is was thinking about having floating platforms in a map. now i know u can just place cubes in the air and that would work. but how would i save it out if i wanted to animate the cubes with a little floating bob ( u know like its hovering in the air going up and down)?

I don't know if you would realy want to do that for an MP map, as soon as you steped on it you would start to lag...
But you could make the platform, give it a 'bob' and create a tile for it in LE

Useing the name of the tile, create a proxie in your map where ever you want the bobbing platform

But a Super Mario Renegade mod might be pretty funny...

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

ok....how about for more along the lines of an elevator for tanks? i figured a platform that comes down, sits for about 30 seconds, then goes up and sits for about 30 seconds, and keeps doing that in a loop.

Tanks don't work with elevators, your tank ends up being stuck. Tried it in the mission were you have to rescue mobius. Drove my tank into the elevator and that was the end of that.

You can do that really easily.

It's hard for me to explain in detail, because i'm pressed for time, but you can do it all in gmax.

Create the object you want to bob up and down in gmax.
Place it where you want it to start.

Change the frames-slider thing so it is about 60 seconds long (seconds not frames)

Set the first frame as the starting point. jump to 3rd second, set highest point.
Jump to like the 33 second mark, and set the highest point.
Jump to the 36 second mark and set the original point. jump to the 60 second mark, and set the original starting coordinates.

or something like that.

gmax should automatically fill everything in between to make the ups and downs smooth.
