remote control

[vin209]

hey chaps,

thought i remembered this being asked before but try as i might i could find no mention so here goes;

is it possible to have the player character remote control an object in the game?

for instance, the player character stands on a symbol that will enable them to control a model car/boat/plane in a similar fashion to the GTA mini games.

thanks for the help in advance

thanks for the reply,

unfortunately it's not quite what i wanted so maybe i explained it incorrectly and for that i apologise.

the player will stand on a marker (say a big red X) next to which is a toy helicopter. i want the player to be able to control the helicopter while the player character model remains on the big red X. in essence i want some of the player character controls transfered to the toy helicopter.

is it possible in kismet or is this a programming thing?

i did think it might be possible using the toy helicopter as a vehicle but how do i get the player character model to stay on the big red X?

I believe you'd have to switch the controller's pawn for a while to do this.

The function is called Possess.
