Driving Direction

Post by S_gamez »

Not a issue just some questions !

I noticed this when i drive the Car, compared with the Tanks. The car turns towards (S,A(Backward Left)) if i press those, or (W,A(Forward left)) for that. Also the same for (W,D(Forward Right )) or (S,D(Backward Right)). Then the car turns the same way backwards and forwards.
[Example would be that i press (W,A(Forward left)) it turns left, same for (S,A(Backward Left)). It still turns Left.]

But in a Tank. it goes not the same. as if i press (S,A(Backward left)) it turns (S,D(Backward Right)) instead for doing (S,A(Backward Left)) as the Car. Neither forward forward or backward right ? So to me it looks like it's ceeping the forward turn function to do a turn backward. then to the Questions

keyboard example:
W
A,S,D

1st. So is this because of the vehicle as a Tank. Or some different reason ?
2nd. Also is the tank coded on purpose to act like my exsampel ?

Yes to both, the tank has 'tank steering', because it has treads which can move independently

You will notice, the tank can turn while stationery, while the car cannot.

Thanks for the info was thinking that was way. did know that function of the tank tho.
Still the tanks is annoying to drive because of that.

Then i wondering. Can not the tanks switch tread(s) as it can move independently. so then when it drive backward + turn. That it then switches to the other tread(s) for possibility make the car way of turning, to look at it realistic, for a turn mechanic.

Not saying it would be implemented to the game. But still to me the switch can be realistic without my exact expertise ?
