zones

[eagle]

what do i need to do to get a tank to spawn inside a building i made?
I have this:

Code: Select all

zone
 size 20 20 10
 position 350 0 5
 team 2
end 

but i still spawn on top of the building.

I also need help on how to make a box that bounces you up 60"units"
if someone could help that would be nice.

Make sure your zone is clearly under the building...
As for the "box that bounces..." look up physics in the man page or on jpa-'s 2.0 help pages.

my zone is clearly under the building.
and where do i find jpa-'s 2.0 help pages?

Make sure your coordinates are correct-

Go to bzflag open join server with obs
then

/roampos 350 0 5 ( think)

found it

http://kapsi.fi/~jpa/stuff/bzw/

Jpa's Stuff for map-making

Code: Select all

Height = ( velocity ^ 2 ) / ( 2 * gravity )

Default gravity is 9.81, so in our example:

Height = ( 50 ^ 2 ) / ( 2 * 9.81 ) = 2500 / 19.62 = ~ 127 units

Note that it is relational to the height of the trampoline.

so for 60 units you would have to find out what x is:
x sqaured divided by 19.62 to get your units.
x=about 34.5 units

Code: Select all

physics
	name trampoline
	linear 0 0 34.5
end
meshbox
	position 0 0 0
	size 10 10 5
	phydrv trampoline
end

here's the box:

Code: Select all

You have to make a mesh with only one side being drive-through. There is an example here in the map making forums somewhere. Very fun to play with.

Tanner, where is that? i can't find it.

Hmm, I might be able to fetch you an example from BoxyWar... can't tonight, though.
