Turn it into a prop and then let's talk.
what turn it prop? Vehicle?

Qua? The words you wrote don't make sense in that or any order. At least to me. What I was saying was that if you are animating, as I suspect, a vehicle .odf (rep_fly_gunship), it won't animate. You might need to create a new .odf (e.g. rep_prop_gunship.odf), something like:

[GameObjectClass]

ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "REP_LA_AT_Gunship.msh"

[Properties]

GeometryName = "REP_LA_AT_Gunship"

FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"

However, I'm not entirely sure. Everything else looks set up correctly, though.

my ZE-options

rep_fly_gunship options:

[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "prop
GeometryName = "REP_LA_AT_Gunship.msh"

[Properties]
FLYERSECTION = "BODY"

ReserveOneForPlayer = "0"

VehicleType = "transport"
MapTexture = "gunship_icon"
HealthTexture = "HUD_rep_gunship_icon"
MapScale = 2.0

GeometryName = "REP_LA_AT_Gunship"
//FirstPerson = "REP\repgunsh;rep_1st_cockpit_gunship"
FirstPersonFOV = "60"
CockpitTension = "12"
ThirdPersonFOV = "55"

doesn`t work

Don't keep all that junk from the vehicle .odf. Delete everything in the old .odf (or create a new one) and copy and paste what I wrote into the .odf.

Maveritchell
thx. I`ll try.

I have stupid problem. I created new rep_prop_gunship odf-file:

[GameObjectClass]

ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "REP_LA_AT_Gunship.msh"

[Properties]

GeometryName = "REP_LA_AT_Gunship"

//DestroyedGeometryName = "com_item_weaponrecharge_dst"
ExplosionName = "rep_fly_gunship_exp"
MaxHealth = 10

FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"

this is odf ingame...

how fix it?

Try changing the classlabel in the gunship ODF to:
ClassLabel = "armedbuilding"

The class label armedbuilding supports objects with bones, but these might work also:
animatedbuilding
animatedprop
armedbuildingdynamic

okay...

and one question.
How to make a scripted turret that shoot once to the marked point?

I can't say that I've tried ZE animating any of those types of objects, but I know the game has problems animating dynamic objects like doors. Can animated objects themselves be animated, then?

working. Thx)

How to make an animated gunship (flyer, path follower) that fires? I heared something about PilotType = "self"...

YankFan1950 · Post by **YankFan1950** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 3:26 pm

yeah you sorta make it into an auto turret and animate it so it goes close enough to the iunits that is fires.

Snork · Post by **Snork** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 3:26 pm

Hey people. Did any of you read my Animatedprops Tut? Well, In combination of this, and my Animatedprops, I can create loads of new stuff!!!! Right now I just made a patroling gamorrean gaurd!

I could do that no problem. In fact thats a great idea, create a fleet of moving auto turret ships.

So, I created new odf.file rep_prop_gunship.odf
