Animated car going in reverse? Object position event problem | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

Ok, here's what I've done:

Object position event; (local) Position X with positive value of 50 meters. Event target the cop car, selected event Linear curve data source with start at 0 and end at 50 and an Interval trigger with Start tick at 0 and Interval at 1.

This makes the cop car reverse away from the rider, not chase it.

If I reverse the cop car it works as intended, but the cop car is chasing the rider in reverse... No matter how I chance the values I just can't make the car run *forwards*. What I don't get is why does the Position X work the same with positive and negative value? Shouldn't positive value make the car move forwards and negative backwards?

What am I not understanding here? Help please!

Make the Curve Data Source start at 0 and end at -50 if the car is running in the opposite direction.

I assume you have it local. So to my understanding you set start to 0 and end at 50 in the linear curve. However I believe you should reverse those numbers. Have start at 0 and end at -50.

Make the Curve Data Source start at 0 and end at -50 if the car is running in the opposite direction.

aww beat me to the punch.
