pwhirl Member Posts: 1017 From:Mission, BC, Canada Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-28-2001 01:42 AM My train level is basically done, the only problem is the jeeps that come up to the train and ninja's jump off, the ninjas won't jump. What I know: As long as the ninja is on the jeep it will continue to move forward. If the ninja is killed the jeep slows and loses speed like in TRLR. AI is not used. 2 possibilities: Trigger settings or ninja OCB. So I'm stumped, I need some way to get the ninja to jump from the truck. ------------------ Top 5 Favorite sayings: Never give-up! unless the situation is hopeless:) The only thing certain in life is uncertainty!

I'm new to objects so don't pooh-pooh (or poo-poo or whatever) I'm interested ------------------ Conan the Barbarian IP: Logged
pwhirl Member Posts: 1017 From:Mission, BC, Canada Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-29-2001 03:11 PM Email an expert?! Well what does that make me. I may not make the best levels but I do now the level editor almost inside out. Yes I analyzed the original objects and it is done only by triggers. The ocb is correct, but I can't find if any of the 1-5 buttons are pushed or what trigger settings there are. But they do come up beside the train perfectly, they just don't jump off. ------------------ Top 5 Favorite sayings: Never give-up! unless the situation is hopeless:) The only thing certain in life is uncertainty!

Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 293 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-29-2001 04:11 PM I wondered if it could be that the point at which they're trying to jump off onto the train is beyond their capabilities... i.e. +/- 1 block maybe their AI follow? point is on the train to get them to jump or maybe the trigger is on the ground and they run over it? just grasping at straws here.... ------------------ Conan the Barbarian IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-29-2001 08:29 PM How are you analyzing the original objects? Do you have a project (how did you get it)? If so, I should be able to get complete trigger and object settings. IP: Logged
pwhirl Member Posts: 1017 From:Mission, BC, Canada Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-30-2001 01:13 AM 2 programs, OCB viewer, and TRueView. They don't run over triggers or have any AI. The only to other possiblities are the 1-5 buttons in the ocb or a trigger setting. I tried th NL, D and P buttons but no luck. It's so frustrating when I'm so close. ------------------ Top 5 Favorite sayings: Never give-up! unless the situation is hopeless:) The only thing certain in life is uncertainty!

hteS Member Posts: 387 From: Stockholm, Sweden Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-30-2001 01:45 AM You could place a baddy2 (or baddy1, don't know which are red-robed) on the car or wagon you want the assassin to jump on to, and when the jeep is exactly at the place you want the assassin to jump off, let the flyby snap back to Lara (if she stands on or in a car or wagon where she can't see the assassin jump) and trigger both the assassin and a scary audio track. He will not jump, but you'll think he does. ------------------ I am the Dracula of TRLE!!! IP: Logged
pwhirl Member Posts: 1017 From:Mission, BC, Canada Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-30-2001 01:49 AM Yes but that would spoil the whole jumping onto the train thing. I thought it was one of the best parts. I will figure it out eventually, then I'll look back and kick myself for not figuring it out earlier. Thanks for the idea though. ------------------ Top 5 Favorite sayings: Never give-up! unless the situation is hopeless:) The only thing certain in life is uncertainty! You get what you pay for.

hteS Member Posts: 387 From: Stockholm, Sweden Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 09-30-2001 01:52 AM This may or may not work, but place an AI_follow on the square where you want the assassin to jump off. IP: Logged
pwhirl Member Posts: 1017 From:Mission, BC, Canada Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 09-30-2001 02:00 AM Tried it, with no luck and I know AI isn't used. Trueview displays all objects, and the jeep and the enemy are the only objects on the square. The OCB for the jeep and the baddy must be the same, in this case 101 for both. The baddy is on the jeep. I know it isn't a jeep setting because the jeep is supposed to lose speed and fall back behind the train. When I shoot the baddy off the jeep it falls back. I'm just confused. Any other ideas? ------------------ Top 5 Favorite sayings: Never give-up! unless the situation is hopeless:) The only thing certain in life is uncertainty! You get what you pay for.
