Welcome to the first Monthly Script Challenge. Each Month I will set a challenge for gifted Leadwerkers to solve. I will provide a map as a starting point. Once you have perfected your script you re-post your map to this thread. At the end of the month I will go through all the entries and judge the winner. I will then place the winning map on the Workshop so others can learn from them. Rules. Entries must be your own work. Entries must be submitted before the end of the month ( November). Any assets you use must be your own or Royalty free. The map that you submit can be used by others for commercial use. Have fun. November Challenge Leadwerks terrain maps can cover as much as 16 square kms. We need a way for the player to be able to cover this quickly. So your challenge for this month is a Jetpack script. Jetpacks have been used in games such as Planetside 2, Tribes ascend and Section 8. The map I have provided is very simple. Two platforms and a FPS player prefab. Your Jetpack should be powerful enough for the player to reach the second platform. You should also include fuel into your script and a way for the player to refuel. To help I've included 4 sound effects. Three Jetpack sounds and one refueling sound. Even if you can't complete your script you still get to keep these to use in your own projects. The November Map. How you implement your script is up to you. You can alter the FPS player script or add a separate script. Remember the winning script should not only solve the problem but should also have comprehensive comments within the script so that new users can learn from your script. Prize Currently I have no prize to give. Your reward will be admiration of your fellow Leadwerkers and being the first winner of the Monthly Script Challenge. If any person or company would like to donate or sponsor the Challenge you can contact me on this forum. If you have any ideas or thoughts on the Challenge please feel free to comment. This is the first time I've run anything like this and I want it to be successful and useful to the community. Looking forward to your submissions.
