Was working on my Pirates build and I thought "How awesome would it be to have a large Rowboat that had a mounted Pirate cannon to the back?"

Pretty awesome... I'm thinking it could be a larger boat with a larger and raised back end, that is where the Pirate Cannon could sit. It would obviously be able to fit more people being larger, but I think the best way would be for the Driver in front with 1 passenger on each side in the back to seat 3 more people (plus the cannon shooter, obviously) Possibly a passenger or 2 that could sit UNDER the cannon?

could look like this :)

Edit: Heres some pics of a demo boat I built.

Also, Treynolds told me he was modeling this, so we really just need a scripter (providing that his boat doesn't suck ;P)

You could do this with a rowboat and the cannon.
You'd need two spawns and vehicle events.

This is a silly way to do it and looks really bad, not only that but you can't SCRIPT a vehicle to change places while inside a vehicle, so you would not be able to drive the boat.

Yes, but a bit bigger

Oh, so you want a scripted vehicle.
Modify the tank script to mount the cannon on the custom boat model.

Updated OP with pics that don't suck

Don't forget they should have oar animations.

Jay the Cartoonist · March 22, 2011, 09:22:19 PM

Meh oars would be weird since defaults don't have oars

Default is weird for not including oars.

Ya, the default should have oars.

Jay the Cartoonist · March 23, 2011, 02:22:47 PM

thats very true, but I think it should keep the same style :P

Lørd Tøny · March 23, 2011, 03:24:48 PM

What about a mast and a steering wheel?

Treynolds416 · March 23, 2011, 03:32:41 PM

Treynolds is on the case!

Hoorah!!!

Okay guys.

So apparently Jirue thinks that this...

...does not match the default boat style

I think he's just being overly perfectionist, but I would like to know what the community thinks.

Note: This picture is just a preview. The color will be fixed and I will add oarlocks. Also, I just realized that my player was still shrunken when I took this.
