Can you make a city with FPSC?

Can’t you make city by making one large room with a sky and invisible walls or buildings surrounding the edge of the walls? But you wouldn’t be able to do this if there aren’t any building models. Witch would stink

Technically you could - to make it real you'd need a lot of patience to place all those windows

A grid style city should be possible, you could even have kirbs, and all the necessary 'furniture' (things like burnt out cars for instance will be supplied with FPSC). I'm not sure if you could have moving vehicles or pedestrians though.

Is there a prefab editor built in so that you could build a tall cube and place windows/doors on it and save it as a building?

Does the program have any built in primitives anywhere - in the level editor, in prefab editor, etc.?

So no script support yet for moving objects around? (i.e. half-life rail cars)

Thanks guys!

You could have cars or pedestrians, you jsut neef the animated models, and some good programming added to it. What I usualy do is i create invisible objects, that are arrows basically, And there is about 20 different objects with different actions. Let's say I put one that when a pedestrian goes on collision with it, the pedestrian goes left or right. When the pedestrian goes on collision with it, he randomly chooses left or right that he can go to, which makes it look like "AI", and the arrow invisible object dissapears for a while so other pedestrians do not get affected by it and to make it look more advanced . Though I never tried this in FPSC so not sure if this could work in it.

O.k. Animecivil what we are trying to do is determine what you can do *WITH* FPSC. We get that you can program anything you like.

Really many of us want to know what the program will do by itself. If I want to program something then sure I'll look to Darkbasic or some other programming language, but I prefer to stick with what FPSC will allow me to do with internal scripting and commands.

Animecivil is trying to determine if he can do the same things with the scripting.

While trying to guess what the program can do, I don't think that will do us any good. We will have to wait for it to actually come out to see what it can really do.
