Spinning Trommel Tunnels!

[ChrisDavid]

We have parabolic screens now and various other video billboards, but we don't have trommel tunnels yet. Those spinning vortex tunnels you commonly go through in dark rides. I think this an obvious object we should be able to place in a theme park game as sophisticated as this.

I'd love to see these in the game, obviously in various sizes/lengths, and as video billboards. Would you like to see these? [happy]
Perhaps even some other mechanical and animated video billboard pieces would be great too.

I love this idea!

yes please

It might take some time, but you can already do this with art shape walls or other pieces and light strips. Fisherman made a moving tunnel with billboards.

Has anyone been using the satellite dish video screens? I haven't seen them used much.

I do like this tunnel idea. [up][up]

The problem with the dish screens is that they rotate when the video plays. I wish they had given us stationary ones too.

I agree, or just code the option to stay still.

It's currently an issue with any piece that has both an animation and a screen - the parabolic screens and all of the new doors with screens on them. They pretty much just need a separate option in the sequencer to "play video" vs "play animation".

I'd say the upcoming Thememaker's Toolkit qualifies as "something new to add". We should be able to make some of these ourselves. Currently it's confirmed that we'll be able to animate -- that we'll be able to include billboarding on our imports hasn't been answered yet.
