Author Topic: Kain's VTOL model! NEEDS TO BE SCRIPTED!  (Read 2198 times)

So, I finally joined the forums, and with good reason. I have a hovering VTOL model that is in dire need of a good script. I made it using SketchUp, because I honestly hate the overall mechanics of Milkshape 3D, and therefore have no desire to spend any of my money on it. Anyway, the closest I can get to a .dts in SketchUp is a .dae (COLLADA) file, so it still needs to be converted to a .dts. I heard there are ways to do that using blender.

Below are some pictures of my model. I'm hoping that I can get Pi to script it, because I am in love with his VTOL add-on, and I think my model would work great with his script. That may be a bit too much to ask for though, considering I don't actually know Pi at all :3. So, yeah, here it is, message me via here or RTB if you would like to take a stab at scripting this baby. Thanks to you all, and check out my decals on RTB if you ever get bored! :D

I just used bits and pieces of other scripts. I used some other helicopter scripts, I used shootonclick and I used the Height Control. And I used Heed's crash control script. Nice model, by the way.

Also, I thought this was Khain at first...

Hearing that from some recognizable names means a lot, thanks :)

Question: How do you get a bunch of snippets from multiple add-ons to all work together in a single script? You explained how you used sections from various helicopter vehicles to make a script, and you make it sound so easy... I just feel so stupid, hahaha  

Who's Khain?

EDIT: Nvm, I know who Khain is now. Haha.

If something looks important, example something that says "function helicopterlift" or something, copy everything under it, to the last "}".

Who's Khain?
Khain is the best modeler for Blockland ever.

Ha I inboxed him apologizing in advance for any confusion of our names :P Anyway, I copied some script, but I dont even know how to test it... Can someone who knows what they're doing help me turn this model into a good vehicle please? It could be fun! And it could make me feel less stupid, lol. Anybody interested?


From the pictures it looks like it was made in SketchUp, in which case you're going to need to do some exporting and resizing to make it work.
