Making my dragon fly.

I did not know which forum to post this in so I just made a few of these threads (animation, general, and programming).
How can I make my dragon fly? Is there a way to change gravity like in TGB? Does it have anything to do with the bounds box? Please I need help.
I'm trying to do this: img207.imageshack.us/img207/9561/ggpicturesb0.png
Where you may walk anytime, then jump, and then start flying. I know this is going to be hard but I'm willing to try.

To answer your question, I'll ask another, how long is a piece of string?
My point is, you're question is far to broad. I suggest you check out the TGB tutorials available, they will cover most points, like movement and what not.
Good luck.

... No, I am using TGE. I am wondering IF I could change it just like people do in TGB.

Getting a dragon to fly, or anything for that matter is not a simple task. But you might be able to get it working by useing a flying vehicle.

Regardless of where and how many places you post the same questing- now that someone is replying, dont use your other repeating posts (its clutter-some). Most people read the forums by refreshing the 'Unread Posts', so no matter where your inquiry is located it will be seen.Getting a dragon to fly, or anything for that matter is not a simple task.

Well I can't find anything in that. I may be able to use that package in it though. I will try useing it but anyone can help.

But it actually could be as simple as making the Dragon an animated ITEM (using the ITEM class), and apply Impulse to make it 'fly'.

Well, the idea would be to use the flying vehicle class, and control the dragon as an AI. But it actually could be as simple as making the Dragon an animated ITEM (using the ITEM class), and apply Impulse to make it 'fly'.

Actually I found a "Make character fly" thread on how to do it.
