Leviathan Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I haven't used the vortex much becouse I haven't discovered the vortex spawn for so long... and was too buisy with pimping of cars... (the spawn is really idiotic if you know what I mean, got to be fixed with a patch). When I was viewing SA through some modding tools to get Ideas for gamemodes I discovered that the vortex is actually is an airplane... but with total different controlls (dûh). After some joyriding/flying I started to take some insane stunts, and that was cool becouse I allmost flew away. yes, really. It's hard to controll but the vortex can fly. alltough this is harder than the dodo from gta3 so I call it floating... So now I got a new gamemode which isn't that hard to code and great fun. It's like in kirby's airride for the ones who know. The fly challenge. Ok I'll explain: All start with a vortex on mt. chiliad. And players have to float as far as possible while going down (or up, yeah I'm still trying to get it done).
eAi Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 [iON]Leviathan: please resize your signature picture so that it is within the sizes set down in the forum rules.
Leviathan Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 I checked it 3 times, but the profile limit says 650x150... I'll make a new one... ****************************************************************** Changed! hah, that's the power of working with layers...
ArmedAndDangerous Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I tried doing that the other day, hehe. It was pretty fun, I had to be careful to get the landing right, i tried going round in a spiral, that seemed to work fine.
Leviathan Posted July 8, 2005 Author Posted July 8, 2005 I've managed it to land behind the Airfield of SF in the middle of the map in the sea.
Gamefreek Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I checked it 3 times, but the profile limit says 650x150... I'll make a new one...****************************************************************** Changed! hah, that's the power of working with layers... Yeah its confusing in the profile but these are the actual sizes The images in your signature must be sized within either 400x150 OR 620 x 80 pixels.
Leviathan Posted July 8, 2005 Author Posted July 8, 2005 yeah, like I have now. I remembered the sizes again...
njr1489 Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I had some fun doing it. It is technically a plane since you can keep it up for so long and has the same explosion.
Leviathan Posted July 8, 2005 Author Posted July 8, 2005 yes, and in the handling.cfg the vortex is in the category planes. Yeah after the GTA3 dodo "try to fly with me". I now like to try to fly with the vortex. A new huge challenge, that's how I like it. yeah the dodo was after a time easy to fly when you'd got used to his controlls. I easilly flew for half an hour over Liberty City and then got smashed out of my highness by a computer crash.
Dominator Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 i couldnt even get over the sea with the dodo in gta 3
njr1489 Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Its really hard to fly up with the vortex though. Any tips or is it impossible?
Dominator Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 i just tried it.. and you cant fly with it but you float for like 5 or 10 sec. I tried to take of from the ground but that didnt work.. so i jumped of the bridge and saw how i floated for 5 secs.
Leviathan Posted July 8, 2005 Author Posted July 8, 2005 you can't fly away from the ground, but If you drop from something high you might be possible to keep it in the air and fly some with it
Leviathan Posted July 8, 2005 Author Posted July 8, 2005 It requires training. After I've trained some I'm able to fly from the mountain to the center of the map.
Guest Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Yeah, I've been doing this on PS2 and I have been able to 'fly' numerous places in the vortex. The trick is to not turn to sharply otherwise you lost your 'float'.

Guest Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Here is a really short video of me doing it for about 10 seconds. I can 'fly' for about 2 minutes but I kept it short to keep the file size down. Filefront Download
