A AHuman could have hands at the exact same spot as the shoulder, and also have the ability to aim upwards.

Just set the AimRange to pi/2 if you want to be able to aim straight up with a crab.

Just played this.

Very, very good. Suspension is excellent.

whats all this Pi we are talking about now... bah who cares I can't even do my own lua... Good job on the tank thing however I would like to see it have a high velocity cannon (like a real cannon) or maybe a rail gun... also could you make the tank gib from like a grenade or bomb so it could be easily transported by airship)

I'm sick of Dummy Frankenstein appearance mods, (edit:no longer applies to the mod) but the scripted functions here are amazing.
And I will never understand them.

This is nice! I love the car. Are you going to add onto this?

Planning to some work on the sprites, make another mission and maybe add a version of the armored car with different weapons, but I'm working on some other things at the moment so it will take a while.

The code for the car is actually pretty simple, apply downward force to the wheels, and move the body above them.

Simple, but still complex enough to be misunderstood I see.

I really love the armored car, makes for a fun support option when you are getting overrun.

Might I suggest a Gears of War Centuar tank esque-look for it if you decide to resprite? Honestly that's the first thought that popped into my head when I saw your armored car, course it has 6 wheels but hey, that looks even cooler. Not to mention the main gun feels a bit...weak, not to say it is but I was hoping for a roaring cannon of a gun.

Either way, this is a wonderful innovation and really hope to see gunships and wheeled vehicles springing up in mods sometime soon.

Oh god, you just reminded me of Gears of Awesome... *shivers*

A tank would be a good idea, although I don't quite see how the tank treads would work... I know the mammoth tank had tank treads, but those are kinda messed up. If we could find a ways to make Actual treads, though...

the APC reminds me of the R.A.T from Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. and that is awesome :D

Updated: New mission, better sprites and lots of bug fixes.

Also, I was probably wrong about this:

Already tried it, but it never worked.
I suspect terrain destruction is reduced slightly if moveoutofterrain is applide every frame.
