spawing planes in the original maps

[cp51]

hey all,

ok, i have been looking around for a good solid tutorial on how i might do this, but i havent really come across one. most of the time people are asking how to either put planes in their own maps, or if they do try and put them in the original maps, someone will give them a piece of the code and then they kinda figure it out somehow and i... cant...

so how exactly do i spawn a flying plane that will fly by every... 2 min or so, and drop a bomb... if you have a mod that adds a plane to one of the maps that would do well also, i should be able to figure it out from there, but i just cant find any...

thanks for any help

maybe you might like to try my global/strafe.scr it spawns a plane into you map that flys a path and strafes . There are keys you can add to the nodes to make the plane bomb at the nodes or turn the guns off . Look at the docs and if you have any questions just post and I will try to answer them . Here is a sample script made by deadeye arrow . Click on my sig to go to my website to get the pak .

hey,

wow, thanks a lot, i got it working. i figured you would reply im glad you did because your design seemed like it had a lot of things going for it, i just couldnt figure it out.

thanks a lot

Just one comment about that script if you turn off the guns like this

local.org11.guns = 0

you don't need to repeat that key at the next node the guns will stay off until you use .guns = 1 and then they will stay on untill you shut them off at another node .

Glad you like the strafe script it makes life a bit easier . I tried to make it as easy to use as I could and still have lots of options .

[cp51]

is there a way i can make more than one plane on a map?

[bdbodger]

yes just repeat the node spawning and use a different set number but too many may be hard on your fps 2 will be ok I think .

local.org14 = spawn info_splinepath "targetname" "strafe_path" // first node must have this targetname
local.org14.origin = ( ?? ?? ?? )
local.org14.angles = (30 118 5)
local.org14.set = 2 //**************
local.org14.planescale = .4
local.org14.speed = .5
local.org14.guns = 0

local.org15 = spawn info_splinepath "targetname" "node14"
local.org15.origin = ( ?? ?? ?? )
local.org15.angles = (45 118 10)
local.org15.set = 2 //******************
local.org15.planescale = .4
local.org15.speed = .5
local.org15.guns = 0
....
....
....
local.org14.target = local.org15
.....

while(1)
{
exec global/strafe.scr::strafe 1
wait 4
exec global/strafe.scr::strafe 2 // *** this is the set number
wait 20
}
end
