Hello guys, I'd like to use Torque 3D to some vehicle simulation game. For that I need to add some new functions to Wheeled Vehicle class, for example - gearbox. I'm thinking to add new datablock with gearbox parameters and new methods to WheeledVehicle class in C++ source code. So I have created this in wheeledVehicle.h: struct WheeledVehicleGearbox: public SimDataBlock
{
typedef SimDataBlock Parent;
U32 gearCount; // number of gears in gearbox
...
WheeledVehicleGearbox();
DECLARE_CONOBJECT(WheeledVehicleGearbox);
static void initPersistFields();
virtual void packData(BitStream* stream);
virtual void unpackData(BitStream* stream);
}; and in wheeledVehicle.cpp I have added: IMPLEMENT_CO_DATABLOCK_V1(WheeledVehicleGearbox);
ConsoleDocClass( WheeledVehicleGearbox,
"@brief Defines the properties of a WheeledVehicle gearbox.\n\n"
"@ingroup Vehicles\n"
);
void WheeledVehicleGearbox::initPersistFields()
{
addField( "gearCount", TypeS32, Offset(gearCount, WheeledVehicleGearbox),
"@brief Number of gears in the gearbox.\n\n"
"Number of gears in the gearbox." );
Parent::initPersistFields();
} in WheeledVehicle class implementation I have added void shiftUp();
void shiftDown(); and at the end of the wheeledVehicle.cpp DefineEngineMethod( WheeledVehicle, shiftUp, bool, (),,
"@brief Shift gear up.\n"
"@return true if successful, false if failed\n\n" )
{
object->shiftUp();
return true;
}
DefineEngineMethod( WheeledVehicle, shiftDown, bool, (),,
"@brief Shift gear down.\n"
"@return true if successful, false if failed\n\n" )
{
object->shiftDown();
return true;
} Now my question is - how can I bind those functions to a key in default.bind.cs so I can switch gears with keyboard? Should I create "serverCmd..." for them in scripts? But I think shifting gear in a vehicle is irrelevant for server and should be done only on client. Isn't it? I'm little confused here :) Maybe someone can give me some advise here?
