Little question

[jbeta]

Hi all, i was wondering about... if boats will be on this release (amazing job btw, i'm really impressed) does that mean players will be able to stand in a moving vehicle (which someone else's driving) and not just slide out of it like it happens now?

I'd be great not only for boats, but for cars and trucks too, so you could carry a "sentinel" on your car (even when it will be not so practical if u make drive-by shootings possible)

Thanks for your effort, MTA Team, and good job

i refer to this link

MTA blue

does that mean players will be able to stand in a moving vehicle (which someone else's driving) and not just slide out of it like it happens now?

if MTA blue is going to be having "100 % of VC features" then this shud be possible, making a drive-by from a a packer with a car on it, sounds absolutly AWESOME

I dont think so. Try standing on a car. It will only work after very manny try's. They can however do just like Phom Phen '87 or , whatever its called , and "paste" you on the boat/helicopter with code.

[jbeta]

Yeah, and i wonder if they've removed the auto-y axis aim...would make it kinda difficult... but well wtf only half of what they've said would be amazing

[TempEcho]

Yeah , I hope they also work on the netcode , not everone got 2048/1024 kbit connections , some got to live with 512/265 Thank god I have 2048/1024

the thing with standing on a car doesn't work very well in sp, the game is that way. However what i meant was that it now shud be easier to stay on the packer with a vehicle (which is rather hard atm)

edit: btw im one of those poor plp with 512/128

[TempEcho]

ah , yeah , i would realy love putting a fast car on the packer. The car should also heal when on the packer , or something

i think the ability to stand on a car/plane w/o sliding off would have to be coded: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=4804&start=0

but i think standing on a boat w/o sliding off like in sp will be the same in mta...i hope so

[Scorp]

i think the MTA team is trying to get MTA as similar to sp as possible. But now that plp are asking for passengers to be able to do drive-bys, then why not make glued on car roof mod 2?

[Kent747]

you could do code like that w/ the addon, as far as gluing people to the roof or packer.. though it'd probably take a little math to do it correctly

isnt it just an XYZ job? like , x angle , y angle , z angle

Mr.Xanni

[Kent747]

calculating the x,y,z coords after a rotation takes a little bit of math...

there may be some SCM function to do it though I honestly haven't looked into it...

car on packer... very very hard

eAi looked into it and its pretty promising what he did but its not the easiest job

but yes, its in the scm

[TempEcho]

I usualy get A's and B's for math Anyways , I hope that you can keep the car on the packer even after someone leaves the car , and the car is empety. Oh , and when the car explodes , the packed shouldnt explode

Also , the possibility to put people on the packer would be cool

Mr.Xanni

[Kent747]

hope you liked linear algebra then haha..

study up on your matrix math, theoretically you could do it w/ some trig, but matrix math is faster...

[TempEcho]

oh NOOOO! ITS ALL COMMING BACK! The pictures! The memories! WHAA! j/k Actualy , i think math is boring I dont think its easy , its repeative Anyways , again , good luck on blue , and may the release be soon
