Ok ive use FreezePlayer when the player gets near the gate and displayed an image of a little robot in a window saying docking granted bla bla, but when I do this the player view flips to the rear of the ship whereas I want it to stay fixed on the ring. ideas anyone plz? heres my updated script

im not 100% sure but i think it's because the script you use to control the ship is also using a combination of freezeplayer and transporttoifused and somewhere along the line it's causing the odd rotation.

is it completely needed to freeze the player? i would probably just make speed (from the other script) a lot slower so that the player can still move away if he didnt want to dock but also so he wont crash into the ring.
you will need to remove the "local" from the speed declaration in the other script to adjust it here.

p.s. freelancer was a cool game (one of the very few space games i actually enjoyed playing

Still have my copy I forgot it would be duplicated on the ship :/ maybe a reduce speed script added into the dock script, some sort of holding pattern i'll play around see what happens. Maybe just increase the distance for the prompt and change it to text on screen so its easier to see. cheers smallg

Thanks smallg its reading through yours and Myke's scripts that's helped me slowly get an understanding of what does what I'm kinda getting it now...hmm warp vid ive been thinking on that and trying to find something that looks like a warp, I have the tools to overlay the ship add sounds etc I'm using freemake a lot its a nice free video converter, maker etc (worth a looksee and free) was it you that did the fly away script? ooo now I think about it I think ejay has some warp animations

And the Jump/warp gate well a test of one i'll need to better the video might work well if I add a drop out of warp sound and jump to level that way you warp from and arrive at the planet or part of space still need to find a way to confine the player to the ship as you can as they say "get out and walk" lol
