Snowboard [v.1.2.1]
    Time to hit the slopes… er, Mod Terrain!



 

I love to snowboard, so I made this. Yay.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8kl6a6lrtc

Key features:

• Semi-realistic performance.
• Responsive.
• Two styles - white & black trims!
• Neato-pa-teato model.
• Colorable; your board will be the same color as your paint can.

Some things to note:

Only practical in third person. Fixed by 1.2.0 update.
• Can get stuck on bricks and Mod Terrain; pull up before hitting ramps.
• Best used with arrow keys instead of mouse (in certain scenarios).
• Must download addon to use forward facing first person view.

That last one? It’s occasionally pretty important, unless you have serious mouse skills. Unlike the skis, the snowboard is pretty sensitive (so epic tricks can be performed). As a result, it’s much easier to control and stick the landings when you use your arrow keys instead of the mouse steering. Don’t know how to do this? Follow these instructions:

1. Go to Options.
2. Click Controls.
3. Scroll down until you see the key bind area for Looking/Turning.
4. Set Turn Left/Right to their corresponding keys.
5. Set Look Down as the up arrow and Look Up as the down arrow. This emulates the inverted control style of a flight simulator. If you’d prefer it reversed, nothing’s stopping you.

Now you can use your arrow keys to control the snowboard. To adjust look sensitivity (keys only), do the following.

1. Go to Options.
2. Click Controls.
3. Adjust Keyboard Turn Rate to desired sensitivity.

For those who use their arrow keys for scrolling, I suggest you find a different set of keys to do the say function, set up similarly to WASD. Otherwise, you’re stuck with the trackpad (good luck)…

How 2 Trix - Trick Basics:

Ramp: Go down ramp, pulling up just before hitting the up-ramp.

Jump (on flat ground): Get going fast, then pull up. The board will “jump” into the air a little. Hit spacebar.

360º: Turn left/right sharply just before getting air, and continue to hold until the trick is complete.

Flip: Continue to pull up after you’re airborne.

Changelog:
[1.1.0]
• Added jump feature, hit spacebar to perform a jump.

[1.2.0]
• Added forward facing first person view; download addon to use! Thanks to Thorfin25 for helping me with this.
• Reduced uneccesarily large wheel size.
• Added raycast check to decrease number of faulty tumbles when colliding upright with the ground.

[1.2.1]
• Fixed bug that prevented forward-facing first person view to be used.

ooo, nice.

Will go well on my snowball fight server. Of course, it'll be close to, if not totally useless on a near-flat arena that's 256x256 studs, but it fits with the theme.


Video coming soon, by the way. :)


this looks pretty nice
i'm gonna download it

this looks pretty cool




Updated OP, video link!

Huh?

Custom map on my brother's server, we made it.

The snowboard looks fantastic in that video, I definitely need to try this out sometime!
