(error 404) #1

hey ive got a question :
how to make that there can be airstrikes and artillery on the map? i mean not “Aborting, cant see target.”

thanks for all the answers

You need a texture that is correlated to a sky shader. More on shaders here> http://shaderlab.com/q3map2/shader_manual/contents.html

Here are a few of the default skies:
textures/fueldump/fueldumpsky
textures/skies/sd_batterysky
textures/skies/sd_wurzburgsky

And you have to generate a valid tracemap to make the airstrikes work properly…

I thought that was only needed for mortar and snow/rain, but it doesn’t hurt.

@error404: See LDR 1.1 for more info on tracemaps and generation.

Airstrikes work w/o tracemaps but making a tracemap NEVER hurts !

oops… i thought so, because once i had some strange effects with airstrikes in a map without a tracemap… but maybe it was a side effect caused by something else…
