Need help to shift shine...

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

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

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

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.
