conga line when?

#

could be useful for missions until real driving is in

#

it's just dot product to figure out if wheels should turn left or right

Is it live? @glass frigate

glass frigate Oct 11, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

nope, just me being bored, but if I make something out of this I'll publish it

#

it only drives forward and turns (following a polyline), so don't expect any actual driving

#

er obstacle avoidance rather

glass frigate it only drives forward and turns (following a polyline), so don't expect any act...

I mean fair enough? Can be useful during ops against AI with a dedicated GM who’s just GMing the whole time.

Nice @glass frigate
I'd like to see the code one day
We kind of prepared controller component to be usable this way, but I'm sure you had some issues which we didn't predict

acoustic widget Nice <@267285803720245258> I'd like to see the code one day We kind of prepared...

#

the biggest issue with this so far is different vehicles behave differently, so it'd have to be smart enough to figure out maximum acceptable steering angles and what not without being written to deal with a particular vehicle specifically

#

this is literally just turn wheels until you're heading toward the destination, so no reverse, no avoidance, etc

#

still works better than tesla self driving

I like the swimming sounds the btr makes :3

no release date, I will set one if this ever becomes a serious project (rather than just messing with vehicles when bored)

solid pendant Oct 13, 2022, 10:14 PM

#

Ok

acoustic widget Oct 15, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

You using PID for steering?

glass frigate Oct 15, 2022, 11:47 AM

#

no just a clamped dot product, I'll do better steering after some more important things

#

if I do more work on this I would like to implement some basic avoidance before I do any cool stuff

acoustic widget Oct 15, 2022, 12:07 PM

#

I have to race you then.

glass frigate Oct 15, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

what's the prize?

acoustic widget Oct 15, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Dunno, being the first I guess

flint pendant Oct 15, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

if you win I will make you a flamethrower of your choosing for arma refroger or 4

#

can also be a rocket launcher too, that projects a flammable load.

glass frigate Oct 16, 2022, 9:41 AM

#

as far as I know this is the first "car driving" reforger thing ever posted so I win by default

#

I see what you did there

#

Mine is the first one to be in the codebase though. AICarSteeringComponent

#

.. and AICarMovementComponent
Which btw we are refactoring to make simpler structure.

glass frigate Oct 16, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

ah maybe in your build since on main I only see AIBaseSteeringComponent
