Code Movers

[ExoCet-NAW]

HI am having some problems setting thes up the way I want to.

I am trying to get a Landing craft to go from A-B with attached 2nd mover (Ramp).

When it reaches the shore, The ramp then lowers and waits for x seconds then closes, the LC then returns to the ship for reinforcments.

Thing is when I change the time settings for the ramp drop (Key 2) it also changes the time on all other keymoves.

thanks for any help.

Are you writing custom code for your mover? If not, you should probably ask this question in the level design forums.

he better should, but in his place i would modify the pawns jump function which doesnt interact all too well with movers of that kind.

thanks I think I have found what I need.
Found this on a website and it looks like it could be very usefull.
I have added it and it seems to be working as I wanted it to.

Yeah, men on boats who jump up tend to find that the boat is no longer underneath them when they come down

Inheriting velocuty would be good or it could be solved with an invisible mesh attached behind the mover (not a blocking volume - moving blocking volumes = world of hurt). Just as long as no bright spark tries throwing a nade off the back of the boat.
