  Stopping things rotating.How could I stop a craft rotating through Lua?
I have tried this: Code: function Update(self) self.AngularVel = 0 end It doesn't show any errors but doesn't work for some reason, I bet this is something incredibly simple. EDIT It's an ACRocket by the way. |

Re: Stopping things rotating. Not sure what you're looking for, but you probably want to disable both the MOVE_LEFT and MOVE_RIGHT controller states if you just want to prevent turning.
If you really want to stop rotation, lock the rotation angle as well as velocity. |

If you really want to stop rotation, lock the rotation angle as well as velocity. It is a drop crate class, so I don't need to prevent left and right controls, I need to stop it turning altogether. As in, make it only go straight down and straight up. EDIT How would I lock the rotation angle? |

Re: Stopping things rotating. self.RotAngle = <whatever, probably 0>
Also, if I understand you correctly, you might want to lock X vel to 0(self.Vel.X = 0). |

Re: Stopping things rotating. Thanks so much, It worked to perfection.
Also, very offtopic and you probably won't know, but how would I make it switch control to the craft? |

Re: Stopping things rotating. Thanks, I'll be sure to credit you by the way.
Here is the final script: Code: function Create(self) --Don't really need this since I can just edit the ini but anyway. self.Vel.X = 0 self.Vel.Y = 10 end function Update(self) if UInputMan:KeyHeld(19) then --If "S" is held, move down at 10 velocity. self.Health = 100 --Don't die either. self.Vel.X = 0 --No jiggling for you! self.Vel.Y = 10 --Move end if UInputMan:KeyHeld(23) then --If "W" is held, explode. self:GibThis(); end --Ends "then" and "if" so that rotating can be stopped each frame. self.RotAngle = 0 --Stops rotating. self.Vel.X = 0 end --End mother****er. I took this from a whole lot of different mods I have made in the past and put it all together. It's for this. |

Re: Stopping things rotating. If you want this to be Gamepad friendly you should do it like this instead.
Code: function Create(self) --Don't really need this since I can just edit the ini but anyway. self.Vel.X = 0 self.Vel.Y = 10 end function Update(self) self.cont = self:GetController(); -- get controller if self.cont:IsState(Controller.BODY_CROUCH) then --If down is held, move down at 10 velocity. self.Health = 100 --Don't die either. self.Vel.X = 0 --No jiggling for you! self.Vel.Y = 10 --Move end if self.cont:IsState(Controller.BODY_JUMPSTART) then --If up is held, explode. self:GibThis(); end --Ends "then" and "if" so that rotating can be stopped each frame. self.RotAngle = 0 --Stops rotating. self.Vel.X = 0 end --End mother****er. |
