Re: [Flightgear-devel] AI for Ground Units
Right, that's exactly what I mean. I actually want to control certain ground items via a network interface. Dave suggested looking at the multiplayer model, which I'm about to do.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] AI for Ground Units
Found it. In modelmgr.hxx: /** * A dynamically-placed model using properties. * * The model manager uses the property nodes to update the model's * position and orientation; any of the property node pointers may * be set to zero to avoid update. Normally, a caller should * load the model by instantiating SGModelPlacement with the path * to the model or its XML wrapper, then assign any relevant * property node pointers. * * @see SGModelPlacement * @see FGModelMgr#add_instance */ On 6/17/05, Erik Hofman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Drew wrote: Is there an existing interface to allow non-ownship objects to be positioned using the propery system?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] AI for Ground Units
Is there an existing interface to allow non-ownship objects to be positioned using the propery system? If there's an easy way to specify lat, long, alt, roll, pitch, and heading, that would be really helpful.

It's an AI acenario file for my OV-10 simulator that puts about 45 AI objects around the Ramstein area. Some of the AI objects are static, four tanks and about 12 city signs. You'll need the CVS version of FlightGear to invoke these static objects, or you can make static objects out of ships if you have an earlier version. I just read the documentation on AI models, and it doesn't seem like any of the AI types tie models to properties. I'm not sure what your question is.
