Lasers as ride events...

[Azn_warrior]

:confused:is it possible to use lasers as ride events?:confused:
i just want to know because i was planning a Potc 3 ride and wanted to use a laser as the green flash at sunset...
if there is a way, plz tell me that would help alot...

Yeah, you have to synchronize the lasers with the coaster, so for example, pause the coaster right when it starts to leave the station, and open up the mixmaster, and press play on the mixmaster, then press play for the entire game.

The train should leave the station right when you start, and the mixmaster should start too. Just wait til it gets to the point where you want the laser to go off and pause the game.

Then add a laser right at that time.

Then you should pause the game at either 7:31 pm all-day mode or 9:50 pm all night mode, not sure about mixed. And not sure on how to get the laser to go right at sunset, you have to experiment that yourself.

Then when you have the right time to pause, go onto the coastercam and start to ride, and hopefully the laser went off at the correct time.

I hope that helps, and that it is even on the correct subject. :noob:

thx, but i feel that that is too complicated,
i mean a laser that plays at the same spot 100% of the time

[Belgabor]

No, that's impossible.

yea well tough luck lol

here is how i do it, set the time to night, notice it always starts at 8:36 b4 you hit night though hit the pause button, then go into night mode, hit test on your coaster, then hit the play button on mixmaster then hit the play button and re-start the time. Then pause when the coaster gets where you want it to be thats the only way to do it.

Oops, I didn't realize that's what you wanted to do. :p
Then just set a laser to go on for a really long time and it will keep playing, no synchronizing or anything.

Just use mixmaster lasers. It may be complicated but it works. Plus their is no other way.

I think its 350 seconds or something is the time it takes to get from the start of the show back to the start of the show. So after 350 seconds then it will restart.

This gave me a thought maybe when the importer get's ride events added, we could make ride event triggered lasers?

[Belgabor]

No, at least not in the sense of a show. A ride event can have particle effects, if lasers work as such, they can be animated in a ride event, but not in a user configurable way, ie whoever creates the ride event has to determine exactly what happens.

dang, i guess ill just do optional's or ryguy's suggestion... thx tho

That would be awesome and so much more helpful than setting up the mixmaster.
