making a car

[usaar33]

Returning to net code.

I still do not see at all what is so hard.

I plan to simply base a vehicleServermove() (replicated servermove) on normal servermove(). Only it will replicate the client's current force in each engine, rather than acceleration. In fact viewrotation won't even matter (well..it will if I add weapons ;p). But even with weapons... very simple code. I can even use the normal clientupdateposition code

Well, is your vehicle a PlayerPawn? If it is, then it shouldn't be too hard. It would be a bit difficult if your vehicle was another class that was fed inputs from the PlayerPawn. As for the wall collisions and the player pawn, it IS called when the player collides with walls at certain angles, but at other angles it's not called... It's... weird...

Ah, I never got any hitwalls. Didn't matter though (just checked if location+velocity*deltatime was the same as the location after movesmooth... then the plane would explode ;p)

No, my car is a decoration that checks its owner's inputs (in VehicleTick(), which is called by ppawn.playertick())

Hmm... even net code for other clients should be simple

Well, that's how it seems to a lot of people... And then they actually try to do it. Ask Phfoenix (or however you spell it)... The guy that's the lead coder for NeoCairo. I told him too, and he thought it was easy... then he spent 2 months getting it to work.
Anyway, that velocity checking is great if you're just doing the I_HIT_A_WALL=EXPLODE thing, but for more advanced forms of collision, you'll probably need some way to tell what the normal of the wall you're hitting. I suppose one of those extend trace things would help here.

You can't spell Pfhoenix? heh. I chat with him almost everyday.
Ya, but replication is one of my strengths. I know, mostly, what I'm doing. My physics model is also so complex that it only uses one factor, the force of each engine... the biggest problems always lie with "teh EVIL NATIEVE CODE!!!!!!!!" however. I had so many problems with Valhalla Avatar :/

I wonder why almost all coders live in America... They're always sleeping when I'm around

 

[Blödsinn machen]

hey hey, that's not all so true. plenty of folks here are from someplace else...

 

[2COOL4-U]

Most of 'em are. I can see you're German. Shag is french. Aspie is australian. Botje is from Belgium

hey, no kidding. it's not as if I enjoy being Swiss...
but thank god that Switzerland is not Germany, that would spell the end of the world. it sucks here anyway...

Yeah it was because of your nickname .

 

[Eater1]

Well usaar, all I can say is good luck. When you get the net code for your car working, tell me how long it took .

But I am still a 1337 American

As for net code, sure whenever I get around to coding it. I take one thing at a time and ONP netcode is the least of my worries.

I wish I lived in the same timezone as you guys
