Force flyer to take off?

In my campaign, my character automatically enters a flyer when the map starts. Is it possible to have my ship take off automatically once he enters his ship?

Mhh, I don't think so.
You could code the flyer as a turret and animate it in ZE. The player can shoot from the moving flyer-turret but would never be able to control it then.

Well, you could try fooling around with EntityFlyerInitAsLanded and EntityFlyerInitAsFlying. I think that might be how Mav did his landing AI, though I could be wrong. Examples of the use of these functions are in the Kamino campaign lua.

What you can do depends upon what your character is supposed to be at this point a pilot or a passenger. If he is a passenger then you could try using ZE animation to move it from point A to point B land it then he gets out. You would need the commands or trigger to start the animation, sorry not super lua savvy.

Oh, yeah, if he's a passenger then ZE animations work better. Something like:

Code: Select all

takeoff = OnCharacterEnterVehicle(
function(character, vehicle)
PlayAnimation("animationgroup")
end
)
