What do you do in the first level? I've found the pulse cannon, but I can't seem to find anything else. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Point blindly into the asteroid belt, and use the "Select Hostile" key. When the word "Zerbilite" comes up, go to it. You'll most likely find a ship part.

Hmm...I seem to remember having a similar problem when I started that plug, thought it was a while ago. Let me remember...
Ah yes. I remember the first level involved scouting out the space debris of a broken-up ship. You had to fly among the asteroids untill you found other drifting parts, then you would get further instructions from hight command.
Um....thats about all I can remember -- sorry! Maybe someone else will know more

Fly up and down the asteriod belt at 1:16 view looking for a box thats not moving. That will be the second piece. continue until you've found them all Posted Image

Beaten to the punch.

I hadn't thought of the zerbelite-hunting technique for finding the pieces when I originally created the plug, actually. I expected everyone to pick the non-moving squares...

Well, people always will find creative ways of getting around any problem you try to set for them.

Okay, I guess I'll ask another question here (rather than opening a new topic). What's up with level 8? I can take out everyone but the Heavy Destroyer, and then I go over the planet. I press the special weapons button, and my probes do one of two things: (1) Either they head off towards the destroyer or (2) they stay still and eventually disappear. They won't land on the planet. Any help would be 'ppreciated. Thanks guys (or girls).

I'm guessing it's similar to Assault Transports - make sure you have the planet selected as your target, and engage autopilot. (If engaging autopilot doesn't automatically launch them, fire manually)

I'm fairly certain I used the "Create Object; Inherit Destination" command for the probes, so make sure you have the planet selected when you attempt to launch them. I'm not sure if I set the AI flags for the Heavy Destroyer for arrival actions, so autopilot might not work.

Hey Sundered, how did you program it so that when you went past the star, you got dammaged?

By the way, your footsteps plug is the best i've ever played! thanks

He used "Object Farther Than."

Actually, I used a series of points with Proximity conditions, to give the effect of a "magnetosphere" around the planet. But it was a good guess.
