You can also do something with human control interceptors--When they attack with carrier have a location that they'll fly into. Make that location teleport them to wherever. Once there they'll attempt to fly back to the carrier but you can probably keep moving them around.

I've witnessed the phenomena, but don't know if you could make the interceptors circle something--unless their carrier was being trigger-moved in bigger circles, then they might change direction to follow it.

Thats sounds much more complicated then just checking the tutorial.

Tutorials do not apply for every instance. You need to mold the tutorial into the way you want it to work.

Yes checking tutorials is easier but that doesn't mean it requires no thinking on the mapmaker's part. Understanding and molding a tutorial may be harder than having other people post solutions.

Oh thats not what i meant. I meant that the idea he suggested sounded like a much more confusing way to obtain the result he desired. I didn't mean that the work would be easy. I meant it would be more organized (most likely) and easIER (maybe).

This is doing exactly what TheDeadOne is talking about with the carriors being moved around in circles. The focus of this is to make designs and not to just have them fly in circles but it is clear that making them fly in cirlcles is pretty possable.

You can also completely control an interceptor by making it patrol somewhere and adding a generic command point. You can completely control it.

If this is what you wanted then PM me or I'll add another post explaining it.

Or you can see the tutorial uses that exact method tongue.gif

You can just make triggers to move the inscriptor and than it should just go around where you choose to trigger it to go.

I think he wants it to FLY in circles.

Wow! That should be a archery game of some sort. One interceptor is red, and they have to shoot it. First person to do so wins. happy.gif

i havnt chked the maps, but from wat i got and thought, u hav location where interceptor will circle or pattern or watever, then have locations 8 directions from main location then just move carrier from one to other after dif amounts of time for desired movement
