[Question] Transport object

[ladiszlai]

Is it possible to make a Custom tranport objects?

(for example, zeppelins,ships)

if this possible which dbc-s i need to use
I dont know anybody do this before

[Makpptfox]

Yes it is.

I have planned to work on this asap, but don't really got the time.

But I'm pretty sure you can make this work with the taxis related DBC and the Map DBC and some modifications in the DB.

Ok thank you for the answer, i think in the DB i need to use the transports row.

[Makpptfox]

Yes you have to.

(Trinity in my case.)

For the DBC :

Enjoy.

Thank You

And what about the Transport DBCs?
Because the elevators can be found in the TransportAnimation

[Makpptfox]

If you look at http://wowdev.wiki/index.php?tit ... mation.dbc i think you could found what you need.

I was in first helping you fort Zepp and Boat transports because I had somes thinkings on them already, but I never looked after elevators before to be franc. (I usually use teleport dummies.)

For gameobject transport like elevator or deeprun tram, you have to edit dbcs :

-TransportAnimation : for moving objects from A to B using the 3 coordinates x y z, and with time notion (define the speed of your transport)

-TransportRotation : Rotate the gameobject during his travel, you can rotate in the 3 directions (yaw pitch roll)
This dbc is really pain, maybe the most difficult dbc i've ever seen xD

2 years ago, i've made this :


For elevators or simple movement, it's not that hard.
But if you want to do something complex with movement,rotation and velocity... It's really really hard, you must be really good in mathematics

Impressive.

The internal Blizzard development tools will handle the calculation of these values, the person making the transport would not need to actually figure out the values themselves. Same with cinematic camera's positions, rolls, and targets.

You can use the WoW Machinima Tool to retrieve the values for a cinematic camera path, they did the maths. A program could be written to do the same for transports - hell, it might even be the same values. I am bad at maths.

Thanks to everyone for the answers ,

Makpptfox What i need to do in the Map.dbc?

That's awesome. x)

For the configuration of Yaw Pitch and Roll I personnaly use this schem, I puush it for you ladiszlai in case you need it.

Thanks to everyone for the answers ,

Makpptfox What i need to do in the Map.dbc?

Just look at the map ID 582, it's litterally the same for any new boat transport. (You can also look at 594 if you want a easy zepp transport, it's the one in the Fjord for a quest.)

[ladiszlai]

Ok thank you , now i made a transport object by replacing the Og to thunder Bluff transport ( In the Transports table) But the my problem is that when i spawn this object i can't see this object. It is possible that i spawn the object to wrong coordinate ? Or anything ?

[ladiszlai]

i fixed now

[ladiszlai]

If the people want , i can make a tutorial for how can make a new transporter.
