i like it. how are you calculating your plane turn-around code? go up 50 pixels, animate flip, and reverse course?

It took me about an hour to figure it out, but it was actually pretty easy:

2 attributes: turnLeft & turnRight

2 Hot Zones, left and right. Each had a rule that said:
when overlap or collide with plane, set attribute turnLeft to 1
after 5 seconds, set attribute turnRight to 0

On my plane, I have a timer adjusting velocity every .1 seconds
every .1 seconds
change velocity to 150 at angle 0 relative to actor

and the rules to rotate
when turnLeft is 1, rotate to 180 relative to scene at speed 150 with run to completion checked

I made a quick demo of it too:

It's probably not the best way of doing it, but it worked for me

Looks great!
