Unless I've just not found it yet, I'd love to see a scoring system for relevant missions based on: Distance From Start (A to B) Elevation From Start & Distance + Elevation To create missions for: How far you can get within a time limit (A to B distance - not distance traveled as in the Hypermiling missions) How high you can get up a challenging hill climb. I'm sure this can be done somehow in Flowgraph but I haven't got there yet and this seems like it could be a popular challenge style. If this already exists, I'll remove this suggestion.
Yer so flowgraph has both these features. jump height is a self contained node I think, you can actually open the Gavril jump scenario in the flowgraph editor to see how they calculate jump scores. The AB distance score would be just a simple linear interpolation between points A and B then you can multiply that by a score.
@jamessimo Thank you. I'll be diving into the Flowgraph editors soon & I do think this should be pretty easy to calculate for scoring. I do still think this scoring feature would nice to have in the 'Mission Editor" though.
I think jump height is specifically for jumps (height above ground/static mesh surface), I'm not sure it'll cover overall elevation. I would program it by using a vehicle data node, plugging the player vehicle id into the input, and then splitting the vector output to get the Z position (vertical position). Compare that Z position with the Z position of the start point, and you have your scoring for height.
Thanks. The mission I'm creating is one that has a finish line, but I'd like to have Bronze and Silver medals awarded for distance from start and Gold for reaching the finish (with a one minute time limit). It works the way I have it now, (using hypermiling mission presets) but you can cheat the distance by simply driving in a circle. However, you still can't get the gold without crossing the finish line. @jamessimo The method you suggest would work for heights, but also for calculating linear distance using the x & y vectors. Thank you for your feedback.
