Need help to shift shine...

[Mj]

I have a corona, with a $targetname of: shine1

I am trying to get it to loop around 12 splinepaths

shinepath >> t1 >> t2 >> t3 >>ect. ect. to t11 >> shinepath

[>> = target]

I am using:

shine:

$shine1 moveto $shinepath 200 200

end

It comes up with:

moveto applied to NULL listener... i guess it means it cannot find my shine1?

If anyone could 'shine' a little light on the situation, it would be much appreciated

Make your corona a shiny script_model

[Mj]

Doh, I'm so silly

Yay now i get moving shines! :D:D

[Mj]

Many hmmmmz... Didnt work... but did have the effect of making all my other coranas dissapear

Ahh well, I think i'll proceed shineless

[jv_map]

Don't give up so soon do you still get that same error message?

[Mj]

No errors at all, just a lack of coronas apart from the 'scripted' one, which doesnt move

I tried to spawn one in using script, but the same corona dissapearing effect happened

[bdbodger]

did you try $shine1 followpath $shinepath

[Mj]

I will try that now

[Mj]

no, nothing

I dont suppose someone could make me a quick thing with a corona loopin around a number of splines?

You can also try "$shine1 flypath $shinepath". I have not had much luck moving coronas because they look different if the angle they are viewed is changed.

Tried flypath allready

Looks like this shine is a no-go

Heheh, coronas are down right mongrels and thats a fact.
Try this method, it's much easier i think.

Code: Select all

local.brush = spawn script_object
local.brush.origin = ( $shine1.origin )
local.brush.angles = ( $shine1.angles )
local.brush setsize ( -10 -10 -10 ) ( 10 10 10 )
local.brush notsolid
local.brush targetname "shine_vehicle"

$shine1 bind $shine_vehicle

$shine_vehicle followpath $shinepath

Grassy, hope that works for ya.

Thanks alot, i'll give it a go

[Grassy]

Well MJ ... did it work?

[Mj]

Nope

I must be doing something wrong somewhere...
