Don't remember who asked for this, but here it is. vortex.dts
It's in a zip file.

So what's it for???

Supposedly it's a goal.
"bloopquitwork" wanted it. IP doesn't match anyone I've seen before.
Didn't even know I had it until he/she/it asked.
I'm guessing it needs more than just the dts file, but what the heck. There it is.

I'm hoping someone will tell us what it is/looks like.
It was in the shapes/common folder.

It's the teleport from Paco's BFD Mod.

It only needs the dts, since it uses the textures from the Reload station and the scrum goal.

Cool. How did you make it moving like scrumgoal?

Thanks... (that was me by the way)

...i don't know how I managed to delete it, but I did

Cheers

Cool. XD

So that's what it is! Sweet!

To play the animations you need the use the playuserthread() function call.

                                        

                                        datablock powerupdata(Vortex)

                                        {

                                         category = "PowerUp";

                                         shape = "~/data/shapes/common/vortex.dts";

                                         userseq1 = "ambient";

                                             userseq2 = "activate";
                                        

                                         type = "vortex";

                                         shadow = true;

                                         staticShadow = true;

                                         startOn = true;

                                         soundOff = "ReloadSound";

                                        }; 

                                        function PowerUpData::onAdd(%this,%obj)

                                        {

                                         if (%obj.getDatablock().type $= "vortex") %obj.playUserThread(1,1,1);
                                        

                                        }

                                        function Vortex::onenter(%db, %obj, %tank)

                                        {

                                         %obj.playUserThread(2,1,1);
                                        

                                         // What do you want it to do when you drive through? Put that code here

                                        }

                                        

Now you have a powerup for your mission:

                                        

                                        new PowerUp() {

                                         position = "-240.56 -150.073 135.09";

                                         rotation = "1 0 0 0";

                                         scale = "1 1 1";

                                         dataBlock = "vortex";

                                        };

Lagman(& Paco) you should make more objects. Yours objects are always the top-notch.

Thats cool but how do you use it? I know this is probably an easy question but, I forgot all about modding and stuff while I was away from playing TT :(

Thanks Lagman, are the animation images said in the dts file? Or do you need some kind of.ifl?

It uses the ifl that the scrum goal uses. So you don't need any additional files.
