OT: vloktboky going to consider writing your CTF script for use in the scripts.dll? Not the whole BR.Net setup, but the CTF method you use, Dante's doesn't allow the flag to be picked up by players once dropped.
Your script behaves much like Gregs should but as far as I'm aware Gregs still doesn't work in game correctly.

I've been working on a version for the general public.

A couple more questions:
Am I right in assuming that the existing scripts have disabled collisions for the flag in some way, if so how?
I have tried disable_physical_collisions() and disable_all_collisions() and I still cant walk through the flags.
How do the existing scripts track the movement of the player?
I could add a timer to the player object that updates the flag position every tenth of a second, however the existing scripts look like they have a better solution as the flag appears to move more smoothly.
Additionally I don't like this method because of the overhead of running a timer 10 times a second.
Thanks,
Gib
PS Is the source for the existing CTF scripts available anywhere ?

The marker flag has no physics on it I believe. However, I am using Disable_All_Collisions() to ensure they are all turned off.
To make an object follow a player, you just have to attach the object to a bone. A timer is not needed. The flag in my version of CTF is attached to the right hand, or "c R Hand". An example would be:
GameObject *AttachedFlag = Commands->Create_Object_At_Bone(obj,"CtfFlag","c R Hand");
Commands->Attach_To_Object_Bone(AttachedFlag, obj, "c R Hand");
A complete list of the bones you can use:
Back Gun = backgunbone
Back Pouch = bone for bag
Head = c Head
Neck = c Neck
Left Clavicle = c L Clavicle
Left Upper Arm = c L UpperArm
Left Forearm = c L Forearm
Left Hand = c L Hand
Right Clavicle = c R Clavicle
Right Upper Arm = c R UpperArm
Right Forearm = c R Forearm
Right Hand = c R Hand
Spine1 (Upper) = c Spine1
Spine (Lower) = c Spine
Pelvis = c Pelvis
Left Thight = c L Thigh
Left Calf = c L Calf
Left Foot = c L Foot
Right Thight = c R Thigh
Right Calf = c R Calf
Right Foot = c R Foot |
