VScript Vehicles

Allows prop_vehicle_driveable entities to function in TF2 via VScript. This is not func_vehicle!

Usage

Create a prop_vehicle_driveable entity and set up its model and vehicle script file as usual. In the Entity Scripts section, assign the vehicle.nut script. This script must be assigned to all vehicles. If your vehicle behaves like an Airboat, you will need to set spawnflags to 8 or the physics will glitch out. This can be done by turning off SmartEdit in Hammer.

Finally, create a logic_script and assign it the vehicle_events.nut file. Everything will now work.

NOTE: If using HL2 vehicles such as buggy or airboat, you must add the contents of scripts/game_sounds_vehicle.txt (located in hl2/hl2_misc.vpk) to your maps/<map_name>_level_sounds.txt for sounds to work.

NOTE: vehicle_events.nut setups required event listeners for vehicles and adds a think function to the player. If your map uses scripts with their own events and clears them, or adds a custom think function to the player, you will need to modify vehicle_events.nut for compatibility. The following sources of compatibility need to be considered:

• If you have ClearGameEventCallbacks in one of your scripts, then remove it from vehicle_events.nut.
• If you have a think function assigned to players, then remove it from vehicle_events.nut and call Vehicle_FindInCrosshair from your own think function.
• If you are using OnScriptHook_OnTakeDamage, then remove it from vehicle_events.nut and call Vehicle_OnTakeDamage from your own hook function.

NOTE: Vehicles require sv_turbophysics 0 for player collisions, so this script will automatically set that.

Limitations

The camera will behave weirdly if the player exceeds extreme angles such as flipping upside down. A potential way to resolve this is to assign a point_viewcontrol to the vehicle, but that is out of scope for this project.

Entry/exit animations do not function, but this isn't too much of a big deal.
