I have a few minor problems with my picnic area dragon. The fight with him so far isn't perfect, but it's decent, which is not what I strive for. I've attached photos as well.

1. The dragon doesn't face the hero when you enter the level no
matter what direction it is facing in the tng editor.

2. It starts out on the correct marker, the landing marker, but
doesn't land there after it comes back from flying.

So no solutions to that then?

The thumbnails are okay, because they're thumbnails. The actual screenshots are 320x240. The Sony PSP resolution is 480x272. My computer resolution is 1280x1024. I could fit 16 of those pictures on my screen with enough room left to have a nice cinematic black strip. Razz

As for solutions, where is the dragon facing (North, South, towards a certain marker/thing/creature/whatever, etc.)? Where does the dragon land? Check to see if additional markers are needed or are missing.

You can experiment with this by moving the dragon's starting marker, landing marker, the actual dragon itself, and wherever the dragon is supposed to be facing (if there's a marker that determines this, haven't played around with dragons before). See if the dragon still faces the exact same direction or if it rotates to face where it was facing originally, and to see if the landing spot changed or if it moved as well.

If the direction the dragon is facing is static (example: always North), you may want to have the Hero come in from over there or try rotating the entire dragon set 180 degrees.

If the direction the dragon is facing changes after moving it, find out what determines where it faces and adjust it accordingly.

It's just experimentation, seeing what does what, trying to figure out why, then manipulating it so that it's just the way you want. Smile

An example of how small this image is:

The dragon is facing West in the game, but towards the actual entrance like it should in my tng editor. The dragon lands in a filler where you can barely see him, kind of strange All the markers are there trust me.

See if the dragon still faces the exact same direction or if it rotates to face where it was facing originally, and to see if the landing spot changed or if it moved as well.

Experimented almost too much.

If the direction the dragon is facing is static (example: always North), you may want to have the Hero come in from over there or try rotating the entire dragon set 180 degrees.

Nice idea. I'll try it, but I doubt it'll make a difference.

It's just experimentation, seeing what does what, trying to figure out why, then manipulating it so that it's just the way you want. Smile

It's been quite strenuous doing so.


Most likely, it's because the whole quest markers aren't correctly accepting the region. Pm me if anyone wants the tng to take a look at it.
