PLane Flyby

[Lone_Rebel]

Hey I wanna have bombers fly over my map periodically. I have it so that the bomber flies over when youre in a certain area, but I want to know how to get it to fly over automatically and like every 30-60 seconds.

Post your script.

[Lone_Rebel]

umm there isnt one, I follow Nemesis's Plane tutorial and it doesnt call for a script http://users.1st.net/kimberly/Tutorial/plane.htm

There is a script there. You'll need one, especially if you want to run it every so often.

hmm the real question is what is the command to have the plane fly to a certain waypoint isnt it? then you just set it to rethread and put a wait # at the beginning of the thread.

here is an example of a plane bombing that i made for the crossroads. i didn't finish it yet, but this should help you.

plane:

I use a different syntax for the nodes

spawn info_splinepath "targetname" "pl1"

I don't know if spawning a script_object will have the same effect as just spawning a info_splinepath . I mean with a info_splinepath you can set the angles of the plane at each of the nodes and the plane will use the angles .

I am not saying your script does not work just wondering if it works the way you intended .
