Title: Docker ships hie through dockee
Post by: Darkhill on April 01, 2005, 10:16:25 am

I made a cargo container t'figure out th'UV mappin' stuff.  I used POF Constructor an' ripped th'stats out o' one o' th'games containers.  In game ships will dock with it but instead o' comin' from th'top, they come from th'bottom through th'model t'the dock point.  I imagine its th'model path t'that dockin' point but I don't see how t'edit anythin' other then creating/removin' points.

Oh yeah, I have made the two points a meter apart.  And in the model viewer and Fred both points point upward.

It means the path associated with the dock is wrong.  You'll need to define a new one.

Yep. Dockpoints wouldn't affect the direction a ship comes in at. That's the job of the path.

i.e. if you have a dock point(s) at 0,10,0 with normal 0,1,0; you'd want - for example - a path with vertex one at (say) 0, 15, 0, and then perhaps at 0,20,-5 (although you only really need one point AFAIK, the others are for guidance as collision detection seems to be turned off between the docking ships until they actually dock).

I think I got it, maybe, but I can't figure it out for this godforsaken pirate talk.  I'll check this out with this goes away.
