Post subject: Sticky ships

I can't for the life of me remember how you get ships to stop dead as soon as you let off the "gas". I want ship X's speed to be about 3000, but as soon as I let off the "gas", I want it to be 0. How do I do this again?

TIA

Set your max speed to something you normally would use. Then set your initial and upgrade speed values to 0. Set afterburner's energy to 0, or close to it, and tell everyone to use SHIFT to move.

that works, but sucks. we really need afriction settings, as in the powerball settings for friction

Yeah that's what I WANT to use, the ball doesn't even move when you let go of it.

Ok, another question. Is there somewhere I could find a bm2 of mines that look like landmines with flags in em? Considering it IS a tank event I'm creating...
That's a little unclear, but it's something like what MERC Ground Warfare has.

Also, I need a bot to warp freq 1 to coords 455 517, and freq 2 to 575 517, what/where/how can I get this accomplished?

TIA

Bots that start people in certain coords have their problems. I know because i almost made a perfect one, just it wasn't able to detect insert warps all to well. Anyways, best to wait on continuum .38 for that one, since it will support starting coords perfectly.

Just remember: When a team starts EXACTLY somewhere, the enemy WILL heavily mine it. Or atleast i would...

Yeah, it's just a one on one dueling battle. Each player starts in a 1/2 ass run down building, and it's a safe zone inside the building.

Any ideas for the mine bm2?

TIA

Best to go and hire someone to make one for you, or get some decent sysops to do your GFX work when you need it.

How about load up UT, fire your translocator, take a screen shot and edit it? Then just change teams to change the colour of the "flag".
