hiding the jet

Ive made a jet in my map to come by and drop bombs, but the problem is: its viable behind the skybox, because the path it goes reaches into the map. Is there a way to hide it? everything outside the skybox isnt displayed so the box it's in isnt viable.

make a teleporter and hid the jet under the map and then have it travel though each teleporter and then across the sky. You can tie this to a func_trigger so that the jet only shows when that trigger is crossed... other than that the jet is sitting in its holding spot under the map.

Im not sure how you mean that? the jet is a func_button. describe how you want to make a teleport something so that I can hide the jet under the map please.

okay I tried a different approach now. I made a func_physbox in a box under the map. Activate motion teleports it to the right spot. I wanted a trigger_push to throw it and maybe trigger KILL after it reached the endposition.

Somehow the trigger_push doesnt push the physbox. Whats wrong? The flag physical objects is checked..

I pushed it with a thruster, but its much too slow for a jet flyby.. hmm any idea?

I would try a different approach, where the jet is func_brush parented to the func_button , whenever it goes "on out" or whatever its doing it will send an output to your named func_brush > disable

would be easiest with func_tracktrain as the parent actually as whenever the train passes the "vanishing point" path_track you can use the 'on pass' function to disable the child func_brush

I will have to build a small map and see what I can do.. I am not good at explaining it... but if I get it to work I will upload the mini-map to my pit for DL.

thats a great idea! I will give it a try

thanks again for the great idea. it worked - even without hiding the brush, because it was outside the map with no connection so it wasnt visable. thanks to you Im almost done with the map.

Awesome.. can hardly wait to see this jet stream by.
