Great Vids, KF, but I think you meant to call this one Part 3

I was thinking, isn’t there a ‘cloak’ animation that can be used to make a ship disappear? If used instead of the ‘warp out’ animation, that could work. I’ll have to try that. Thanks for another great effect.

A great explanation of the concept. There are a great number of possible uses for this… Insert imagination and go with it…

In reponse to your comment about how to control what you get with mission scaling I’ve been trying to play around with that a bit.

My going in position was to use a group, like cruiser 01, and individually set the costume on one of the pucks in the group to the ship type I want. Then I tried to use the state tab to set all the other individual ship pucks as never visable.

I don’t know if that would prevent other ships from appearing even if the mission scaled and am interested in your thoughts.

Additionally, I’ve run into either a bug or user error doing the aformentioned proceedure. The ship costume and ship name I set to appear doesn’t seem to work. I set the one visiable ship I wanted to a custom ship costume, and upon testing, while I do get just the one ship (again, not sure if my scaling work around is working), it randomly picks the class and appearance.

Have you come across this and if so any advice?

Pardon the second post, but as you’ve asked for sugguestions for future tutorials (all of which have been amazing so far by the way), I’d like to see how to tag a character, crate, etc and have it beam out.

Examples would include beaming out injured to your ship, beaming up crates of weapons and the like as we have seen in Cryptic missions.

Thanks for considering the suggestion and overall for helping the foundry community grow and improve in skill.
