Source Vehicle Scripting

Source Vehicle Scripting

In a step-by-step process, examine the purpose and various uses for every scriptable property of the vehicle systems. Vehicle scripts present a particular problem due to the complex, hidden interactions between variables. With Source Vehicle Scripting, you'll learn not only what those interactions are, but you'll also go through examples of how to fine tune them to get the results you are looking for. From a car that falls up to a drag racing sports car, you'll run the gamut of possible changes and learn from experience the limits of scripting.

In this module you'll learn all about vehicle scripts in the Source engine. What their values do, how to change them, what results you want and what you can do if just scripting isn't enough.
