Barrel Roll Taunt

206UE · Stealth Laser Trooper **Joined**: 07 Jan 2010

I was trying to replicate the barrel roll taunt from Shockwave. I got a fatal error. It lost me at the part where they used "GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet" as a trigger.

Their method is very alien to me. They don't even use an animated W3D to make the plane barrel roll...Which is what I started to try to do once I failed at trying to duplicate their method.

Even this became frustrating, I couldn't apply the animation to the ATTACKING condition. I'm using the Raptor as a test subject. The closest I could get was to apply the animation to the JETEXHAUST condition. This makes them do a roll right after takeoff, which is good. But, I'd prefer if I could get them to do the barrel roll before or after an attack. Or at the command of a button like Shockwave did.
