Attempting the Impossible

and a console command to limit the view distance?

Perhaps fog?

[bugyspam]

no a actual command that limits it not just a view limiting fog command

The Localized Physics idea is fucking sick, I would kill just to see this done.

Ya know... a mobile Occluder would really be a kick in the pants... not having to render someones laggy robot from hell would be a really cool idea :P

Hi. I am bit new to lua but i might have a suggestion for an alternate method to achieve localized physics. I haven't finished tracking down all the functions needed, but I have found most of them. Here's my idea:

What if you <insert method to determine if you are in your ship> and apply the results of <ship part nearest player>.GetVelocity and <ship part nearest player>.GetAngleVelocity to the player, thereby keeping the player moving with the ship?

I'm sure it would be a bit more complicated than that, but is this approach worth investigating or am i missing something?

[Xandaros]

That wouldn't work as good. I'm pretty sure the best bet is to have the ship stand somewhere locally and render it somewhere else. As well as move the players' view.
It is a little tricky, though...

[DarkMonkey]

The biggest problem with just moving the player is rotation, if I recall the previous attempts correctly.

[bugyspam]

superlama no offence but the rendering problem is going nowhere faster then the speed of light. can you just assume a mapper would make a special ocluder room in there map so you can go ahead fix everything else?

[Treelor]

What about parenting the player to a core prop? Last I checked, player movement still worked whilst the player entity was parented. That's a good idea to at least get player walking down.

Guys, I think SuperLlama has well and truely abandoned this...
