I am trying to figure out how to make a car my char can use

[ianbach]

Hello I am making a zombie game and I want to make a car vehicle sorta like the boat or airship ones.

My game is a zombie game that mimics the movie "shaun of the dead"

So I am stuck at how do I make a car my character would be able to use

EDIT 11-16-2014 adding info I found for vehicle scripts: and my 1st Demo !!

* credit for demo is will's script also may have a hime fix game bug script 0 a generic bug in prg maker - the song when u enter vehicle is "In my Mind" by Tao Jonz of Santa Barbara CA USA they look like they would make it big in 1992 but after they finished college at UC Santa Barbara they all kinda went dif ways. They are all very successful in business now with families. They had one or two albums that made it to cassette tape i think also records. I am friends with a lot of So Cal and English bands from the 80s and 90s. You can use their music freely for non commercial. Commercial contact them or, if you would like I can contact them for you. We can probably work a free deal, to promote their old album and only use 1 or 2 songs. BUt it is fun in the Sun music. They were a big influence on the band "Sublime" from Long Beach another band I still get free back stage passes from, fun to have old friends.

Change Vehicle BGM based on Time

Description > Author: DiamondandPlatinum3 > Date: September 1, 2012

"So I was playing 'Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker' earlier and heard the day and night time boat themes which gave me an idea. This script will allow you to stop the vehicle BGM from playing based on an event switch, but will also allow you to change the BGM that is played depending on the time of day."

[Sausage_Boi]

There is a script, and it can be found http://pastebin.com/aSFvZiY1 This is NOT mine, so be sure to credit William C for this amazing script.

Spoiler

authors profile at RPGMakervxace http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/user/9189-william-c/

If you need any help figuring out anything else in your list, PM me, I might be able to help you out

Edit: I don't know if it will cause any conflicts. It is the first (and only) script I have used so far, and it worked wonders for me.

 

[ianbach]

That script seems to require some other scripts to work?
do you know the links for the other scripts needed for this one?

 

[Sausage_Boi]

Sorry, same Author, different script: http://pastebin.com/aSFvZiY1

Edit:

And as a head's up, the author says DO NOT edit the script headers. 

 

[WCouillard]

I'll edit the scripts to have a Terms of Use, but basically use it as you wish for non-commercial and commercial projects, no in-game credit required (always appreciated though) and just don't edit the commented parts of the scripts. Enjoy!

The thread is in the correct place, because I moved it to the correct place If you ever post it in the wrong place, don't start a new thread - a mod will move it for you. If you realize straight away you've posted it in the wrong place, just report it and ask for it to be moved - if a mod sees that before seeing the thread in the wrong place, you won't even get the blue text saying we've moved it

did i double post?

if so sorry new to forum, need relearn ins and outs and all new ones i need learn where to find stuff

I actually thought the car could be done with just events......?

also anyone know how do I make it so they need to find the key to the car before they can drive it...

also i want to make it so     if player crashes into parked cars maybe go to a garage to repair car or disable the car make it a crashed up graphic

and need to find another car

does will's script for cars =?  is it set to 3 land vehicles by default?

i new to scripts sorry

also i think i will have to make a horse land vehicle

take a horse sprite add in the player in photoshop make a new sprite with char mounted sweet

edit

looks like the default is only first one is a car/land vehicle.

how do i make it so all 3 are land vehicles

i need 2 diff cars (like in movie)

and want to make a house one on 3rd spot/airship slot

Double posting is posting twice in a row - even if the content is different. Post #6 is yours, and post #7 is yours, 75 minutes later.


I don't have time to go into this in detail, but if you want your car event to be able to go everywhere a player can, you MIGHT be able to just do it with events. Use a conditional branch to see if the player has the key (there's an "Item ... in Inventory" option in the Conditional Branch). When you're ready to put them into the car, do a Change Actor Graphic (I'd do it to everyone, if you don't know who's going to be the leader), Set Move Route to make them move faster (optionally), and disable the menu (you don't want them going into the menu or saving and seeing that all the party members are now cars). On whatever event you're using to make them get out of the car (a garage, parking spot, whatever) do a Change Actor Graphic and Set Move Route again to put them back the way they should be, and enable the menu again.


And having said that, those instructions seem REALLY familiar to me. I'm sure I've gone over them in the recent past. Maybe you could do a search for Vehicle and see what comes up. It might be that the other person who asked ended up going with a script option anyway. But there are bound to be some more instructions in that thread if you can find it.

 

[ianbach]

yup i did a search before i made any posts.
only saw one but it didn't really answer questions i had or go into detail like you just did

if i do  it as event can i exit vehicle anytime like when i use the script
really wish i knew how to make the script have 3 land vehicles??
i haven't seen that covered for sure?
also some something about glav script and them working together but couldn't find the link to galv main one the patch was for

thanks for the help Shaz

 

[Shaz]

There ARE scripts around that let you add new vehicles (the thread I mentioned had the name of one, and maybe a link to it as well - it was really recent - I'm surprised it didn't come up in your searches - maybe it IS the Galv one). I don't know what types of vehicles - none of the default ones are land.


You COULD make it land anywhere, but you'd need to use a parallel process event to detect a keypress when you're in the vehicle. Then you'd need to use extra events (or a script) to remember where your car event should be. If you're going to allow the player to move between maps, that's an added complication (you can't move an event from one map to another).

 

[ianbach]

well the will C... vehicle one someone linked above makes small boat into land vehicle goes under game objects section of game os scripts and makes use of the normal boat  avail in game op sys

i am sure prob a way to do same for all 3 os vehicles
but would be best done by will n the other pros at it

i set up map that the sidewalk is no step  for vehicle portion of the game 
will's script uses the char walking default for small boat's uses / able terrain

will's info in header was good easy for me to know how turn event touch on while in vehicle default is off

most likely its galvs script
stuff i tried of his is very stable and low level of probs with other scripts
dang u got my hopes up i just checked dont have time but figured best to link it if he did have one. he has vehicle on off locations script
not a vehicle script
checked his entire list of vx ace no  joy

sadly i still did not find the post u mentioned did u have a link?
it could be someone didnt put good tags on it?
else i would think it should pop top on search


here is a mapshot of one of the first zones I made
its the outside of the winchester tavern

gives a cool 3D feel to the zone 
its not a paralax either wish i knew how do those well but that will folow soon nuf on ye ole skillset
no mobs in mapshot - it looks like it up top but thats background no pass tiles
on way they is non stop zombies a virtual sea of hehe
also anyone interested in it message me ill give gdrive link

Is there a way to add more tags to a post?

I didn't see the tags option on edit I will try again

is it double posting because i gave links that are on diff threads?

I am not much of a forum user I set up many for guilds/companies in games but thats pretty much extent of my posting

my post was originally not in script thread because I had lots of questions about vehicle, and not just whats the link for any given script

edit add

retried to add tags

needed to hit "use full editor"

thats why I didn't see it on edit...sorry

i thought it maybe nice to have a thread devoted to vehicles, seems lots people have questions about vehicles. like my question for will on making more than just the one spot as a presence per say for trigger events?  Its kinda a whole bunch dif topics the use of vehicle prompts I did a search and couldn't find much. oh I also need to find out if his plug and play can be made to do all 3 operating sys vehicles be land vehicles.

I would like you to know I am not just posting  to get my post numbers up, as you can see I only have a few. after a week of study on vehicles prob wont see me post much after.

[Shaz]

It is double posting because you are making 2 or 3 or 4 posts in a row.


If you have something to add, and the last post in the thread is yours, edit it and add the extra information. Don't make another post in the same thread straight after your last one.


If you want to quote several people in the same answer, hit the MultiQuote button on each of their posts. When you've selected them all, hit the Reply to Selected Posts button.


We don't have "threads about subjects". If someone needs help with a particular problem, they post about it with the details and we help them. Then we close the thread. Having one big thread that a hundred people contribute to makes it next to impossible to see what's answered and what's not. What you are talking about is more suited to tutorials, and they require a "teaching" format, not just a listing/linking format.


So is your question resolved and can this be closed? If not, please just stick with the problem you're having so we can work at solving it.
