movement of objects

[SS-Schut=DMS=]

Sup people,

since you all seem like people with a lot of knowledge about mapmaking i got the following question for you all.

Is it possible to make a penguin in df2 stop moving over the map. The critter just keeps walking like an unstoppable juggernaut. No wall nor building stops the little guy. I tried to box him in and put him in the ground but he keeps going and going and going like that darn duracel bunny.

well i dont actually remember them moving at all but u could try making it 'guarding' 'blind' 'deaf' and whatever else looks appropriate when u select it and right click > item attributes.

oh believe me they move allright hehe.

The penguin has no item attributes that can be set so that won't work either. i tried setting his z value at -1 but that won't stop him.

The penguin is sorta the mascotte of DMS so i wanna put the little dude in everyone of my maps.

If anyone knows a trick which could the little badass bird to a halt please tell me.

Well I gave it a go for you,But the only way I could stop him in his tracks was by putting a bullet in the poor buggers head.
Sorry m8

here is an idea, try an event that kills him as soon as the map starts, set a z level and rotate him so when he dies he falls off his back standing up, verse standing up to falling on his face.

busy at the moment or I'd check it for you, but with DF2 it seems logical and doable on paper

Nope that dont work either when I could not stop him,I tried that way and still didnt work.

Ah well guess i got no choice now then to make evil tux=DMS= walk around till someone kills the little dude. But believe me the DMS legion will exact vengeance on the one that kills him with full force hehe.

Well thanks anyway for the trouble guys.

Been trying that for a long time but i havent found the solution also.

those stupid penguins always go east by the way lol.

hey Schut! today is your lucky day!

Now I have not got him to stand still yet but I have got him to follow waypoints. So you can keep them in one certain area of the map. If you are still interested reply.

PS I never give up on something I made vertical gates move so stopping a penguin will happen!

cool tell me tell me tell me lol
