A Sneak SNEAK peek at the upcoming air strike addon. (By jetz)

[MtnDew]

its going to be the Artillery Beacon (unreleased)

A small device will be dropped by the player onto the ground.
This device will emit smoke, signaling a friendly F-Block14

Once the F-Block14 arrives, it will drop a # of shells, causing mass destruction :D

Model: Pandan
Script: Jetz

That's all im permitted to disclose :D

here is a little promo for the normal artillery beacon.

The air strike will be based off of this.

What happens if you use this in an enclosed area or map like the Bedroom?

Jetz said something about ray casting blah.

So it works in interiors.

This has been done before, with Grimreaper's permission, I'm sure I could dig it up again.

Artillery beacon uses raycasting to drop it from the ceiling, if it's high enough. If it's too low(Under the bed, under the dresser, on top of the dresser) it will tell you to go try it outside.

As for the airstrike beacon, I have a bot that flies a magic carpet overhead and shoots an explosive but the problem remains that I can't account for every last wall it could bump into, so I'm planing to make it unable to bump into walls at all.

You know, I did make another video of this in action, and of a more up to date version.

If you make the jet work though, I will love you.

If you make the jet work though, I will love you.

The jet flyover should work fine, and it already does work using the magic carpet, but if you mean make it to where anyone can use it, that will be problematic. The jet will be designed to not collide with anything, meaning if you spawned it with a vehicle spawn brick it would fall through the floor, and you couldn't even jump on it to get in anyway.
