Here it is! This is an updated script for the Vertex Space Flight tutorial by Nicholas Chionilos for A4 to run on A6. You still need to download the
original tutorial if you want to know what is going on.
I've fair butchered it, and I've also added a camera that uses it.
Hopefully Orange will aprove of the 3rd person chase camera. The camera is mounted inside a box, for collsion, and jets toward a target position around the player entity. You can adjust the target location with:
w/e :Y co-ordinates
s/d :Z co-ordinates
x/c :x co-ordinates
r :mirror the current position
The player space ship is controlled with either the joystick and buttons 6 and 7, or cursor keys and space bar. Try and dodge the "asteroids" in the demo level.
The camera still has a small issue to deal with jittering when close. If anyone knows how to fix it, let me know.
Also, there is a problem with this vertex space script (from the original, I think, but it could be my hacking):
Sometimes it doesn't thrust exactly in the direction it is pointing.
The particle effect was generated by Easy Particles 3.1, the model was a feebie from
3DRT, and the rest was rudly thrown together by myself.
Have fun.
Maybe this will be the one.
