Moving with trail effect

by Robert Stewart · in Torque Game Engine · 08/07/2005 (5:00 pm) · 1 replies

Im doing a space game and im trying to get my ship to move places(and it does), I want the tail of my ship to follow. Basically I need the Nose of the ship to point to the position I set it too, and have the tail follow. Like in all 3d Space sims, The move the head up the tail goes down and follows. Hmm Im having a hard time explaining this, I hope you guys understand. Anyway how would I go about doing something like that?

I think you'd have to create a script to control some animation on the space ship object... but I'm not an expert at TGE (DTS) animation.
I'm making a space sim too, but we don't have an atmosphere in our space, so moving a tail to make your ship go up/down or something kinda looks very unrealistic...
