Title: How would you do this?
Post by: seanver on 04 Nov 2002, 16:25:43

What waypoing or thing would you do to make a chopper act like if it was searching for something? I mean it would go over some point over and over, but not stay just hovering.

Easiest way I can think of is to give the chopper a couple of seek and destroy waypoints over the general area you want it to be, and a cycle waypoint so it switches between them.

Hmmmmm that about the cycle waypoint. Well I want it to wait at a waypoing till a condition is met. Then I want it to make what I've said. But perhaps with the cycle waypoint it would return to the first waypoint again, wouldn't it?

No - Cycle waypoint make units go to the nearest waypoint in their waypoint path. So if you place the cycle waypoint next to the first seek and destroy waypoint it should work fine.
