Better Flight

Post by rcdraco »

Me and Overkill were talking about having planes need to take off, so that VTOL's serve some type of purpose over standard airplanes.

I'm guessing there are engine issues and such, but I want some comments about this.

If I knew what the heck that said, I'd have a clue! I'm guessing that it should be really really heavy over a set time at a set distance from the ground for anytime it's down there, but not checked constantly.

Wait, that's not right. >_<

What it does is take control over the units movement away from the engine. You have to first detect in the LUA gadget when a plane is supposed to start landing or taking off, and then do the appropriate maneuvers by script yourself to make it look nice.
