How would I make it to where, when someone takes control of a RC Car, their client.eye is the RC Cars and they can move the RC Car?
#1 May 24 2005, 10:33 am
src.client.eye=rc_car
In the move proc your going to check to see if they are driving the car or not. If they are, move the car. If not, move the mob.

Why not just change client.mob to the RC Car?

Look up the North(), South(), East(), West() and all for points in between. By overriding those procedures and using step(), you can remote controle something.

I think mob/Move() would be better, less over-ridingish.

I tryed that before, but it caused problemes when the mob was moved by other procedures. I find it safer to make a new remote controling procedure with a direction parameter and call that procedure from each direction. It adds 1 line to each directions, not much.

Can you show me example?

This works perfectly...
world
    mob=/mob/player
mob
    player
        icon='player.dmi'
    car
        icon='car.dmi'
        verb
            Enter_Car()
                set src in oview(1)
                usr.client.mob=src
                del(usr)
            Exit_Car()
                var/mob/player/p=new(locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z))
                usr.client.mob=p
turf
    icon='map.dmi'

Actually this is much better --
client/North()
    if(src.mob.incar)
        step(src.mob, src.mob.dir)
    else ..()
client/South()
    if(src.mob.incar)
        src.mob.dir = turn(src.mob.dir, 180)
        src.North()
        src.mob.dir = turn(src.mob.dir, 180)
    else ..()
client/East()
    if(src.mob.incar)
        mob.dir = turn(mob.dir, -45)
    else ..()
client/West()
    if(src.mob.incar)
        mob.dir = turn(mob.dir, 45)
    else ..()
client/Northeast()
    if(src.mob.incar)
        step(src.mob, turn(src.mob.dir, -90))
        src.mob.dir = turn(src.mob.dir, 90)
    else ..()
client/Northwest()
    if(src.mob.incar)
        step(src.mob, turn(src.mob.dir, 90))
        src.mob.dir = turn(src.mob.dir, -90)
    else ..()
world
    mob=/mob/player
mob
    var
        dead=0
        incar=0
    player
        icon='player.dmi'
        Move()
            if(src.dead)
                return
            else
                ..()
    car
        icon='car.dmi'
        Bump(mob/player/M)
            M.density=0
            M.icon_state="Squashed"
            M.dead=1
        verb
            Enter_Car()
                set src in oview(1)
                usr.client.mob=src
                src.incar=1
                del(usr)
            Exit_Car()
                var/mob/player/p=new(locate(usr.x-1,usr.y,usr.z))
                usr.client.mob=p
                src.incar=0
turf
    icon='map.dmi'

How is that MUCH better? It's less efficient!

I would just set the mob variable to the car, but if you don't want to do that...
client
    var/atom/movable/RC_move
    proc/set_RC(atom/movable/M)
        eye=M
        RC_move=M
    Move(loc,dir)
        if(RC_move)
            .=RC_move.Move(loc,dir)
        else
            .=..()

Setting the mob variable to the object would accomplish about the same thing.
