Wanting To Make A Drop Zone With Animations - Please Help

[pacotacoplayer]

You have all probably seen the amazing ferris wheel uploaded today! Well, seeing that, I thought it would be possible to make a Drop Zone. I have past experience with the BHAV functions so I am okay knowing that I have to adjust that.

If you don't know what a Drop Zone is, it is a theme park ride in which riders sit in a seat with restraints and are lifted up a tall tower about 25 stories into the air. The riders stay at the top for about 5 seconds and then the drop from the tower (free fall) and come to a finish safely back at the bottom.

I want to know how I can make the sim sit on the ride, and give the seats animtions to begin to lift with the sim, and go to the top and drop a lot faster then they went up.

If this thread is moved, please notify me by a PM and tell me where you moved it to.

-Thanks,
ptp

Check the featured items if you don't see it on the top anymore. It's amazing.

But let's be blunt here. Look at her list of thank you's. This is something that one person worked her butt off on, and then at various times when she hit a dead end, someone else of very very high skill helped her.

You want to know how it was done, I'm sure you can LOOK at the source. Not clone, but look. And learn. It has animation, it has extra slots - those are specific things that you could learn how to do (okay so first it's extra slots on say, a table).

One needs to work up to skills -- you wouldn't expect someone to be able to tutor you in calculus and make any headway if you didn't know at least multiplication and a bit of algebra, right? It takes a base of knowledge before stepping into an area that very few modders have gotten to work.
