    Ok

    So i have a script that starts the jet locked...and unlocks it when you open the canopy. It works fine in the mission editor - but when you try in multiplayer it doesnt unlock when the canopy opens.

    Here is how i call on the script in the config:

    <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">                 class eventhandlers

                    {

                            init=[_this select 0] exec "\LWZ_sonicjet\events.sqs", init=[_this select 0] exec "\LWZ_sonicjet\unlock.sqs";

                    };

    Here is what the "events.sqs" looks like:

    <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_sonic = _this select 0

    _sonic lock true

    #loopy1

    ?(not alive _sonic):goto "exit"

    _pos = getpos _sonic;

    _x = _pos select 0;

    _y = _pos select 1;

    _z = _pos select 2;

    ?(_sonic animationphase "canopyanimation">0.5):goto "unlock"

    ?(speed _sonic>=50):goto "check"

    ?(_sonic animationphase "canopyanimation"<0.5 and _z<2):goto "lock"

    ~.2

    goto "loopy1"

    #check

    ?(_sonic animationphase "canopyanimation">0):goto "close"

    goto "loopy1"

    #unlock

    _sonic lock false

    ?(speed _sonic>=50):goto "check"

    goto "loopy1"

    #lock

    _sonic lock true

    ?(speed _sonic>=50):goto "check"

    goto "loopy1"

    #close

    _sonic animate ["canopyanimation",0]

    goto "loopy1"

    #exit

    exit

    Ok and here is what the "unlock.sqs" looks like:

    <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_sonic = _this select 0

    #loopy

    ?(speed _sonic>=60):goto "unlock"

    ~.2

    goto "loopy"

    #unlock

    _sonic lock false

    goto "loopy"

    Ok so basically the "events.sqs" locks the jet up to start with...cuz it starts with the canopy shut. Then it checks to see if the canopy is opening...if so it unlocks....checks to see if its goin faster than 50 - if so is shuts the canopy......and checks to see if the canopy is shut/plane on the ground - if so it locks it again.     And the "unlock.sqs" checks to see if the jet is goin faster than 60 (assumed flight)..if so it unlocks - that way you can still eject.

    But like i said everything works fine in the mission editor...but as soon as i connect with someone else and try in MP the jet just stays locked - any ideas guys? You time is much appriciated!

    hey thanks for the comments bratz - those tracer defines will probably be usefull

    in regards to Q#3 - ive defined the points ("rocketa") that the custom unguided missiles should shoot out of - but it seems that when i use the customs ones they just shoot out of the middle of the jet, and then the custom guided ones on the wing dont dissapear after being shot - if i only use the custom wings rockets and use stock ofp pod rockets everything works fine...

    also on Q#1 - ive defined the four necessary points to have two headlights - but only one shows up....are you supposed to be able to have more than one on a jet...or is it a limitation...or is there something else you have to do for jets?

    K, ive got a few questions about plane classes...

    ------

    1. Can you have more than one spotlight on one? - (I cant seem to...)

    ------

    2. Can the tracers come out of more than one position...or only from the middle, also can you remove tracers? - (mine seems to be only coming from the middle even though ive defined differently.)

    ------

    3. How do you define the LGB in the config...ive not been able to access any examples..*

    ------

    4. I know that it is limited on custom rocket .p3d models - but thats only for ones that are immediately visible right? Such as...can you have one type showing up on the wing and one type to be shot from pods? (When i try to define more than one rocket model the pod ones shoot from the middle of the plane and the wing ones dont dissapear when shot.)

    ------

    5. Lights, such as the green,red and white safety ones...how do you make them draw in above the vehicles poly's? (Mine always seem to dissapear behind the vehicle.)

    ------

    Ive searched this and other forums very much...but havent found answers yet...in the mean time ill search many more pbos...but time is an issue here so any help is much appreciated!

    *Edit - Ive figured out #3 now..havent tested if the laser lock works but im just happy to have bombs now!...any input still welcome though*

    I had a silimlar prob with my vehicles bouncing just the other day...i found out that you need to make sure that the wheels in the geo lod arent too detailed, too much detail can be too much for the engine to handle. Just an idea...good luck wink.gif

    I have a boat with a prop...and i was hoping to have it spin the way props spin on a heli. At the moment I just have it set as a "radar" so it spins...but just not the way id really like it to.

    I ve heard of using eventhandler "engine" somehow, to trigger it to start when the engine starts...but im not sure exactly how it works. Could someone explain this to me? Or give an example code?  That would be sweet...and thanks in advance!

    Earthviewer - "3-D Globe/Satellite Viewer" - Program

    Im sure a lot of you may already know about this program (Earthviewer). I had a chance to try it for a while (you get a 30 day trial) and thought it was pretty sweet. Its a program that lets you look a satellite photos all put together to make a "3-d globe". It seems to be a little limited however on what you can see (some areas are blacked out)..and im not sure how up to date the photos are but its very cool anyways. The link takes you to where you can download it. I also thought this may be good for you FallenPaladin...since you wanted photos from all around the world.

    I actually do remember that thread....the reason I think I still do is because of just how much detail he actually went into on it. Yeah...that was real messed up...but also somehow funny.

    I doubt you could get away with a posting something like that nowadays....then again.....I doubt this one will last that long either...hehe

    Is there a size limit on your personal photo(since it will only effect people who go out of their way to see it)? Not that its that big of a deal...I just figured I'd completely customize my stuff since this is really the only public forum I use.

    Hey Denior...

    I was just wondering... Did the AIBO have any trouble with running into any other obstacles (besides the post-its, hehe), because from what ive learned it doesnt have perhipheral vision (unlike sony's newest creation)...so it should see everything flat. Also...its come down in price quite a bit...was wondering if its something worth owning...

    Is there any technological era that you would like us to go back to or are you advocating that we should be animals living in the forrest?<span id='postcolor'>

    Denoir...that was exactly what I was thinking. hehe

    Without any technology...we would just be a bunch of naked animals. Using a leaf to cover yourself could even be considered technolgy....unless it just happened to fall there...in which case I guess that would be natural.

    FoNeKiLL....this might work :

    Where you have "db+10"   .... Try putting something like "db-40"

    A volume of +10 might be too loud and you can hear it from farther distances. I'm pretty sure that ive seen -40 work. Let me know.

    Otherwise...if its not working at all as a "sound"....then all I can think of is making sure the file is saved as "mono" instead of "stereo".

    Oh...and I figured I could ask a question here since we are on the subject of sounds and music.

    Has anyone found a way to stop a sound/music file in the middle of playing. So that way you could have say a radio, with actions that have you pick from a few different songs, and instead of the songs overlaying each other when you click on them...it would stop the previous song and start the new one you selected.

    ICEFIRE...

    Just using thier innovation...and not technology huh?  I was under the impression that technology was innovation.

    That tool you talk of from the past, that was technolgy. Apparantly the best of that time. I'm sure there were people of that time acting like you saying that working on the brain was work of the devil and you should just let things play out without the use of "technology". Things ARE different now you are right....its called evolving.

    OK...

    This is the last time i'll bring this out again. This is just really starting to bug me now....not because having an overview picture is really all that necessary...but because I really want to know whats wrong with what i'm doing.

    Again...here is my overview html and my test overview picture:

    MY OVERVIEW

    I know that someone out there has to know what to do here. No one has said that it all looks correct yet,  so there has to be something...I've tried what Animal_Mother told me to and that didnt have any effect.

    Please, if someone could do me a favor and download my overview (above), and tell me if it worked or not, and if not....what I should be doing differently. This just isnt making any sense to me.

    If I dont get any response I promise to leave this one alone. I'll just have to skip the overview pic and have less than perfect missions.  confused.gif

    No technology at the parties....was there no music...no tv...did you not drive there in a car, that also had a cd player...and these baseball cards...were they hand crafted?

    Anyways...listen..im not tying to piss you off here and get in some scuff. We just have different views and thats all there is to it...

    And by the way....no I don't spend all of my time on the computer. Due to current money issues my main hobby right now is work sadly. I think most of my friends are pissed at me since I dont have much time to do anything because of it. It sucks. But, I might note here...that we joined this forum around the same time...yet you outpost me by like ten times....   wink.gif

    I'm just curious, Icefire.....If the world was the way you wanted it, without the advancements we have come to, what would you suggest everyone do to not go insane. We obviously couldnt invent much to pass time...that would eventually lead to what we know now...like evil computers and devilish toaster ovens...  wow.gif

    I can understand if you had said "an a-bomb represents what technology is all about - and we should be working against it"....cause that can be considered a very bad thing....but robots??

    And also.....life without technology....how boring!!

    I did actually try that before like I was saying (w/o the <p>) but I had no luck...same result as before. Plus...im confused...all of the examples ive seen have pagebreaks.

    Here is the actual Overview file and picture I cant get to work. SAMPLE OVERVIEW Go ahead and download it if you want. If you do...try it the way it is first before editing it...just to see if its my game or not.

    Thanks for all the patience on such a burnt out question.

    The DBPowerAmp works just fine...but I suggest getting Wavesurfer http://www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer/download.html

    The only reason I suggest it...because PowerAmp is one of those prog's that likes to take over your comp...changing icons, showing in sys tray, adding tons of shortcuts, etc....I know you can change all that back but its just kinda annoying. In my opinion Wavesurfer is much easier to work with...but thats just me.
