It would be great if we could create teleporters on our tracks :)

I'd like to make moving track parts like a draw bridge or swing bridge. Or gates that open and close or slide.

You can not move the car or the scenery with the maniascript

It is mainly for variables around all this. It has little impact on the game itself, but more on the rules or local display.

Does it affect the mediatracker?
Or is it affected by the mediatracker?

So, perhaps we could create the ability to read car movements to add new types of stunts?
That might be cool.

we would like to do it in the future, at least

there are other priorities at the moment

and yes, it can be used to write the trigger conditions into MT

A question for my story campaign :D
Can I do something like, when car approaches certain point I say STOP! and do a little cutscene or however you like to call that and after the cutscene, you gain control of the car, but the position of the car is changed, maybe its even moving with some speed and when you get to control it, you already have speed?

no because you can't control the car

maybe later, but it is not done yet

but you can play a ghost and trigger a camera when you want I think

to do your idea, we would need to take the parameters of a ghost and to start the physic from there and say it is the player

I think you can already change the skin of the player by the script, but I don't want to make people disappointed if it is not, so forget what I said :mrgreen:
