Err, the only way I ever got a VTOL to work was like the one in Sole Survivor. In that we just used animated a bone in a cinematic and attached an Orca and a script to it to shoot enemies. It worked alright, but even if you set a looped animation of the bone it wouldn't be very realistic.

Ah yes, I remember doing this a few times during some of my RP2 internal tests. I was looking for a script that would attack automatically as well as follow a certain waypath. Try using M08_Facility_Tank and define the Waypath ID for it. However, your VTOL might have to start out on a solid terrain object before it begins. Seems to be the nature of the script.

However, the only downside is that when it finally kills its target, it stops any and all activity. Since it's a solo script, it was probably meant to behave this way. You could call it a one-shot script.

Couldn't somebody break it down and find out how it works, then set it so that it repeats itself?

I'de like to see 2 AI vehecle scripts,

1. vehicle is on a way path, it never stops, and when it sees someone it starts shooting(staying and driving on the waypath) untill it's out of range.

2. vehicle is on a waypath, it will stop when it sees someone and will start shooting untill they are dead/out of range, then it will resume the waypath it was in.

What if you were to code it to have its target something that it will never get to, like an object miles away, thus making it never stop, and script it to attack things it comes across on the way while its real target is this object it won't reach? Brings up another question. Does the object it wants to kill have to exist at the time you use it.
