Player Movement

[epsilonion]

Hi,
I was going to make my player climb ladders using trigger boxed and a Boolean condition (ladder), this would turn the gravety off and on, and using some scripting, allowing the character to climb the ladder but I can not find a lua script for teh FPS char in editor.

any help where to find the script please in the microscript there is ony death, pickup and stuff like that but no movement..

thanks in advance..

you could use the jump function rather than gravity this would only work if you can control/change the jump speed height so the script would be press e to climb it would then jump to the height of the ladder.

There is probs a easy way of doing it

Just spoke to StarFire and she reckons you can use the setPosition to move the player like in the teleport.

So, walk into triggerbox and setPosition with a vector3 at its current pos.
Reset the player position every frame to this position.
When key pressed to move up or down, increase the Y value of the setposition to move the character up and down the ladder.
You will need a deactivate at the top of the ladder though aswell.

The reason there is no lua to control the movement of the player is simply because it was all created and controlled in c++ and unlike the SCC or DCC, there is no lua functions to control its movement except setPosition.

It will work though with this i reckon.

Edit: There might be a gravity control though as well.

I do have planned in to remake the FPS player as this version was only a proto and meant to be temporary lol.

There are still a few character scripts to complete then I will move onto the FPS. All this is being worked around any major dev tasks

Wanted to do versions of crouch, prone just like Arma3 has.
Looking down sights of a gun (aim) and more...

I will sort it.. eventually..

Might be easier to write my own player control script.

Yes please feel free to develop your own FPS this can be done via Lua.

The Skyline FPS has crouch + prone planned ( this requires a controller fix )and gun sight could be done now. You could look at the character scripts to get you started with locomotion.
Skylines new version will combine Lua for ease of customization combined with actions and may be some bespoke code.
