Heh, oops. My formating lost something on that last post. The message was something like You clicked on the window placeable, and were sent a message that said something like "You're passing through AREA. Outside it's WEATHER. From the coach, you can see PC1, PC2, etc. You also see PLACEABLES, NPCs, etc."

Sounds cool though. Yeah, on the window, I started a window system that worked more or less like this. You clicked on the window placeable, and were sent a message that said something like "You're passing through . Outside it's . From the coach, you can see You also see "
Basically, along the route, the builder would tag any placeables they wanted to show up from a window with a local variable. The script checked a certain radius from the coach, I think.
There was more I wanted to do, such as actually clone the PC in place and jump them, cutscene invis, to the outside location of the coach briefly. But that seemed like it might be too jarring, and could have long loading times for a peek out a window. ;)
Don't know if I still have my partial system anymore. Hmm, maybe I'll scout around a bit when I get the chance.

P.s. Jack.
I also made a "Coach Schedule" sign placeable that when used allows the player to read where the coach currently is traveling.

just make a placeable (i used a sign)
1) make it PLOT,USEABLE
2) on the OnUse event place the following script.

****************************************************
void main()
{
string sArea;
object oDriver = GetObjectByTag("COACH");
sArea = GetName(GetArea(oDriver));
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();

if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

FloatingTextStringOnCreature("The Coach is currently traveling within the borders of "+sArea+".", oPC);

}

Absolutely, that'd be excellent. I'm very glad you're getting anything out of this. I think it was one of the first things I tried to do with the game, long ago.

I already modified your Base mod to incorporate the new tileset as well as 'random barkstring triggers', 'random 'shake screen' vfx if your interested I can send you the modified mod (I used it so I can re-create an erf to import into my own PW)

Hey, thanks LoW! Yeah, I spotted the new tileset, and I'm eager to check it out.
Merry Christmas!

Hey, if anyone checks this out, Lord of Worms is working on a nice coach interior tilest (already released a preliminary proof of concept) that looks great! When that excellent tileset is available, it's highly recommended for use with this system. I know I will be using it.

Regards,
JFK

Adding a window is rather simple....

just put a placeable being the window inside the coach and add this script to its OnUsed event:

void main()
{
object oCoach = GetObjectByTag("COACH2");
string areaName = GetName( GetArea( oCoach ));

AssignCommand( GetLastUsedBy(), SpeakString( "Looks like we were in " + areaName ));
}

replace "COACH2" with the tag of the coach the window is in.

by the way i ran into some nastyproblem using this coach system:

my coaches drive around like mad for some time after starting the module... if they do not hang somewhere upon this "mad driving" period the return to the route and everything is fine from then on..

does anybody has an idea what causes this problem and is there a fix for it?

regards
Mike

Thanks for the fast reply. I posted that yesterday so your very quick. Thanks for the mod, everything seems to be working. Didn't you say that you were going to do a window to the coach? If so I would love to add that as well if you still have the time to make it. If not, thanks anyhow for the coach, it will be a great addition.

Oriental Dreams,
Zulic

Sorry for the delay. Real life, ya know.
I have updated the module to have the custom objects/items/triggers/creatures in the palette. You can see where each thing is found in the read me. Hope this is useful.

Hello. I;m sorry I still don't see the coach in the pallette. I would really like this in my Server Oriental Dreams. If you could reply to this asap that would be great. Heh, can't wait to add it, sounds like a great idea.

Oriental Dreams Server,

Zulic

Sorry about that. I will update this with a few small changes, including putting the coach in the palette. I should have pointed out that there is no actual model of a coach. For demonstrating the system, I have used the animated table model.

Um... no coach in the pallette - at least not where it says one should be in the readme... nice idea though.
