I've discovered another goody:
the
flying havok:

Just modify the property of the actor Properties->Physics->InitialHavokState to Havok_Flying, and lift in height the patrol path, that's all!

That was aready touched (

If you just want the objects to move, you don't need havok_flying at all. I had some flying candles in my experiments and all you had to do is to give the object all necessary elevator properties, and then make a few scripts based on elevator or elevator floor marker links. It would be impressive if, as Beleg said, someone could make an animal with proper animations and actual flying behavior.

I am working on it. I spent this two days trying to get the fish swimming but it gave me problem :/ Something bones related I guess. I choosed the fish because is the simpliest animal to do.
After that I could move on the birds (or flying mammals).

Cool, hopefully you'll get some nice results. :thumb: Rigging and animation is like black magic to me, I can't even make model of a human being, so I'm sticking to textures and objects instead ;)

Problem solved.
Now there's anoter one: i set a 3D path, to simulate the swimming:

Maybe I have to ask in the Unreal forum... Damned editor!! :mad: Nothing that works, never!!

Not bad, not bad at all! :)

Tiens had a load of flying furniture in the Oldstone Castle.

I think this physics state just avoids that they drop to the ground and instead leaves them where they are. So if you really want to have fish moving up and down (which I think isn't really necessary) you probably have to attatch it to an elevator again.
