I was thinking and it seems to me it would be nice if there were objects that moved in the world editor. For example an elevator that goes up and down when a button is pressed. An escalator that is constantly on, or a train or cruise ship that stops and starts at various stations or docks. I think that it would allow for larger worlds without having the issue of people crashing cars, planes, or boats into things if it was setup to run on timers or button presses. For the train example it might also be necessary to be able to tie how fast the wheels spin to how fast the train is moving forward.

I think that this is not so complicated as it seems at first glance:

 

Considering that you can move groups of objects in world editor there is only a user interface missing for using these functions in game also. The same way a boat can be moved through the ocean and keeping the front of it in the direction of movement, you could "drive" a car or fly e.g. a helicopter in the vicinity of your "home", carrying the avatars, which use their own sight system (1st person, 3rd person or free camera) to watch the ride/flight.

The only thing missing is the user interface like a remote control for modellling; no automatic is required, if you drive the boat or car or fly the helicopter or baloon or Zeppelin yourself.

Maybe if we had some premade moving object options that can get activated with simple triggers, imagine you will have to do some level of coding otherwise similar to how you need to in other places. Think if you need coding for it would be to complicated for most to figure out, plus if we have some pre-existing made ones would make it that size of object script aren't too big or complex either.

OMG, that would be so cool.  3DX gave us cars that we can drive.  (well sit in at least) But to moving cars that would be amazing.  As Kimmy says pre-existing OMG getting excited again.  Is it to much to ask for , ooh pls can we get this one.  we could have race days.  OMG please pretty please with lovely cream on top. :P

Would love to have this and it isn't very difficult.. 15  year old's make Unity games with tanks, cars, etc and this guy made a simple elevator in 7 mins.

 

But then again, neither would  adding a decent pair of swim trunks for men be either.

Animated objects or something else is a good stuff if this is good created. Amount of work and time is not our problem, but the problem of developers. Poll was not about when.., but about the particular feature. Maybe not at first place in devs schedule and not at second, but anyway it is a good idea to realize in next year or century.  :lol: 

Question was "Should the world editor have moving objects?".  My voted yes, why not?
