I want something to happen when the bomb bay is opened. I figure this would tie in with activation of the bayDoor DOF, but I can't quite figure it out since only the dofID for bayDoor is shown. In other words, what is the cmd, is there a cmdOpenBayDoors or cmdToggleBayDoors? Looking through the keyboard.inp I noticed that inpToggleBayDoorsState and the like are in there, but I don't think these can be used like you would use a cmd in the DOF's proplist.

Oh yeah, and I need some help if someone with a 3D editor is willing to take these shadows I made for the V-1 and the Go229 and map them to the aircraft models. I think all the rest can be done by editing the LOD or ASC files, but then again I have no idea what I'm talking about

Thanks,

What kind of thing do you want to happen? You CAN tie any DOF to another DOF. This is how, for example, you can have a guage move in response to the landing gear going up/down. This is how the moving control sticks work.

But I do not think there is any way to send a prop list upon a DOF activation. That would be cool. Can anyone think of a way?

Thanks, Sv.
I'll check out your doc on making a moving stick. What I am trying to do is tie a simple DOF to the tail section (rudder, elevators) so that when the bomb bay door DOF is activated, the other DOF will disable all the control surfaces in the tail. However I don't want to make the tail section a child of the bomb bay door.

Anyway I am just fooling around with the V-1 and maybe learning a little bit of OpenPlane in the process. By accident, of course

Pete, MH, anybody?!?!...

Is there a "cmd" for activating the bayDoor DOF or what? How can I trigger my own DOF to start when the bomb bay door opens? What is this "tying" a DOF to another as Sv mentioned and how is it done? Please help!
