    That is some of the best script motion I have ever seen. Is this method very specific or rather easy to apply else where?

    Thanks, Ascend!

    I've been pondering that today, and yes there are many other applications where this could be helpful, if not solve all a forger's problems with motion.

    When my write-up is done, I feel it will be a "Chicago pile" moment and you guys are all gonna go nuclear with it!

    Hi folks. we are aware there is a bug wit hthis map, where the shuttle attempts to land twice, which breaks a bunch of ****. Adding in the cameras created a pre-round, or zero round, where the landing is triggered, and then it is also triggered at the intended time.

    We are appealing to judges to remove all cameras. If successful, we will put a link to THEIR EDIT here in this thread, and probably continue development on our own separate copy from there.

    Thanks for your interest.

    Excellent scripting, how long did this take?

    All - please note there is a new link in the download button, that now leads to the appropriate place, which is IcyHot's fileshare, who built the actual map. It is a beautiful piece of art that also plays fun, so that is why he gets the credit. :D In the interest of having the latest copy and showing #downloads support, please re-bookmark to the new link!

    it depends on how you measure the task of research and development for the motion... if you include all R&D, It would put it at close to a year!

    If you are talking about the venture related to the map itself, just a couple weeks. (The eternity ball was a couple more weeks) I lucked out and had a major breakthrough as the competition neared its deadline. Essentially, I had all of the pieces to the puzzle, but one setting was accidentally left in an unintended state that actually revealed the secret.

    If you want to see more about the scripted motion - Tutorial Thread.
