Buildable vehicles are possible.

[Ladios]

They existed in vanilla.
The way the bricks are created now uses a different type of object than before, and thus as it stands we can't just place .blb bricks on a jeep.
Engine changes are not required for buildable vehicles, but any implementation we can get of them at this point would be very crap-tastic.

So it's possible but it'd suck.

Buildable vehicles in vanilla were possible but they were hard as forget to do because the build controls went all trippy.

[Space Guy]

Having a vehicle render a "base" model with a smaller/less optimised brick grid on top of it may work, but after more than a few bricks doing decent collisions would be really slow. (lots and lots of collision shapes when the Jeep only does it with one or two)

[Ladios]

If you added a scalable collision mesh that would work on the average position of bricks that might work. There are always the jack-asses though that would make a bunch of 1x16s jutting out in random places from their vehicle, though. :/

But it looks sooo cool though! D:

limit the size to an 8x16

for things as large as transport trucks to things as small as minibikes.

Well, this is unexpected.

[Pliny]

Would stuff like custom tanks with their own weapons be possible?

[Jorici]

This would be epic. Like make a tank with an evented turret....

A boy can dream, eh?

[phflack]

i was just thinking about this

a way to have things DL into the client while ingame and then send a check to the server saying that they have the files, which is a model which is a buildable vehicle?

[kompressor]

It is definitely possible, but doing it right is hard.

Yeah, my main reason for posting this is just because the whole "engine changes" prerequisite has bothered me every time I see some noob spouting off the term like a run-down fire hydrant.

[MrMulch]

I heard that the new torque engine uses Havock physics. Could this be implemented into Blockland?
