or .sc file with a name equal to your map, then put it in the same folder. Then you can put all those things in a function and call that function with a sector trigger.

(If you need an example, you can take a look at the maps and their script files the regular Meteor folder)

I checked the "Return To Base" .C file and there it says like this:
void OnMapStart()
{
// get in Chinook
SC_PlayerGetInVehicle( OBJECT_ID_CHINOOK);

So if I want a police car to drive for me in the beginning I will type:

// get in Police car
SC_PlayerGetInVehicle( OBJECT_ID_POLICECAR); / or something?

Yes, but don't forget to put in the OnMapStart event, which is the event that is called when the map initiates.
