Space shooter sim 3D
Simple 3D space simulation. Control a spacecraft and fly around in 3 dimensions.
- Use W to accelerate in the direction the spacecraft is facing, and
- S to accelerate in the opposite direciton.
- Move up and down with the X and Z keys,
- use A and D to turn left and right.
- Press Space to fire your dual laser cannons.
- Click anywhere on the ground to add objects which will exert a gravitational pull on your spacecraft.
- Use the middle mouse button / mouse wheel to look around.
You can easily switch between 3rd and 1st person view by changing the local 'distance' variable in SetFPCamToUnit function. The triggers are a bit of a mess since I've messed around a lot experimenting with them, but hopefully the results will be useful to someone. :)
I dont know if you have already thought of this, but you might consider adding a decay or timed life on the green arrows that are left in your trail as you move around. They get a little tiresome to look at. If you already are going to do something about it than forget I said anything. overall Nice concept though.
Absolutely brilliant.
Lower turning speed a little might make it more realistic feeling, but i don't think many people have much experience flying in space. I would imagine it would be something like this, kinda strange if you're use to seeing flight under gravity and air friction. I was planning on making something like this, but more like a flight sim on earth.
I look forward to your next work.
Few triggers! OmG! How about joystick support? Map borders are dangerous.
This is genius! I love what you've done here. would you mind if i try using this in a future map i plan on making?
