Well, we don't currently have that code. The idea of using movers never appeals to me that much. I'd think this would be better done by scripting. Instead of having to put movers all over the place, a script with some basic waypoints could be done (move to x1,y1. Then move to x2,y2, etc) For most routes, you'd probably only need half a dozen or so waypoints (the script in question would just go in straight lines). A script also has the advantage it could have some basic logic to try to get around obstacles. If you just use movers, all it takes is one player to park something along the line of movers and you would get all the transports piling up. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
