check last post
sorry meant to post this in the scripting, could a mod possibly move it?
no help? :(
well if you cant get driver to work,this attribute works,
just make 2 attributes in ffedit "pilot" and "jet"
copy and paste the script into the ffx file
create a character called ff_cruiser and give it the jet attribute
Dude, you posted your original post yesterday. Chill. Be patient. Give someone a chance to actually respond.
Yeah TR, the guys that are really great at scripting don't get on but a couple times a day, so they probably just haven't seen this yet. :)
sorry :oops:
Sometimes it even takes several days.
Yep, ha, I often wait for a couple days for answers to EZScript questions, because these fellows are busy. ^_^
Couldn't you do something akin to the Matrix mod, where moving objects could be controlled by scripting? I'd take a look at that if I were you.
The basic problem is that Driver/Vehicle is currently very much broken, so any adaptation is an exercise in frustration at this point. Sorry. :(
actually my script works, I am able to summon my jet and get in, I just want to adjust the position and movement of my spawned jet
driver works too, there is a line of code that looks like this :
def initdriver(char,update=0):
#find their vehicle
template=getVehicle(char)
name=getFormName()
FFX_Spawn(name,template,char)
OnEnterVehicle(name,char)
Mission_CustomAction('CUSTOM_ENTERVEHICLE',char,name,'OnEnterVehicle',5,0)
Mission_CustomAction('CUSTOM_EXITVEHICLE',name,name,'OnExitVehicle',5,0)
Object_SetVar(name,'driver',char)
it should look like this:
def initdriver(char,update=0):
#find their vehicle
template=getVehicle(char)
name=getFormName()
FFX_Spawn(name,template,char)
Mission_CustomAction('CUSTOM_ENTERVEHICLE',char,name,'OnEnterVehicle',5,0)
Mission_CustomAction('CUSTOM_EXITVEHICLE',name,name,'OnExitVehicle',5,0)
Object_SetVar(name,'driver',char)
Hmm....then that may actually be the key to getting the FFX attribute to work, which would be pretty awesome.
Oh yes! Well done Thor.
The problem you're having I'm sure can be solved but the problem you have solved is the big one :)
couldnt you simply add some code to find the summoner's/pilot's location and then "Object_SpawnAt" to spawn it at the pilot's direct location and finally use a hover code? Just an idea.
right now I'm working on a rider and bike/horse attribute if I get it work I'll post the script here
I'm very interested in these advances, maybe there is hope for the vehicles in DCU after all?
well i got the biker rider to half way work, I am able to get my rider to spawn with the bike beside it, then use a custom command to hop on but I cant my rider to hop off when I my custom exitbite command

any help would be truly helpful
bump
I surprised no one even tested the working driver code
Sorry man, I've been pretty busy the last week (not like I'd be any help to begin with, but still).
It might actually help if you posted some log files (after you tried the attribute of course) so coders and such can actually get an idea about what kind of help to offer.
Well, at least this explains why I was never able to get Tony Stark with a Driver attribute into his armor that had the vehicle attribute.

I finally did. (Little time and even less energy available for coding recently.) Your workaround works indeed very well, kudos! This fix changes the behaviour Dr Mike had in mind, i.e., only the vehicle appears at the beginning, but it does work (and personally, I might even prefer it working the way you fixed it).
Here's a slightly updated version, which prevents the car from running on its own at the beginning. (Also, the vehicle shouldn't appear on the same exact spot as the hero.)
def initdriver(char,update=0):
#find their vehicle
template=getVehicle(char)
name=getFormName()
pos=Get_ObjectPos(char)
pos=(pos[0]+30, pos[1]+30, pos[2])
cshelper.spawn(name, template, pos)
alignWith(name, char)
Mission_CustomAction('CUSTOM_ENTERVEHICLE',char,name,'OnEnterVehicle',5,0)
Mission_CustomAction('CUSTOM_EXITVEHICLE',name,name,'OnExitVehicle',5,0)
Object_SetVar(name,'driver',char)
AIDisable(name)def OnExitVehicle(dummy,char):
#figure out who our driver is...
driver=Object_GetVar(char,'driver')
pos=Get_ObjectPos(char)
pos=(pos[0]+20, pos[1]+20, pos[2])
FFX_Teleport(driver,pos)
alignWith(driver,char)
Object_SetPrimaryState(driver,PCSTATE_EXILE,0,REMOVE_STATE)
Object_SetSecondaryState(driver,SCSTATE_INVISIBLE,0,REMOVE_STATE)

Note: I just made a quick test with your pilot code, but probably due to the quick hack I used, I had a few major errors. Since it's very late, I'll call it quit for now. So the only immediate "help" I can provide is asking very basic questions:
Do the attributes create traceback errors in script.log?
Did you try adding print commands (e.g. print "OnEnterBike() step 1") at various points in your code so you could hopefully pinpoint the exact line where things stop working?
P.S.: Maybe a this should be moved to the script forum?

Good point. Moved.

FF.log and script.log are two text files that are located in the FFVTTR main folder.
Check. See the >stickied topic< (http://freedomreborn.net/archive/index.php?topic=41006.msg572262#msg572262) at the top of the Technical Issues forum for details on this.
Thor, don't hold your breath (RL getting in the way), but I'm trying to add options to the existing Driver/Vehicle so it might do something like what you want. bump the thread or PM me if I don't get back to you soon enough for your mod work.
thank you for the effort :thumbup:
well I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed
just a bump to see if you had the chance to make any progress
Didn't have the time to complete it; RL got in the way, sorry... I also got a bit ambitious. :P
I'll try to see if I can make progress in the next few days
just a bump
don't wanna be a nag
I'm very interested in this and I'd help you if I could... but I know nothing about python. Eventhough I'll try the script to see what happens.
Sorry for taking this long. I was stalled by some frustrating bugs. I should have a bit of time this weekend, so I'll get back to work. If the extras features are still buggy, I'll just remove them.
Not tested nearly enough, but solved my bug (which were two; same effect, unrelated causes)! Hopefully, it works correctly. :D
This replaces the previous version of Driver/Vehicle, fixes bugs and adds new bugs, err... I mean, customization options. What's new:
Additional FFX_DRIVER_CUSTOM parameter: interface method
FFX_DRIVER_CUSTOM=[
["default","cat jalopy","","","beside"],
["types","UVehicle 1","UVehicle 2","UVehicle 3","AMethod"],
]
"beside": vehicle appears next to driver
"inside": vehicle replaces driver
"away": vehicle is away and will need to be called; if the vehicle can fly, it will come by air
"spawn": vehicle pops out of thin air when called
You'll need to update your ffxcustom2.py file manually to replace the existing default with the new version; if you already have entered customizations, merge them and add the new interface method. Ex:
FFX_DRIVER_CUSTOM=[
["default","cat jalopy","","","beside"],
["batman","batwing","","","away"],
["types","UVehicle 1","UVehicle 2","UVehicle 3","AMethod"],
]
New FFX_VEHICLE_CUSTOM:
Cargo mass determines the max number of passengers to allow in addition to the driver
FFX_VEHICLE_CUSTOM=[
["default", "500"],
["types", "ACargo (lbs)"],
]
You'll need to update your ffxcustom2.py file manually to add the above code.
In strings.txt, you'll need to add:
CUSTOM_SUMMONVEHICLE_01, call vehicle
CUSTOM_SUMMONVEHICLE_DESC_01, bring your vehicle near you
CUSTOM_UNSUMMONVEHICLE_01, send away
CUSTOM_UNSUMMONVEHICLE_DESC_01, send back your vehicle from where it came
CUSTOM_PASSENGERINVEHICLE_01, enter vehicle
CUSTOM_PASSENGERINVEHICLE_DESC_01, hitch a ride
In ffx.py, under Driver/Vehicle (the working version just above Spellcaster), replace the existing code by the following:

EDIT: removed the FFX_DRIVER/VEHICLE_CUSTOM entries in ffx.py

Ohh.....so freakin' awesome! I really wish I had the time to put this through its paces. I'll get to it as soon as I'm able though, and Batman will finally ride in style!
okay it works but only if I do the customization in the ffx file and not the ffxcustom2

Oops. I forgot to remove the FFX_DRIVER_CUSTOM and FFX_VEHICLE_CUSTOM entries in ffx.py itself. Since they were read after the ffxcustom2.py file, they overwrote it.
The above ffx.py has been updated.
just wanted to say thanx again
its so cool to see the batwing just fly in
or have some avengers load a quinjet
Thanks for the kind words; you just made my day. :)
Okay, I finally have a chance to put this through its paces, but I have a couple questions. First, do we still set up the vehicles as characters? Second, how do we customize the driver and vehicles? I see some things in Em's explanation there, but where do I put the multiple vehicle entries for someone like Batman?
Yes, you still need the vehicle attribute. Multiple vehicles for Bat would be:
FFX_DRIVER_CUSTOM=[
["default","cat jalopy","","","beside"],
["batman","batwing","batmobile","batwhatever","away"],
["types","UVehicle 1","UVehicle 2","UVehicle 3","AMethod"],
]
FFX_VEHICLE_CUSTOM=[
["default", "500"],
["batmobile", "500"],
["batwing", "300"],
["batwhatever", "2000"],
["types", "ACargo (lbs)"],

This would randomly spawn either the Batmobile, Batwing or Batwhatever. The vehicle would fly/dry to Batman from the side of the map when calls it. The numbers for cargo mean that there would be place in the B-Wing (...) for one big dude plus negligible additional mass (I'm talking to you, Ray Palmer!); two to three passengers could enter the Batmobile; a bunch could enter the "whatever" vehicle.
Thanks Em! That's a big help, I think I get it all now!
