i dont know.. i believe gravity is applied to objects, therefor if the exterior of the ship is given a certain gravity type (zero G) then the interior(different mesh) was given standard prameters then in theory it has a possibility of working. but the lag may be immense.

if a player inside a ship was a "child" of the ship then yes, but I doubt we can get bf2 to act like that

or maybe you coders can cool strange is the way of the force

Re: Walking inside flying ships possible?

well, bf2 doesn't have moving ships anymore, something in their code doesn't really allow this anymore

Re: Walking inside flying ships possible?

looking at things there may be a way around it.

you can determine what BF2 renders, say you fly past a ship with 3-4 people in it, the engine will know they are in there but wont render the seats/interior they are in because you cant see it. the thing is alot of the model has to be made into parts to save resources. and that means lots of LODs! big_smile

Re: Walking inside flying ships possible?

ah so thats why in bf2sf i can see true the ship when i look at a doorway from my chopper that keeps cleaning the deck tongue
right?
also there are moving ships, the smaller version, the transport boats. and i dont know about you, but when some1 stands ontop of it or and other verhicle(like the tank) you see them slowly moving backwards and fall of

Re: Walking inside flying ships possible?

due the engine smile

In bf1942 this was possible to stand on top of it, cause u had also moving ships, where u just could walk on

in bf2 they already solved this problem a bit in a patch, but it is not yet as in bf1942

Re: Walking inside flying ships possible?

You can stand inside a dingy boat in bf2 though without actually sitting in it and travel fine without falling out if I remember correctly. However this a boat so I don't really know how it would compare.
