Help with turning/sliding

[Super-Sheep]

So I want to make the turning look more natural and include "sliding" to it...

Pictures related.

1st one is the one that it is like. 2nd one is the one how it should be... Or something like that.

you will need two variables which represent vertical and horizontal velocity
then you have to add an accelerating force to vx and vy instead of setting their speed to some value

You mean like a car that is "drifting" (drift, as in Drift Mode in Need For Speed Series)

Yeah kind of.

And then I could maybe myself make it so that the "drifting lenght" is affected by the current speed.

If you don't get my post I can try to explain it with other words
but if you just ignore it I can't help you

I kinda understood what you mean but I cant brain enough to execute it.

So if I understood right:
Instead of setting speed. I have two variables. Other tells how fast it is gonna move in horizontal(X) and other on the vertical(Y) level. Then I change those variables every X milliseconds a bit depending on the facing angle of the unit. Something like that?

+ If you dont mind just make a quick test map with Footman or something that makes this sliding because it would explain everything but if you want to do it in words then try to.

pretty close
the vertical and horizontal speed only changes as long as the player presses the gas pedal

I made a testmap (multiplayer and it turned out to be quite awesome
have fun with it

Looks like you didnt even test the map that I attached.

Because I was trying to make it controllable by mouse. So this isnt really what I asked for.

seriously???? by mouse???
ahaha wtf xD
how many car games you know are controlled by mouse?
right
not many
there is a reason for it

of course my code is easily adaptable but I would no want to play it with a mouse

There is also a reason why I want it to be mouse controllable: Delay.

What's your plan to register the mouse clicks or movement?

 

[Garfield1337]

Lol guys, if you downloaded his map you would see it's not a car race, it's a race of peons where you order them to move (obviously with mouse).

 

[Bribe]

No opportunity to download maps when I'm at work

why should mouse control be free of delay?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Because of Blizzard.

Because of Blizzard.

well...the last time I played wc3 (which I have to admit was a long time ago) my mouse clicks had delay :/

It is possible to reduce the delay to numbers like 10 milliseconds with bots and other tools that is almost no delay but there is always delay in arrows no matter what you did.

I just tested it online and noticed that there is delay with arrow keys
but same goes of mouse
maybe it is harder to notice that mouse has delay under normal circumstances
nevertheless during testing I found keyboard control much more convenient than mouse even with delay

You want something like this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-mini-game-mapping-contest-3-war-carts-cv.w3x.
Its my mini game for the latest contest and is already done.
It isn't protected.
The game actually needs some tuning but the movement system works perfectly
If you want something like this I can adapt it for your maps need and to tell you the truth I don't feel any delay with my system.
If it's not something like what you want plz don't flame I don't have time to test your map :/

Yeah I am not gonna start flaming you but testing takes less than 30 seconds to be honest. How you guys even manage to live in that hurry?

I didn't test it because I could not imagine a driving game where the player uses the mouse instead of keyboard keys
