Title: Drive by from passenger seat from car or/and chopper
Post by: Jaga848 on July 09, 2011, 08:18:03 am
Well, today I got to this idea. I was playing single player and did some drive bys from chopper and car lol. I know it would
probably be very hard to script but, I think it might be possible. 'Nuff said. Let me hear your oppinions on this now.

I don't think it's even possible to script.

IMO it is a feature in game that'd need to have remade GTA VC.

As for the helicopter - I guess it's from that mission right, where you get to gun down some people on rooftops from the open door of the chopper?
Don't think it is possible to set up, but great mission.

Passanger drive-by is not possible in VCMP. Its only possible in SAMP. Same for the helicopter.

Well, those ideas I get these days are really... not possible. Btw yeah, great mission.

This is a client-side idea, not a server side idea.
You can suggest ideas like this on the VCMP Forum (http://forum.vicecitymultiplayer.com).

This ain't SAMP, like others said before.
Btw, why would this be useful anyway? Style?

Imagine firing an M60 from inside a police maverick while chasing down a bank robber whos on like 2 heat level. Yeah now your seeing its uses...

I actually had the same idea but actually possible to script for 0.4 squirrel, but didn't post it.

If you type /c db while a passanger you get teleported and stickied to the car roof, leaving half of your body visible, you can't fall off. Now you can shoot, if you type /c db again you get teleported on the backseat. Remember the phone missions? In one of them, there were some bodyguards drive-bying from the car roof - they were just stickied on which looked like they fire from opened main roof window.

Well, you know. This might be useful not only for cops, for criminals too. When there's for example a gang war, it would be more
realistic. Well, it would take much hard work to be scripted but, isn't worthy of trying?
Title: Re: Drive by from passenger seat from car or/and chopper
Post by: Marcell on July 10, 2011, 12:03:32 pm
It isn't 'hard to script' it's impossible to script, for example cause of the game not detecting you're in a car when in passanger seat, you can't enable the crosshair-thingy (when you only see a crosshair) and such. The only way to script is, is to teleport the player to car roof and stick him there when he types /c db, which isn't possible for now cause the game can't detect that you're in a car if you're the passanger, and besides if someone else will start driving, most likely the car will ram you to death cause of de-synch. Hell, you won't even shoot on others screen, instead you will be flying behind a car like superman (try to jump on a roof of the car and ask the driver what he sees)

so stop asking, eventually we can have axxo/storm to put the final word and lock the topic

Probably in 0.4.

As for the sticky-on-the-roof thing, those of you who have tried the Long Night mod would remember the tank you drive in the beginning, where an NPC Soldier acts as a turret with an M4.

Yes, that's the point. Im just afraid if we make a player act like a turret and stick him into car, it will be de-synched and the car will kill him when moving

Post by: JDC on July 10, 2011, 01:48:57 pm
It might be possibly scripted in the future where the player's object is read as attached to the car's, rather than being a player model stuck into the car roof up to its waist.
Title: Re: Drive by from passenger seat from car or/and chopper
Post by: detective_perry on July 10, 2011, 02:07:30 pm
Why you need this if car surfing will be synched better in 0.4?
Title: Re: Drive by from passenger seat from car or/and chopper
Post by: Morphine on July 10, 2011, 05:12:02 pm
Because you won't be glued to the car's roof with cement like in SA:MP.
Quote from: maxorator
You will not be stuck to the roof like in SA:MP

Post by: stormeus on July 11, 2011, 05:32:13 pm
Some VC:MP beta testers noted that there is such a thing as a "turret mode" where passengers can drive-by. They haven't really said if it'll be included in 0.4, though.

lol shooting a turret from a chopper would be fucking mens

Yes, add both EMP and m60's and to helicopters  :mad:

Yes, but the vehicle wouldn't have an ID

Actually, the AI Maverick would be a VCPD Maverick programmed to destroy any target, and would probably destroy the server if it went on a rampage. Which is why we should never get "AI Warriors", no matter how advanced VCMP technology gets. :lol:

It's called a DECEPTICON.
I find it quite ironic how Decepticons are pictured as cop cars.

I remember when I nearly killed all 3 FBI Directors (SA) by just patrolling. Special Agent Kolta nearly assassinates top feds. :lol:

As for drive-by itself, it is possible on cars (not helis, you'd get blade-raped) through artificial code. However, the script would become lagtastic from constantly gluing you and you wouldn't be able to re-enter as a passenger without stopping to get in, so this idea isn't practical possibly until 0.4.
Title: Re: Drive by from passenger seat from car or/and chopper
Post by: Jaga848 on July 17, 2011, 06:30:56 pm
Well, ok. But, I'm glad it will maybe be scripted in 0.4.  :)
