Flying Mounts

[ozdon]

Are there any plans to support flying mounts with ogre follow?

I realise there are fly up/down buttons but the default follow does not seem to 'take to the air' when needed.

I realise there are flu up/down buttons but the default follow does not seem to 'take to the air' when needed.

That's what the fly up is for get them up then click it again and the follow fine.

I dont know about you by my team winds up at different heights. Not to mention the times I have wound up with one or more toons running along the ground

I have no plans of making OgreFollow support height (flying/swimming).

If I have to make any real changes to the navlib, I'll be rewriting it to do some improvements on it. And I wanted to sacrifice babies when I wrote it the first time.

If you need to fly or swim, I recommend using in-game follow.

I had a feeling this was going to be a non trivial change.


I look forward to hearing about it for the Ogre release after next (or the one after that [please dont sacrifice too many babies])

force follow

Force Follow seems to work fine for flying. I usually click no move and then force follow to get toons to take off and follow the tank

I have a "quirky" way that works 100%, but like I said its got a quirk or 2.

First add the EQ2Execute to MCP Customs as per BJCasey's post in this thread:

http://www.isxgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5197

On the combat "tab" creat a button, mines called "Fly"

Select Command: EQ2Execute
Custom Button Name: whatever you want
Additional Parameters: follow toon_name [this should be the name of the toon who normally lead your group around]

use OFollow when not flying

when I want to fly, I induce the bug in OFollow where if you click OFol--- 4 times they stop following, then click my fly button.

Sometimes they don't land completely, but I just click Fly-Dn and continue with what I'm doing.

If you engage in combat while flying, you might have to click you fly button again to get them to follow. I have 1 toon out of the 5 that always stops following because of combat.

Should be able to just hit "hold up" in which disables OFol.
Hit your Fly button.
Then hit lets go to resume OFol.
