serious modders: Shooting Stars question

GoldenRivet · 07-20-08, 04:54 PM

here is a series of questions for you modders in the know.

1. Is it possible to classify an aircraft as an "environmental object"?

2. if Yes... Is it possible to create a model for an aircraft classified as an environmental object wherein the model represents a small point of white light with a small tail? (perhaps like a running light seen on some ships in GWX)

3. If Yes... is it possible to provide this small, white light a random spawning point and waypoints to make it jet across the sky at very high velocity? perhaps 500 knots or more? (i dont know what the fastest speed can be)

if the answer to these three questions is "yes" then you can surely see where im going with this.

random spawn points for small comet like environmental "aircraft" which will streak in straight line trajectories at high speed across the sky so that they may resemble shooting stars.

:hmm:
