Semi-custom vehicles

[zmaster]

Is there a way to make vehicles with mount points where you could dynamically mount things such as the AA turret or tank cannon?

That would be cool, like you collect random parts and add them onto a car.

Yea. But im pretty sure its impossible.

[Lørd Tøny]

Yea. But im pretty sure its impossible.

So was building your own working vehicles out of bricks.

Huh?

It's not.
You can do it with the console.

But in terms of full customization, like headlights, hood, etc, it would be very buggy.

[phflack]

i don't see why not, with a gui or events?
i think an extension to vehicle events would be best

[mp7964]

The parts would have to be bots, because only bots can mount onto vehicles, but yes this is feasible.

Even with customization events, like onactivate>vehicle>setHood>hood1, the function called would simply use the command to mount the bot to a certain mountpoint. To get the players not to be able to mount is another story...

That's actually quite easy.

I like this, too bad I can't model or I'd do it.

wouldn't you mount the bots as pre existing datablocks, like an aa turret.

[Mushroom man]

I have NEVER seen a suggestion receive so much positive attention!

[The Corporation]

Same suggestion, different format.

[soba]

Very possible, would love to see this made, its just mounting images to a vehicle is all too

[Mega-Bear]

Just mounting a model to a vehicle's slots. Shouldn't be hard at all for an experienced add-on maker, but giving the mounted models a use might be a challenge.

Anyone care to make a set of little knick-knacks you would like to see on the jeep, making it the correct size and sending it to me? maybe I could do it...
