I think UnrealEd.exe has got a tutorial about them... Basically you set up a line of InterpolationPoints with the same tag and advancing 'Position' ID, and put a PlayerStart inside a black 256³ cube, right above a Trigger (so it's triggered when the player falls down after spawning). Have the Trigger trigger a SpecialEvent actor set to Object->InitialState='PlayerPath'. That should do it. Best set the LevelInfo->DefaultGameInfo to "UTIntro".
Now, you only need to build a level :D

Hope it helped!
Cheers! -Lugg

Well at the moment I'm busy on DM-MountainTop, a map that "supposed" to be in Aspen...
A mountain (basicly a slope), a skilift, a skilodge, an avalanche and possibly a skipatrol...
Lot of work, quite small, but boy what fun!!!:D
If you want, I can give you a sneak preview of it...

And yes when I'm finished i'll make a flyby for u!!!:p

Hmm, this is a good idea actually (Shouldn't it be in Showcase forum? :p)

I'll post the one I'm working on soon, I just want to get the next area done first

Voor jou een vraag, voor mij een weet.
Yeah flybys are very easy to make once you get the hang of it.

CTF-Rollercoaster has one flyby of 45 interpolationpoints now, all 512 units apart. So that makes about a 500 meter trip. It will take you upside-down through the looping :D, but I guess you've all seen it by now (the test map has been downloaded 23 times :cool: ).

Because they're so easy to set up and because they save lots of (velocity) zones, I was thinking of adding 2 more flybys. These ones would be more Unreal-ending style! :D

What about a flyby where you do fly across a predefined path, but you're free to choose in which direction you look? If you don't touch anything, it'll be like a normal flyby (i.e. your view rotation will follow that of the predefined path), but if you move your mouse, you'll be able to look around and enjoy the scenery in all it's details! :D

Can be done with some scripting. Sounds like a good idea?

To be honest, I'm already working on this. :p I plan to use it in CTF-Rollercoaster. If it works OK this could save a lot of (velocity) zones. And the good thing is: bots can take the flyby too! :) When tested, I've been killed quite some times by an interpolating bot, who chose to look in my direction and killed me with his shockrifle! :cool:

I remember having a flyby on a CTF-map (wich didn't finish, thank god ;)) and when u translocated out you would fall through the ground and die all the time...

Yes, but I've already fixed that bug. :p If you're interested in using the 'safe' flyby, wait for a new update on CTF-Rollercoaster. :)

Amen to that brother...
If I were reviewer, I'd give it 10 for fun factor, 10 for the idea, and high points for the rest...
This is going to be hard to beat!!!:D
