SetPosition wont work on controllers?

[Soamp]

Hi,

I've a problem with controller. I have a character who can walk around freely and drive a car with sending a "use" message.

I hide it's model and controller when it's driving a car but it appears in it's old position (where it got on the car) when it get off the car.

I used SetPosition on controller and set it's position to my car pivot position when it get off the car but the controller wont move!

 

object.controller:SetPosition(carpivot:GetPosition(1),1)

 

When I use UpdateController instead of SetPosition, the controller moves from it's original position but it's too difficult to use UpdateController to move the controller exactly wherever I want.

 

self.controller:Update(EntityRotation(carpivot,1).y,CARSPEED.z,0, 0, 5000, 10)

 

BTW. I'm using PiCharacter but I made some changes on it's sourcecode.

 

I have a couple of questions :

Did anyone work on getting on/off vehicles?

Is there any way to use SetPosition correctly on controllers? Am I doing somthing wrong?

 

thanks

I would just walk the controller inside the car, and have somekind of arresting mechanism to hold the controller in place. For example put some invisible physics cubes around the controller when he is inside the car, so he will move when the car moves.

Does the character require a controller when in the car? I wouldn't think it would, so I would just hide the controller (if that's possible) when the character gets in and unhide it when it gets out. Generally when your character gets into a vehicle the vehicle now becomes the controller.

here is what I've done:

my character is for example in (10,10,10) behind the car:

by pressing "E" he will get in the car and mesh and controller will be just invisible.

I can drive to a new position like (100,100,100):

in 100,100,100 I want to get out of the car. so I set character controller position to 100,100,100.

but it will appear in 10,10,10:

do you know why?!

 

here is my script:

Is there any sort of parent to the controller? I guess I'd need to see the code to know why. I'm using PositionEntity() myself on the controller and it works.
