Hello,

I want to be able to modify the control within the game so that the user's kart is automatically accelerating from the beginning. Can someone guide me on how I can go on about doing this? Thanks in advance!

Best,
Jason

Hi,

I'm afraid that what you are asking for is not possible at this time without modifying the source code of the game.

I was not sure reading your post whether you wanted to do it via in-game configuration, or via code modifications, so if I misunderstood please calrify and I will help you further

Hi Auria,

I'm looking for pointers on code modification.

Better yet, is there a feature where I can have AI Control to take over for the user?

There are several relevant command line flags; run supertuxkart with --help on the command line. Note particularly the --profile-laps and --demo* flags. As far as having the AI take over input halfway through a race, this is not an option as far as I know.

I was able hack the source code to change the user control to skidding ai control, thank you for the help!
