Car driving script request/question (GTA Style)

[oooo191]

Hi everyone i was wondering if anyone could help me   

Im looking for a way to make a car in RPG maker VX ACE to have acceleration, Brakes and smooth turning
i know using some Victor Ace scripts i can get multiple frames for the wheels but i was wondering if anyone
has a way to make a vehicle act like a vehicle for example a car from lets say retro city rampage or GTA 1 and 2
i can imagine this has either been tackled many times and im willing to go through hell and earth to get this to work
does anyone know a way thanks

Bump - anyone got some car scripts?

 

[DoubleX]

I've searched and didn't found any

I'd imagine any such engine/system will need at least these components(each being an advanced complex script):

- Animation spritesheet handling script for displaying the cars driving with different directions and cornering(the animation spritesheets themselves won't be provided of course)

- Basic 2D kinematics script for replicating the cars' velocities and accelerations(the cars acceleration and deceleration settings, and maximum velocities are set by users)

- 2D collision detection and resolution script for basic shapes to mimic collision with the cars and other some objects(its difficulty depends on how convoluted the shapes are in your game)

- Basic friction script for simulating different behaviors when the cars drive on different terrains and perhaps weathers if you want(the terrain frictions and weather impacts are set by users)

I think all these are needed even if your car driving script requests are meant to be easy and simple.

P.S.: 2D pixel movements are actually needed too, but finding one that work for you should be easy

Don't think you need a script to achieved what you want if it's something like the old school race car mini game.

Seen an example before where all is done using eventing only.

Edit:

Gave it a try and turns out i only need 1 event on Auto to do the trick.

[1] Setup a race track map (Not the starter map)

[2] Put an event in the map and set it to auto (auto prevents the player from doing anything)

[3] In the event, do this:

Spoiler

    Condition Check: Button pressed: C (C button to move)

           Condition Check: Button pressed: Left (must be inside C condition check)

                      Move route : move left (speed down when moving left/right)

                       Variable A -= 1 (Set up a condition check Variable >=0 so it won't go over minus)

           end

           Condition Check: Button pressed: Right (must be inside C condition check)

                      Move route : move right

                       Variable A -= 1 (speed down when moving left/right)

           end

           Moveroute: move forward (move forward while C is pressed)

           Variable A += 1

           Condition Check: Variable A >= 60 (Acceleration Part)

                     Do nothing here           

           else

                Condition Check: Variable A >= 50

                      Move route : wait(1 frame) wait

                else

                     Condition Check: Variable A >= 40

                           Move route : wait(2 frame) wait (the longer the frame wait, the slower the vehicle goes)

                     end

           end

    else

           Condition Check: Variable A >= 0

               Variable A -= 10 (Speed down when not pressing C)

           end

    end

[4] Give it a test, fix the player's facing in move route and change his/her sprite to a vehicle before transferring to the race track map.

Edit:

Well, it sounds complicated with words alone. Here's the sample.
