After experimenting with the Magic Carpet vehicle, I found that these pieces of code make it hover:
hoverHeight = 2.0;
createHoverHeight = 2.0;
Now, I want to make this hovering effect work on other vehicles. How would I go about doing this?
Would I use one or both of those pieces of code, or would I need something entirely different piece to get it to work?
My last resort is invisible wheels, which I really would prefer to go this route instead.
(On the theory that the above code is all I would need to get it to work)
Let's say for example I wanted the Jeep to hover, where would I stick the code/what would I do to get this to work?
