This is how I do my planes scripting...

wait 5;  // <----delay for both sound and plane

thread plane();
}

plane()
{
	while(1)
	{
		plane = getent("plane","targetname");

		plane playsound("sound_plane");

		desti_plane = getent("plane_destination", "targetname");

		plane.dest = desti_plane.origin ;
		plane.start = plane.origin;

		plane moveto(plane.dest, 2, 0.1, 0.1);
		plane waittill("movedone");
		
		plane.origin = plane.start;
		
		wait 10; // <----delay between restart
	}

thanks Capt, that worked. What are the advantages to scripting it your way vs the other way?

Well the way I make it is very easy to understand, less complicated, easy to modify and shorter then yours, lolll

Do you create your planes the same way as the tutorial but just give it a different targetname and then use your script?

I never checked the tutorial you are talking about. I did this by test/try/error ;)

This is how I do it:
I take a plane xmodel I give it for Key :target plane_destination and Value: plane;
Then I add a script_origin ( where to plane will go ) with the Key: targetname
and the Value: plane_destination;

After, I select the plane first then the script_origin and weld them together.

Thats all. The rest is in the gsc ;)

This is the easiest way to make moving things.

Good stuff Capt, but just to clarify what you have is this right? If the image is fuzzy this is what i have...

I inserted an Xmodel (vehicle_spitfire_flying)
Key: target plane_destination (this is where i'm confused since there is no _ between target and plane.
Value: plane

Here...
The xmodel:


and the origin:

Gotcha Capt, works great, thanks for the tips.

My pleasure :) Hope to see this baby ... you know where lolll

Here is something very strange, my plane has sound even though nothing is in the soundaliase, how is that possible? I wanted to change the sound and no matter what i did it was the same thing. So i removed the line from the csv and it's still working. What is up with that? How do i fix that?

GSC

main() 
{ 

level thread planes(); 
} 

planes() 
{ 
level.PlaneSpeed = 5; 

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname"); 
temp = getent (stuka1.target,"targetname"); 
stuka1.dest = temp.origin; 
stuka1.start = stuka1.origin; 
stuka1 hide(); 

wait 2; 

while (1) 
{ 
stuka1 thread plane_flyby("stuka_flyby"); 
wait .15; 

wait 10; 
} 
} 

plane_flyby(sound) 
{ 
// If you specified a sound to play then play it 
if (isdefined (sound)) 
self playsound (sound); 

wait .10; 

self show(); 

self moveto(self.dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1); 

wait level.PlaneSpeed; 

self hide(); 
self.origin = self.start; 
}
