I have a couple of questions:

-Is there a way to make an aircraft fly on a certain path?

-Can you make the aircraft start in midair with gunners inside of it?

Thank's.

For the first one- They're called flyer spline paths, read the doc for it (read the whole thing)

Depends on what you actually want for the second. In actuality, I don't believe you can do exactly what you said, but if you want to just have something flying around shooting, then you could rig something. I believe you could just animate objects that consist of a ship and some auto-turrets.

And what doc would that be ???

I bet if you opened the documentation folder it would be pretty obvious, wink.

Well, I read trough the doc. But I'm a bit confused on how you make the aircraft not playable, and how you get it to take off and fly to the spline path. The doc isn't to specific on that point ...

The AI will automatically find the nearest spline path and follow it. You have to name the path "entitypath insertwhaeverhere" in ZE and then copy EXACTLY what you put in ZE into your lua like this The different names are all individual paths. You must name the path "entitypath *" or else it will not work
Put the EnableFlyerPath after Here's my lua for an example

I honestly don't think you need to put them in your .lua (or at the least calling for them is redundant). In my experience, putting them in there generates an unnecessary Sev 3 error in the log and not calling them in your .lua has no effect - as long as they're named "entitypath whatevernamehere" the AI flyers will follow them.

Oh, ok thanks Mav
I thought you needed to (atleast that's what the doc led me to believe)

No, you're right, that's exactly what the doc said to do. I think it's just a mistake (or like I said, maybe a redundant aspect) on the part of the devs.

Ok, that's what I figured . But is there a way you can make the aircraft spawn in middair(like the campaign mission on kamino) so that the human can't fly the aircraft???

No, and those "flyers" in campaign Kamino aren't really flyers, either. They're animated turrets.

Of course you can. Just make them auto piloted and place the vehicle spawns in mid air.

They still have to take off, though, they can't just be spawned flying.

Well thats true, but not a problem. I used that method often.

Well yeah but since they're autopiloted and you can't use them anyway just muck around with TakeOffHeight/Speed/Time so they'll just go straight forward after a second.

Oh and this thread was real useful BTW.

How do you make them auto piloted ???

Put into the ODF

Ok . Does this work with the turrets on the aircraft as well???
