i would like some help on 2 things. One: I would like to know, if it is at all possable, how to make a matrix (like the one in cave runner) into a wall you can't drive past. Two: I am making a Mini-Copper Racing game (it has the matrix problem in it) and my mini-copper won't go stright.



theres the code, thanks in advance

ok what about this kind of thing?



one thing i have noticed about your code is, that if the car is stationary you will be able to spin it, i have fixed that in this code, hopefully anyway, this is untested but im 99% sure this will work as well as making the car go in straight lines.

hope this works plz post if it doesnt... or does

I would need the actual models that Qualed is using. The van etc. This is because he may not have their origin in the right place. The origin is the area which the models rotate around. It can be anywhere, but for a vehicle it should be set in the centre of the model.... I think, or maybe towards the front wheels. between the axles. I was thinking that this may be the entire problem with his code.

but why would that effect it going straight, it might make it turn wierd. but if its going straight then it it wouldnt effect its path.
Maby he meant that the car is turned at a funny angle?

The Mini is not facing the right way. Basicly heres the car (birdseye):

[% %]

it should be:
--
**

**
--

so right now the car is driving sideways

rotate it try this:

Quote: "
yrotate object 1,270
"




the 270 is the angle you want to change objetc 1 from so if the car was facing the cameras you would rotate it 180 degrees etc..

ok, i tried both the yrotate and the code you posted before, Benoj, the latter just gave me a black screen and the yrotate didnt do anything.

no i changed it slightly, open up the game u made. delete all the code, and put this in then launch it, hopefully this should work, it has all the same stuff you loaded in thats y u gotta open it in the old ones place.

or if you want to use the code i gave u just load in the .xfile instead of the box, and underneath do "yrotate object 1,90"
[edit]
here it is now my code ( modified to work like yours)

most likly the "or something". i was in Puerto Rico reccenly, and one of the people i went with said "Wouldn't it be cool to see Mini-Coppers racing these streets?" (we were in Old San Juan). and the idea came into my head for a game. i think we could have a one player mode of a "beat-the-clock" kinda thing, and a 2 player race.
