getting out of a vehicle

Question

I have a turret that I want to mount on the side of a ship. When i go up to a computer I want to be able to hit e and the player can take control of it. I have three seperate scripts. the first on goes onto the computer.

var showGUI : boolean; var other : Transform; var controlingturret=false;

function OnMouseEnter() { showGUI = true;

function OnMouseExit() { showGUI = false; }

function OnGUI() { if (showGUI) { GUI.Box(Rect(20, 10, 150, 100), "Press E to Enter"); if (Input.GetButtonDown("Use")){ GameObject.FindWithTag("turret1").GetComponent(TurretControl).enabled=true; GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(which).DoSomething(); controlingturret=true; }

if (controlingturret){ if (Input.GetButtonDown("Use")){ GameObject.FindWithTag("turret1").GetComponent(TurretControl).enabled=false; GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(which).DoSomethingAgain(); controlingturret=false; } }

the second goes onto the player to control the camera selection

var cam1 : Camera; var cam2 : Camera;

 function Start () {
     cam1.enabled=true;
     cam2.enabled = false;

     }

 function DoSomething() {
     cam1.enabled=false;
     cam2.enabled = true;
 }

 function DoSomethingAgain() {

 cam1.enabled=true;
 cam2.enabled=false;

 }

and the third goes onto the turret itself

var horizontalSpeed = 2.0; var verticalSpeed = 2.0; function Start (){ GetComponent(TurretControl).enabled=false; }

function Update () { // Get the mouse delta. This is not in the range -1...1

 var h = horizontalSpeed * Input.GetAxis ("Mouse X");
 var v = verticalSpeed * Input.GetAxis ("Mouse Y");

 transform.Translate (h, 0, v);

}

So far I am able to get into the turret and control it just fine but i'm not able to take control of the player again. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there a more effective way to do it? Anyone got any help? Thanks

Your last bit of code is not in a function. You should create an Update function like this:

function Update()
{
if (controlingturret){
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Use")){
    GameObject.FindWithTag("turret1").GetComponent(TurretControl).enabled=false;
    GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(which).DoSomethingAgain();
    controlingturret=false;
    }
    }
}

It looks like the last block of code in your first script is not inside a function. Remove the '}' just before it.

nope. when i do that it it seems like it just goes straight through and starts the control and then turns it off without ever letting me do anything.
