REDNECK RAMPAGE MAKEMAP TUTORIAL #8-LOCATORS by Matt Newcomb ============================================================ Make a sector you want to be the moving object (truck, forklift, t.v., etc.) and raise it up (or drop it from the ceiling for a new twist!) and give it a Hitag of 1 and a Lotag of 800. Put a Sector Effector sprite inside the sector and give it a Hitag of 1 and a Lotag of 6. Now place Locator sprites in the form of a path around the map. Give them all Lotags that increment in value EXCEPT the first one. It does not get a Lotag. Lotag the others starting with 1 for the second sprite, 2 for the third, and so on until you reach the last one. Make the tail of the Sector Effector point toward the first locator ( the one with no Lotag ). The Locators must form a circle, with the last one being within site of the first one, so the object will loop. Note the circle does not have to be perfectly round, as demonstrated in the first level of the game. You can make it do as many turns and swerves as you want, so long as the last Locator is directly in site of the first. If you don't the object will probably crash, as well as the map, especially if you make it go around walls or other solid objects. MAKE SURE YOUR MOVING SECTOR DOES NOT CROSS A LINE OF ANY KIND. IT IS VERY EASY FOR THE REAR OF THE SECTOR TO CROSS A LINE IN A TURN, SO CHECK IT CAREFULLY. IF IT DISAPPEARS FOR EVEN A FRACTION OF A SECOND, EXPAND THE LINE OR SHRINK THE SECTOR. ============================================================= This map and text created by Matt Newcomb.
