The birds!!!

[D.murphy man 0]

Hey peeps,

I have an intresting idea witch ill need your suggestions and ideas on.

A while back i seen a old classic movie,The Birds.Where Birds start attacking humans in huge floks and stuff,it was pretty crap but hey! it was an old horror movie so what you ecspect?

Any way to my point.....

I was thinking,(first time for everything) that it would be pretty cool if i made a mission where the players must try survive against killer birds and stuff a bit like my zombie mission,The Skye Virus.Apart from it be birds not zombies of course.

So i desided to search the forums for somthing on creating birds and a found this handy lil code:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_bird = "seagull" camCreate [Punch of numbers]

Now ill try to see if i can these birds to follow the player(s) (it might be another MP missions again) witch i think should be just a question of Domove commands.

Now for the birds attacking you ill just modifie my zombie script a bit witch hopfully should work.

But i have one last propelm...

How can i script somthing to detect that the bird as been hit by a bullet then delet Vehicle him? because as far as i understand you cannot kill birds.

Thnx,

How about creating invisible targets which are on the birds? you will then be able to detect the targets damage. I am not sure if there are any invisible targets though, you may have to make one your self.

Hmm ill look into it,thnx red.

Seem to run into a proplem    the damn birds dont seem to like the Domove command so now i cant get them to move or follow the player.

This is what i have in a simple .sqs just in my test mission:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">birds = "seagull" camCreate getpos birdcage

#start

Birds domove (getpos bob2)

Goto "birds"

Any suggestions?

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">birds camSetPos getpos bob2

EDIT:

Cheers RED,

Make sure you place Hitchcock himself somewhere in the mission. It was his trademark to always appear in some way in every one of his films, either in person or in a picture.

Lol,Ill see what i can do.All i need is a hitchcock skin

Any way the Invisble tagets dont work the way i want them to They are only destroyed by explosions,and bullets just pass straight throw them.So i tryed finding a small enough target to attach to the bird and not be noticble,and allso destroyble.

Sadly..no luck

So i iver gotta find some very small or invisble,destroyble object OR give every one laws and satchels to destroy the birds with .Any suggestions?

P.S. still no luck with getting the damn bird to turn corners

But id be glad to help on bits if any one els would like to take it of my hands?

Thnx for all the help guys,
