How to make multiple planes follow a different path? Custom build demo file included!

Approw

Hi all,

I created a flight control template, it is working pretty solid.
I build it from Tshirt booths follow a draw path template, so the credits are not 100% on me.

Anyway, the coordinates are based on tables and I can't figure out how it would be possible to make multiple planes follow a different path, beacause it uses one table.
the demo is attached to this post, so feel free to download it and help me figuring out this issue (if possible).

I hope someone can help me out, and maybe other member can make use of this template!

I finished the code to make this possible a few days ago. Im just ironing out the graphics and I will have the template available in a few days. Its taken about 3 months to iron it out.

@BenMakesGames Ow that sounds really good. Can you post your template in this
thread?

@Approw -- Nice integration of tshirtbooth's "draw path" and Obz's "waypoint" demos.

For multiple planes you have two choices:
1) Make multiple 'path' tables: e.g. path1, path2, path3
2) Add more columns to the master and path tables. (Columns 3&4 would be for plane#2. Columns 4&5 would be for plane#3, etc.)

The template will be available in the marketplace in the next couple of days.

@Rthurman, your second suggestion wont work with the current way it has been designed.

@BenMakesGames @Rthurman , ow it is possible, You just need a spawner and relate an attribute that gives every actor an ID tag.

:Every 2 seconds spawn plane, and do a change attribute in that says, change game.PLANE ID to game.PLANE ID+1

in your plane actor say: change attribute self.ID TAG to game.PLANE ID

Then make a bunch of rules like: If self.ID TAG is 1, use table1.

The only problem is that the rules are based on mouse button is down and mouse button released. so still figuring out some stuff.

Sorry, to be clear the current way wont allow you to use a single table because it is deleting a line each time.

Approw

@BenMakesGames youre wrong mate. You need a different index file for each table.

Table1 uses index1, table2 uses index 2. etc

I finally finished my version of the template. Ive submitted it to the gamesalad marketplace and hopefully should be available in a few days. Took about 5 months to create. The video appears a bit shakey bellow but thats just the recording software and GS running at the same time.
