WOW! That's amazing :D Can't wait to test it :) It looks awesomely.

Ok, thanks guys :) I tried with the serverCmd() and it worked. Therefore I think I will use that.

Thanks for help!

Thanks, chriscalef.

I will give it a try.

Hello guys,

I'd like to use Torque 3D to some vehicle simulation game. For that I need to add some new functions to Wheeled Vehicle class, for example - gearbox.

I'm thinking to add new datablock with gearbox parameters and new methods to WheeledVehicle class in C++ source code.

So I have created this in wheeledVehicle.h:

struct WheeledVehicleGearbox: public SimDataBlock
{
	typedef SimDataBlock Parent;
 
	U32 gearCount;		// number of gears in gearbox
	...
 
	WheeledVehicleGearbox();
	DECLARE_CONOBJECT(WheeledVehicleGearbox);
	static void initPersistFields();
	virtual void packData(BitStream* stream);
	virtual void unpackData(BitStream* stream);
};

and in wheeledVehicle.cpp I have added:

IMPLEMENT_CO_DATABLOCK_V1(WheeledVehicleGearbox);
 
ConsoleDocClass( WheeledVehicleGearbox,
	"@brief Defines the properties of a WheeledVehicle gearbox.\n\n"
	"@ingroup Vehicles\n"
);
 
void WheeledVehicleGearbox::initPersistFields()
{
	addField( "gearCount", TypeS32, Offset(gearCount, WheeledVehicleGearbox),
      "@brief Number of gears in the gearbox.\n\n"
      "Number of gears in the gearbox." );
 
	Parent::initPersistFields();
}

in WheeledVehicle class implementation I have added

void shiftUp();
void shiftDown();

and at the end of the wheeledVehicle.cpp

DefineEngineMethod( WheeledVehicle, shiftUp, bool, (),,
	"@brief Shift gear up.\n"
	"@return true if successful, false if failed\n\n" )
{
	object->shiftUp();
	return true;
}
 
DefineEngineMethod( WheeledVehicle, shiftDown, bool, (),,
	"@brief Shift gear down.\n"
	"@return true if successful, false if failed\n\n" )
{
	object->shiftDown();
	return true;
}

Now my question is - how can I bind those functions to a key in default.bind.cs so I can switch gears with keyboard?

Should I create "serverCmd..." for them in scripts? But I think shifting gear in a vehicle is irrelevant for server and should be done only on client. Isn't it?

I'm little confused here :) Maybe someone can give me some advise here?
