The FAQ/Everything You Need Thread Version 2.0 wrote:How to: Custom Flyer Domes

Follow that tutorial except you won't need to actually make your own flyer dome, there is already one called rep_fly_assault_dome so just use that one.

Alternatively (or maybe it's the same, I didn't check), stick these lines from tat2.sky in your sky file:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

SkyObject()

{

	Geometry("rep_fly_assault_DOME");

	NumObjects(2);

	Height(350, 500);

	VelocityZ(30, 50);

	Distance(2500);

	InDirectionFactor(2.5);

}

SkyObject()

{

	Geometry("cis_fly_fedlander_DOME");

	NumObjects(2);

	Height(350, 500);

	VelocityZ(30, 50);

	Distance(2500);

	InDirectionFactor(2.5);

}

SkyObject()

{

	Geometry("all_fly_moncalamari_DOME");

	NumObjects(2);

	Height(350, 500);

	VelocityZ(30, 50);

	Distance(2500);

	InDirectionFactor(2.5);

}

SkyObject()

{

	Geometry("imp_fly_destroyer_DOME");

	NumObjects(2);

	Height(350, 500);

	VelocityZ(30, 50);

	Distance(2500);

	InDirectionFactor(2.5);

}

[/code]

You'll need to copy over the files referenced here from the tat folder as well.

If you see something you like in a stock map, you can always check out its files to see how to do it.

You also need to call the domes from SIDE .lvl files in your map script, I think.

So I did it and it worked but can I do something like in the "Mos Eisley spaceport" map and make ships land and take off?

To do that, you'll need to set up spaceship objects in zeroeditor and give them animations to takeoff and land.

is there a tutorial that you can refer me to?

There's this one on animation,but you'll need to make the animation for the taking off and landing sequence and then use timers in your lua to have them occur at timed intervals.

Sample:

Code: Select all

takeoff = 0
    test = OnTimerElapse(
        function(timer)
            if takeoff == 0 then
                   PlayAnimation("takeoff")
                   takeoff = 1
            elseif takeoff == 1 then
                   PlayAnimation("land")
                   takeoff = 0
            end
            SetTimerValue(testTimer, 60)
            StartTimer(testTimer)
        end,
        testTimer
        )

You could probably use RewindAnimation depending on what you animation looks like.
