Okay, tell me if this is going too far...but if not, this could be a really fun addition to some people's games, if this is a question that can be answered. As mentioned before in other topics, I am doing a kind of simple, (though it is losing the simplicity by adding things like this, lol) restaurant/fast food type of sim. I wanted there to be a driving portion in the beginning of the game, and possibly at other parts where you have to get around town or get to this restaurant.
What I am wondering is as follows:
1.) As a mini game, I want to be able to make a small chunk of city in a map editor or dungeon editor, from an overhead view, where you need to drive around town. I wanted to see if I could make stoplights, various events that drive around that you can't crash into, and I want to make it so if you run a stoplight, perhaps the police would go after you. Now, I understand perhaps for the lights you could do a timed action script or something similar, where if it is red, the variable would change, and you could have the police be on a page that the condition is the red light variable being activated, and that variable would turn off if it was green, etc. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for this.
2.) Otherwise, if anyone could tell me how to make a game, like an old nes game, where you drive down a stretch of road, and the events(other cars) are just there, and you are forced to be moving down the road at quick speeds, and just dodge the obstacles by either moving up or down on the road from an overhead view, kinda like the old GTAs, and such. If anyone could tell me how to do that...to make it so you have to move down the road (automatically) and you have to move up or down, and if you hit an obstacle, you crash, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance

This seems like it is going to get complicated fast. Anyway, with vehicles there are only a car and truck to choose from so if your wanting to drive around with other cars they will look very similar. If you would want to find ways around this (if you haven't already) I suggest maybe asking Rodak, he is pretty good at stuff like that. The game sounds like it is getting really complicated, but it is a neat idea. Sorry, I coudn't anwser your questions, but I thought I should point out that little detail. I wish you good luck with your game. This sounds like it could be fun.
