Adding wheels

SL!P · Post by **SL!P** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 1:52 pm

Simple question, I need to know how to add wheels to a physics tag.

And also, If you might, how to make antigrav wheels as opposed to warthog/scorpion wheels.

Antigrav wheels are easy...but the first thing i wouldnt have a clue.

Look at the Ghost's physics and change the stuff at the bottom of the options for the warthog.

Well, I have a scripter.

If there's a way of doing it, thats the way, I just need to know how.

scripts have nothing to do with physics and wheels.

I'm trying to add wheels, raw.

I'm trying to add wheels to lifepod physics.

I didn't wanna say that cus I was afraid if someone knew how to add wheels, he'd do it and credit himself with the first well-working lifepod.

"first well working lifepod"

are you saying about that odd bug where u enter the lifepod and it doesnt move?

mega lols. this is kind of funny.

Don't you mean like adding a collision model for wheels?

Please don't tell me you're making a lifepod like a ground vehicle.

And you shouldn't act like someone's going to copy this preposterous idea. It can be done in 20 minutes using the Halo Editing Kit, then if you want it for PC, just convert it with Harbinger.

Also, that bug with the lifepod is easy to fix. Just input every setting in the Pelican tag into the Lifepod's tag. Then edit it to your liking.

No, not coll models for wheels, wheels in the physics tag.

For instance, the warthog has 4

The banshee has 3 (left/right wing, back)

how do I add wheels to a physics meta tag??

What's wrong with doing something creative, and new? I think it's a great idea, hell, if SL!P can pull it off, i'd download it.

Anyways, I'm not sure SL!P, but I was thinking of the following.:

Open your map in HHT
Go to the "[vehi] vehicles/lifepod/lifepod".
Swap the "phys" tag from "vehicles/lifepod/lifepod' to "vehicles/warthog/warthog"

Maybe that will work, I'm not sure.

Ok, I've gotten the lifepod to work as a ground vehicle

proof is here:

But
The first 1/4 of te vehicle can go stair through walls and invisable sides of the vehicle drag against walls in tight spots.

Long->Short
I got it to work, but it is glitchy-ish.

The lifepod does have a glitch with its collision...it can go through walls.

I do not think there is a fix for that.

CE, well I have seen a few. But I think it is the SBSP's collision and not the vehicles that keeps it from sliding through the side of a map.

SL!P · Post by **SL!P** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 5:47 am

Um...

I don't have CE

I just need to know 2 things
1>Can I add wheels to a physics metafile
2>If so, how?
