• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Controling a object

HI;

Is it possible for a object to show up at a specific time and dissappear say a couple minutes later...

I found in the SDK how to control a effect but not a object ! :(
 
SODE would do it, I am pretty sure. However, keep reading on effects, you can configure effects to emit model objects.
 
You can create a Mission and have objects show up and do things. How, I do not know, but I have seen many amazing things in early FSX Missions, like the elephants and other animals in the Africa Mission.
You might have to create a model of your object and then create its folder system, like it was a car or animal or plane, then figure out how to get it to do what you want.

A Mission developer would probably be able to help you out more on this.

Another idea is to make the object a AI flight. You would set up its time to take off, where to fly to, etc. If you didnt want it to fly, then you give it no wings in the config file. ;)
 
Depends on what you want to do with it specifically, if you want it to be controlled always in the same place, same time, depending on some other variables, or if mission is a good candidate.

SODE can do it, so can objectPlacer...
 
I install SODE and it is registered OK and it appers inthe menu of FSXA.

But now what do i have to do ???

Say i want a person to appear at 12:00 exacly and disappear at 12:05, how do i use SODE to do this ?

I cannot find any tutorial on SODE !
 
the easy way to get the "object" to show up at 1200 is to simply provide lunch for him,her,it. is humer still ok in here? i know its unrelated, but...
 
OK;

Got it install and working.
Tested it with the object demo they give and it does work.:stirthepo

But unfortunately, it is not what i'm looking for.:scratchch

Thank you all for your suggestion.:wave:
 
Hi Pfabian;
Not sure how to send PM !

But in short, what i'm trying to accomplish is something like "teleportation", « beam me up Scotty » ?;)

A person or object would appear and dissappear at a specific time and place...:stirthepo and it would be a .BGL file not SODE or Mission.
 
Sorry... I don't get the teleportation bit.
