Hi, I was wondering today, could things such as air strikes and maybe things like 'call in units' be made into FPS Creator by scripts?

I don't know anything about scripting, but perhaps you could have a script, attached with an item as its default script, that when the player uses it, it has a command that is ' plractivate= X ' the X being an entity that you call in, such as a plane, that spawns at the border of your map, has physics turned off so it 'flies'. It could have a way point assigned to it that is automatically made when a hud appears where you click on a location that will be 'bombed' when the script is activated, and the plane flies over, 'bombs it' and flies towards the other side of the map and disappear.

I know it seems naive, but comments and criticism help.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Yes it could.
Also this should belong in scripts but whatever.

you would (roughly)

place your plane and assign the script follownorotate.fpi to it
set up to point waypoint trecthing across the map
make a triggerzone that uses activateifused.fpi
set the ifused box to plane (entity name)
somewhow set the plane to "die" a certain time after it spawns via scripting

Thant should work

Its possible, but the click and bomb part won't... Since FPSC does not support where you click on a certain HUD, and you can't convert it to a mini-Map and coordinates.

If you modify the source you could do this, and add some fanct effects into it.

Cool, thanks.

I have never tried learning to mod or learning to script but I will when I have time and when I do I will mod it so that it works.

But in the mean time, maybe this could be included in one of the mods such as Plystire's mod?

That would be great.

Thanks.
