Asw vehicle jeep

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

asw_vehicle_jeep is a point entity available in Alien Swarm.

Entity description

This is basically the hl2 buggy, ported into alien swarm. It doesn't work in multiplayer because it spawns a dummy jeep vehicle as soon as it start thinking, when the client count is bigger than one.

Todo: Add code segments.

Keyvalues

BaseDriveableVehicle:

Starts locked (VehicleLocked) <boolean>

Players cannot enter vehicle until it is unlocked.

BaseVehicle:

Vehicle Script File (vehiclescript) <string>

The vehicle script files contained in scripts\vehicles\ define the behaviour and handling of a vehicle. It is important to match the right script to the right entity/model:

• prop_vehicle_airboat: airboat.txt
• prop_vehicle_apc: apc.txt / apc_npc.txt
• prop_vehicle_crane: crane.txt
• prop_vehicle_prisoner_pod: prisoner_pod.txt
• prop_vehicle_jeep: jalopy.txt (only in ) / jeep_test.txt
• prop_vehicle_choreo_generic:
  • Half-Life 2: Episode One only:
  • choreo_vehicle.txt
  • choreo_vehicle_ep1_dogintro.txt
  • Half-Life 2: Episode Two only:
  • choreo_vehicle_ep2_barn1.txt
  • choreo_vehicle_ep2_hangar.txt
  • choreo_vehicle_ep2_intro.txt
  • choreo_vehicle_ep2_Outland_02.txt
  • choreo_vehicle_ep2_playertrapped.txt
• There is also reference_vehicle.txt, which you can modify to make your own vehicle or use as-is.
• prop_vehicle_sin: sincar.txt / sincar_pit.txt (only in )
• p3_vehicle_segway: segway.txt (only in )

Scale of action input / framerate (actionScale) <float>

Todo: How fast the vehicle turns/accelerates?

Inputs

BaseDriveableVehicle:

HandBrakeOn

HandBrakeOff

Turns the handbrake on/off, preventing the vehicle from driving but not disabling motion from external forces.

BaseVehicle:

Action <floatRedirectInput/float>

Set the speed of the action animation.

Todo: What does this mean?

TurnOn

Start engine and enable throttle.

TurnOff

Stop engine, disable throttle, engage brakes.

Lock

Unlock

Prevent/allow the player from entering or exiting the vehicle.

Outputs

BaseDriveableVehicle:

PlayerOn <void>

PlayerOff <void>

!activator = the player
!caller = this entity
Player entered/exited the vehicle.

PressedAttack <void>

PressedAttack2 <void>

!activator = !caller = this entity
Player pressed the +attack/+attack2 key.

AttackAxis <floatRedirectOutput/float>

Attack2Axis <floatRedirectOutput/float>

!activator = the player when exitting the vehicle other-wise it's this entity
!caller = this entity
State of the attack/attack2 buttons (can only be 0 or 1). Also called when the player exits the vehicle.

Enabling

The Buggy can work by adding a few missing files being the buggy model and the jeep_test script file

Assuming you own HL2 or Hl2DM you can get the files from

source models.cfg (inside "Models")
buggy.dx80.vtx
buggy.dx90.vtx
buggy.mdl
buggy.phy
buggy.sw.vtx
buggy.vvd

source materials.cfg (inside "Materials/Models/Buggy")
ammo_box.vmt
ammo_box.vtf
buggy001.vmt
buggy001.vtf

put them into the relevent folders in Alien swarm\swarm

also copy the following and put it into alien swarm\swarm\scripts\vehicles and call it jeep_test.txt

After all thats done, in hammer on any map add asw_Vehicle_jeep set the world model to the buggy and make sure the vehicle script file is "scripts/vehicles/jeep_test.txt"

save and run the map

and finally make sure the following console commands are set
asw_vehicle_cam_height 412
asw_vehicle_cam_dist 60
asw_vehicle_cam_pitch 60

you should now have a working yet pretty buggy..buggy!
