Hey! How can I realize the player movement around a platform/planet, they moves (pan/tilt) as well? (A player movement like in 'Populous - The Beginning', you know?) I have already tried:
while(1)
{
ENTITY* eIsland = ptr_for_handle(my.skill1);
my.x = (eIsland.x - cos(eIsland.pan) * cos(eIsland.tilt + 90) * 50);
my.y = (eIsland.y - sin(eIsland.pan) * cos(eIsland.tilt + 90) * 50);
my.z = (eIsland.z + sin(eIsland.tilt + 90) * 50);
var varDistance = c_trace(my.x,vector(my.x,my.y,my.z - 100),IGNORE_ME | USE_POLYGON);
my.skill10 += (key_t - key_g) * time_step;
my.skill11 += (key_f - key_h) * time_step;
my.skill12 = -varDistance;
my.x += my.skill10;
my.y += my.skill11;
my.z += my.skill12;
my.pan -= (key_r - key_z) * 5 * time_step;
wait(1);
}
^^ In this case, the player will move exactly with the platform/planet if they moves but his own pan direction is going to lose. And this:
ENTITY* eIsland = ptr_for_handle(my.skill1);
my.x = (eIsland.x - cos(eIsland.pan) * cos(eIsland.tilt + 90) * 50);
my.y = (eIsland.y - sin(eIsland.pan) * cos(eIsland.tilt + 90) * 50);
my.z = (eIsland.z + sin(eIsland.tilt + 90) * 50);
while(1)
{
var varDistance = c_trace(my.x,vector(my.x,my.y,my.z - 100),IGNORE_ME | USE_POLYGON);
my.skill10 = (key_t - key_g) * time_step;
my.skill11 = (key_f - key_h) * time_step;
my.skill12 = -varDistance;
my.pan -= (key_r - key_z) * 5 * time_step;
c_move(my,vector(my.skill10,my.skill11,my.skill12),nullvector,IGNORE_MODELS);
wait(1);
}
^^ There works the pan direction fine but the player will not moved to the right position of platform/planet. And, let alone of the including of the normal adjustment... So, any ideas?

Right! On this PAGE is exactly what I want to do. And these used mechanics agree with my thoughts. But, how the hell will it work if the planetoids are moving?!

How about: When the player is on the platform, the player stores a pointer to himself in one of the platform's skills.
Then in the platform's action, it displaces the player (using the pointer) to a position far away, performs it's own movement, then brings the player back to his original position plus distance the platform moved that frame. And finally, the platform's action clears the skill, it would be set again by the player's action if he is still standing on it.
Just a concept.
