EDIT: heres the code i am trying to use - but it just jilts the tank left/right/up/down, then it returns to the original coordinates. Code: action move_tank() { while(1) { //forward and reverse if(key_pressed(17) == 1) c_move(me, vector(10,0,0), nullvector, IGNORE_PASSABLE); if(key_pressed(31) == 1) c_move(me, vector(-10,0,0), nullvector, IGNORE_PASSABLE); //rotation if(key_pressed(30) == 1) c_rotate (me, vector(2,0,0), IGNORE_PASSABLE); if(key_pressed(32) == 1) c_rotate (me, vector(-2,0,0), IGNORE_PASSABLE); //downwards if(key_pressed(46) == 1) c_move(me, vector(0, 0, -20 * time_step), nullvector, IGNORE_PASSABLE); wait(1); } } for some reason, only rotation works. and it only does so if i hold down key 46 (which presses the tank against the level) Last edited by pewpew; 01/01/09 08:52.

But I think that when you're using physics you need to work with forces to move things around. I don't know how's your model, but depending on it you could apply a torque in the wheels or a simple force, pointing forward, in the gravity center of the whole object. [edit: actually, I don't think it matters if the force is in the gc] [edit2: actually, I don't think you can choose where to apply the force on an object! ] Last edited by DiegoFloor; 01/02/09 22:29.
