Your first post here I see. Welcome. Unfortunately you have come at a time when your question might not get seen by many people due to problems with the server switch.

I have'nt messed with trajedi much. If you can't get it to work you might try to get them to fly by using a cog and frames (see the MotS cutscenes tutorial).

Is this sp or mp. I believe you have to place the 3do somewhere in the level for mp to be able to create it...And are you using ghosts? Level 8 of JK has some timebombers that fly around...Maybe you can impliment your idea doing it the way they do in that level. Try these cogs...

Or you could use Puppet Jedi and make .key files for the ships.

Definitely use PuppetJedi if you want to use a complex movement pattern.

Occasionally, a 3do will not move at all when you are trying to play a key for it even though the key tests out fine in PuppetJedi. In such a circumstance, try altering the values in the PlayKey cog verb.

If you just want a simple movement pattern, just move the ship through frames with the MoveToFrame cog verb.

The cogs that run the TIE bomber in level 8 of JK is one of the most complicated cog setups I've ever seen. The cogs actually uses vectors to dictate some of the ship's movement. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/eek.gif]

I'd suggest anything else, especially if you're still kinda new to editing.

This is based on simple motions.
