Enter Vehicle

Overview

• Node Name: Enter Vehicle
• Category: dynamic_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/vehicle/enterVehicle.lua

Makes the player enter a vehicle and sets the camera to the game camera. Works with the walk mode system (gameplay_walk) to transition from on-foot to in-vehicle.

How It Works

1. The node resolves the target vehicle from vehId pin or defaults to getPlayerVehicle(0).
2. If a valid vehicle is found, it calls gameplay_walk.getInVehicle(veh) to handle the enter-vehicle transition (including exiting walk mode if active).
3. After entering, commands.setGameCamera() switches to the standard game camera (orbit/chase).
4. Supports dynamic_instant category - can run once or repeat based on the node's dynamic mode setting.

Usage Example

-- In a flowgraph:
-- [Spawn Vehicle] → vehId → [Enter Vehicle] → [Continue]

-- Programmatic equivalent:
local veh = scenetree.findObjectById(vehId)
if veh then
  gameplay_walk.getInVehicle(veh)
  commands.setGameCamera()
end

Key Dependencies

• gameplay_walk.getInVehicle() - handles the player entering a vehicle from walk mode
• commands.setGameCamera() - switches to the default game camera
• gameplay_walk - listed as a dependency; must be loaded
