Hi, Sorry for this dumb question but it has me stumped. I know how to create a path and using the actors.wdl patrol path function my entity walks the path. However, when I raise and lower the hight of my path in different areas my entity does not raise or lower with the path. I know this is so simple but I just dont know how to get movement on paths to follow up and down. Like my entity to actual stick to the path. Thanks for any help.

Your player is the human or something? If yes... gravity keeps him on the ground so he will be always on the ground.
If this is a airplane then use vec_to_angle(my.pan,node.pos) and the ship will look at the node and then move him with c_move;

Thanks for the help. Is there a premade script that would have the vect to angle and the c_move that you mention? Since I am very new to scripting a premade script would really help me get started. One final question, if I REMOVED the gravity from my character would I then be able to have him go up and down the paths? Thanks again ....

I have the same question.
So will it look something like this?

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
action duck_fly
{
while(1)
{
wait(1);
c_move(me,vector(5 * time, 0, 0),nullvector,IGNORE_YOU|GLIDE);
if(key_l)
{
vec_to_angle(my.pan,node.pos);
}
}
}

If this is right? where would one insert this code into the aiDumBiped.wdl template so that you would have an animated model following a path in the air that can be shot. Like birds for instance

Thanks so far for your help. I tried pasting this in several different spots in aiDumBided.wdl but keep getting errors. I feel I almost have the solution!

action duck_fly
{
while(1)
{
wait(1);
c_move(me,vector(5 * time, 0, 0),nullvector,IGNORE_YOU|GLIDE);
if(key_l)
{
vec_to_angle(my.pan,node.pos);
}
}
}

Well Im not sure that code is entirely accurate. that's why I asked if that's what it should look like. Did you try eliminating the gravity? I did. It gets the actor off the ground and on to the path thats placed in the air but it still won't follow nodes up or down. It's close enough for ducks flying level but probably won't help you any.

try this site for more clues path tutorials

And let me know if you figure it out

Well I tried all that you have tried and got to where you are at. This is such a simple thing. Many people are programming moving planes, birds etc on paths in to gamestudio. Wonder why Iam having such a heck of a tme finding info on this. Will keep working at it. .... Thanks ...

How did you turn gravity off

I went into the bipedpy01 template and hcnaged var bipedphy01_gravity to 0

Create your own path code. Follow the tutorials I have on NITROs site. If you run into problems pm me. If I remember right, I did one of the last path finding tutorials on bats or planes.. cant remember. Either way, try them out.

If you would like a certain answer to your problem, please paste your script.
