They already do. That's how the Z heights work on the mortars work too. When the arc starts out, it's about at the same z height as the character, and then eventually rises above the z height of the character, then falls back down to around that level too. If it reaches the end of the arc, an explosion is triggered, and the bomb itself is destroyed.

not for grenades though because they only go through things when u touch them

Don't fall for the shock value. If you think about it rationally, it isn't very different from a Zeppelin (On 2K2. It might be significant for other servers.)

It definately will add a very new element to kingdoms. Since these appear that they can, you know, fight.

Which could have been done with a modified Zeppelin. Not something that required new "flying technology". This stuff could have been accomplished (and it probably would have been easier) by using already-existing "technology" (on 2K2.)

Googi as far as I'm aware, there was no such technology to zoom the entire level/gmap.

I hope the Zeppelin gets fixed up to do the same thing as the Hot air balloon ( Zoomage/bombs. :o )

I was being facetious.

That isn't something very relevant to flying (also, other servers have had "world maps", although they weren't created using zooming.)

Yeah, the only thing here that I really need is the zooming of te gmap. Other than that, everything else could have been scripted already. It's a very nice addition.

xXziroXx · #60 10-07-2006, 02:09 AM

I would upgrade just for this feature, its just that awesome. Alot of neat stuff can be scripted with it that you werent able to before.
