Author Topic: Good boats  (Read 396 times)

So, there have been many boats attempted, and a few have turned out nice. However, I would really love to have boats that work well on a larger scale. Is there any possibility of this happening?

Also, I have a foolish idea. So, the limitations, overall, boil down to the problem of the boat floating like a bot, but moving like a vehicle. So why not create a bot and a vehicle, and control the vehicle from the bot and vice versa, allowing the vehicle to do tilting and steering and such, while the bot does the floating? I don't have any idea if this is possible, but couldn't you just set the velocity of each to be the same, and all that?

Pretty sure this has been done before. Way back in V8 though. Someone produced a script that let the jeep float on water, but I'm not sure if they got it to move. Long story short though, there's a forgetload of code to mess around with to even try this.

Interesting idea of using a bot to support a vehicle boat. Someone should try this.

I thought there was a slight possibility of it working.
The only thing is that the bot and the vehicle have to be completely separate other than sharing velocity and rotation and such. If one is mounted to the other or anything, it's ruined.
