Player Plane finding

[jollyjack]

Is there a trick to find the player (plane or tank) in the ME quickly?

Got a downloaded mission with a great number of planes, and i want to change something to the player ...

Look for the one with most of the green lines running to it. That should at least be in the same group.

Other way is to check from the .mission file which plane has "AILevel = 0;" and check e.g. the name of the plane and then search in ME.

Yes if you have a design discipline. This means having naming conventions and staying with them. In all my missions the player's plane is called Player Plane whatever type or model. In my missions the names are detailed and correspond to the function/action/type etc. It is important that you have your naming convention and then keep it.

In this way I have the Player Plane  immediately whatever the complexity. But I can also find easily many other objects or groups.

i am just working more and more with the selection tool to group and un group things. That ME is an amazing piece of work.
