Hi guys, How would I script in deleting and spawning in vehicles via scripting? I've looked through the Lua reference and those don't have much info on how to use those functions. I want to make it so that when the player passes through a waypoint, it deletes some farther-away vehicles, and spawns in new vehicles closer to the player. How would I pull this off? Thanks!
This command seems to work. TorqueScript.eval('if(isObject("vehicle3'")) {"vehicle3'".delete(); }') I do get an error after doing the delete in a scenario. I haven't received a reply to my post.
I don't know of any way of deleting the vehicles without errors (and frankly, looking at the console while playing the demolition derbies with <4 players I don't think the devs have figured it out yet either). So there's 2 options here : - ignore the errors and use Code: TorqueScript.eval('if(isObject("vehicle3'")) {"vehicle3'".delete(); }') - Or in your case, if you just want to delete vehicles to create others which are closer, you could just teleport the cars and eventually change their jbeam and part config I think this code should work; but I haven't tested it since a few version so the result is not guaranteed Code: TorqueScript.eval([[ scenario_player0.JBeam = "pickup"; scenario_player0.partConfig = "vehicles/pickup/v8_4wd.pc"; scenario_player0.position = "0 0 0.42"; scenario_player0.rotation = "1 0 0 0"; scenario_player0.requestReload(); ]])
You guys rock, thanks! I will give that a try when I can. I'm assuming/hoping this would also work for AI cars, as that's what I'm hoping to use this for. Is that also the code that should delete/remove objects from a map at the start of a scenario, like theForest from the East Coast USA? Most importantly, what reference/API are you guys using to find those commands? I looked through the Lua reference from BeamNG's site (http://wiki.beamng.com/Lua:Reference) but those commands aren't listed.
It should work for any car yes, and I used a similar code to delete a forest object once. (TorqueScript.eval([[theForest.delete();]]) ) I don't think there's a comprehensive reference of all the commands, here's what I usually do then I want to do something but I have no idea how : 1- Search for scenarios using a similar function 2- Search on Internet 3- Search keywords in the folder BeamNG.drive\lua with the Find in files option with Notepad++, hoping to find something 4- Trying to write some lines hoping to guess the function names 5- Try to do it with another method (restart from point 1) 6- Ask on the forums
