Animating something....

[deadsoldier 0]

How can i have something to animate..to move from one place to another if speed is above say 100 kph. and when its below 100 it goes back to its original place?

cheers

I'd also like to know if it is possible to make a event happen when a speed is reached! But I want it for sound effects.

Ok guys i think i have cracked it. I have a helo that has retracting undercarriage which works with both the player and the ai, based on altitude and speed, also working on a gear up warning sound based on altitude when the gear is still up.

The code's pretty messy at the moment so i will post it either on my website or here.

I have sucessfully done this for our VTOLS. It's great because you include the scripts with the addon, and use the eventhandler "init" to run them. These scripts toggle folding wings / undercarriage as the vehicle lands / takes off.

Yes, vtol works good too. I can magine this will look really cool on some of the Star Wars based addons as well.

Ok I'm in the process of writing a couple of tutorials on this subject as I think it will be easier to explain with pics than without.

Here's a pic of the A4 with animated canopy. Which opens and closes automatically depending upon the speed of the aircraft.

At the moment I'm working on making a player operated version so that the player has control over the canopy under getin, getout and eject conditions. I will keep you posted as to when the pages are uploaded to my site.

Cheers

As promised: The tutorial for the animating cockpit canopy has been posted on my site at:DC3D Computer Game Modelling Zone.

Also at the same address is a tutorial to add flashing navigational lights that also appear during the day as well as at night.

Both tutorials are as is. Any feedback/questions to Colonel_Klink

Thanks Colonel_Klink, great tutorials indeed !

I want to thank you for sharing this, because there are many things that some people know how to do it and they don´t tell it...

No problem. I think some people forget that this is a community. Without the sharing of information the community will die.. sad, but very true.

Yes and it's gotten very bad lately. There's alot of modeling and config file editing knowledge out there that just isn't being posted.
