Two script questions

Postby Testrie » Fri Aug 18, 2006 10:28 pm

1) Is it possible with a normal script to move the camera out of the sphere like in the outro? (i mean have it move farther than just camglobalworldfocus)

2) Is it possible to start a bootloader from a script?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the answer to both of your questions is no.

I wish.

Most buildings stay 'online' when they go online, such as SafeAreas. Control Towers can be reprogrammed to go 'red' again though, by Team 1 Engineers (Though if they are an Objective, it stays completed regardless, IIRC). Powerstations can be activated/deactivated, but AFAIK, they don't employ online/offline status. I can't think of any exceptions at the moment, if there are any.

You could employ multiple mission files to simulate the effect, but that's getting way complicated, and might not a good idea for your first mod (unless you're willing to put 8 months into it like xander did).

I think i'll just... leave it the way it is and try not to draw attention to the particular building.
