Two (at first) Vehicle Questions

Post by Fluffy_the_ic »

Okay, I'm making a Seguay (spelling?)! So right now I have two questions. One: How do I make the treads be animated? Two: Do I put the hp_pilot where the waist will be or where the feet will be, or the head, or etc.?

For the first question have a look at this from the FAQ http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =36&t=8854

For the second start with the hp_pilot or driver or what ever you want to call it at the dummyroot position and see where it lines up in game. A lot of the time it is a hit and miss move it and try again but 0,0,0 is always a good starting point for a hover.

For a flyer put the hp_pilot pretty much where the pilot would be.

It's closer to a hover, but he's going to be standing on it, so wouldn't he just be standing on the ground?
Okay, everything makes sense to me in that except the Polygon ID part. What's that?
