I have been away from FPSCR for a good while. I just found out that there is - or maybe is on the verge of release - a jetpack for a flying hud/avator available for purchase soon in the store. So...
Is there now an effect or a script that developers can use for our own hud/avator creations? I promised to release a specific model to the community (totally cost free) in the event that flying in this software was enabled and I would like to keep my promise in style. Sorry for not hunting through pages of forum -

Yep!



function AddPlayerJetPack(e,fuel)

SendMessageI("addplayerjetpack",e,fuel);

end



It's in the Global.lua file. Both mouse buttons for thrust. A lot of stuff in there that's probably new to you! Also, as of yet, the actual jetpack object is only available to referrals, not for purchase from what I've seen. The script works good, though, with or without handles

This is interesting but how would one go about applying this script to an entity or the character so that they can use it to fly? Sorry ahead of time, don't know a lot about scripting.

It's actually been available since at least the last beta! Not much scripting knowledge is required, I just added " AddPlayerJetPack(e,fuel)" to the bag of potato chips with a fuel value of 1000 (I didn't know how long that would last, but thought it was a good start. Turned out it lasted quite some time!) I just pasted that under the health add line or whatever it was, and BAM! Pick up the chips and you have smoke coming out your relative body parts! right and left mouse buttons simultaneously control thrust!

You can get the jetpack by inviting a friend to pledge on FPSCR here http://en.tgcstore.net/?md=invite-friends

Or you can wait until we release the purchasable version into the store.

Once you have the jetpack you can see all the scripts and also how the entity works so you can change to work as your own if you wish.

I am right there with you MK83, I tried creating a separate .lua script naming it jetpack and including the above code into the script file. However when I apply it to an item such as the bag of chips ( replacing the health.lua with my jetpack.lua) my test game will not load.

Here you go. Basic, but works. not as good as the actual Jetpack, but you can fly with it.

Edit - the file did not upload correctly first time due to me forgetting to click upload

Well.... I'm feeling like a moron here. What am I doing wrong? I am supposed to call for the function in the FPE, right? Can anybody show me exactly what the convention is suppose to look like in the FPE and where exactly the changes are supposed to be made for the function to be properly invoked? I see the function in the global.lua, but I have tried many different variations in the FPE and yet I can't get the object to even take on a typical "collectable" state, let alone start the flying process! I tried watching the tutorials but they seem to cover the specific scripts such as "key" and not this multi function all encompassing global script. Sorry to be such a weenie brain!

nope, take the script above http://fpscrforum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=209617&b=2&msg=2496978#m2496978
and place it in the script folder
now open reloaded and place any entity in the editor
right click that entity and change the script field so that it links to the file you just downloaded (fly.lua in this case)
now when you run the game and walk near that entity you will pick up the jetpack and be able to fly

life's one big game

I put that script in the script folder way before I raised my question. When you state "change the script field so that it links to the file" - this is where I have apparently not been able to succeed. Can you give me an example of this "script field"? Are you describing the named "AI" (yes, I realize this means artificial intelligence")? I would so much appreciate a visual example of both this "script field" and also the method and convention which is applied so that the "link" can occur. Sorry I'm being dense about this.

Here is the so-called script field circled in red. It's actually the "Main" field under AI System.

Fantastic! Got it working and thank you. The only problem was I have no idea how this happened - the screen froze and the audio got stuck in a loop and I couldn't even invoke my task manager to break the cycle - yup, that's right, I actually had to shut down my computer to restore access to my desktop. I am still very grateful for this break through, although this sort of flight is miles away from effective application. Nevertheless, we're getting there, eh?
