Vehicle Route Constraint System

Overview

The main two entities involved in the vehicle route constraint system are:

Constraints:

To connect the markers together, use ctrlk as usual.
Position markers 32 units off the ground, about 1024 units apart (more is ok, try not to go less). The precision cursor (F11) is particularly useful for this.
All the markers must also be linked to the contoller by setting a parent key to the name of the controller.
To disable air drops on a point, set the no_air_drop key to 1. Use this for markers inside tunnels or under overhangs.

Set editor_unique1 to make sure this entity is not renamed
Set the mask to use on the mask key (see Playzone below).
Set the number of points that will be considered a warning on the num_points_warning key. (Default: 3)
Set the number of points that will be kick the player on the num_points_max key. (Default: 6)
Set the model to use for the arrow on the model_directional key. (Default: models/guis/assets/arrow.lwo)
Set the skin to use on the arrow on the skin_direction_model key. (Default: deployEffect}
Set the colour of the arrow on the directional_model_color key. (Default: 0 1 0)

The mask is defined in an appropriate playzone (Default: mask_mcp_route)
Set mask_mcp_route at an mcp_route.tga in the masks/ folder for your map (e.g. for Valley you'd use masks/valley/mcp_route.tga)
Add a key zone_vehicle_route with the value of 1 to the same playzone as the mask key

g_drawRouteConstraints Set this to 1 to debug the route of the vehicle you are currently using, set it to 2 to debug paths being used by any vehicle.
- The green sphere is the best point reached by the vehicle
- The red box is the current point the vehicle is at.
- The blue sphere is the best point reached that is available for an air drop.
g_noRouteConstraintKick Enables/disables the player being kicked for going the wrong way.
g_noRouteMaskDestruction Enables/disables the MCP checking the mask position is valid.
