Well, me and probaly some other people have this question, i want to create a mine cart that follows a track, and it is a vehicle. i thought you might be able to make it go along Nodes until it hits the last one, then you have to go backwards.
I just dont know how to make it a follow the nodes when you go foward, or backward.

PS. i dont want it to go off track at all.
Most likely change the speed to a negative. How would you be implementing it?
Changing the speed to a negative number will NOT make an object go backwards, afaik.

You could do this:
Create a node path.
Add a timer to the mine cart script that checks if the forward/backward buttons are pressed.
If they are not, stop the mine cart.
If they are, start (or resume) the node walk.
And that's it... shouldn't be that hard to do.
Thanks bink! Smile
Actually, I was going to ask that too. I am thinking about a level like that, except a vehicle on a road, instead of a mine cart. Of course, It would be a closed track, so you couldn't actually drive the car, just use the turret.

Anyone remember the mine car level in MOF: Frontline? :D
Damn, that was the funnest level of the game.
