� � � I need a bit of help with the Hoverboard (obviously). Most of my concern is that it only appears brown, and on the addon page it is on, it can clearly be painted. Another thing I ask is how I might be able to make it really hover, without invisible wheels.
� �

� � My last question up for bid is how I would make it an equippable vehicle, like the skis.

Thanks in advance.

I still think this is a great vehicle, probably one of the best.

For the brown problem, I have no idea. I had this problem too, and it was the main reason I deleted it from my server.

There IS a datablock type called HoverVehicleData, which is designed to make stuff float a specific distance from the ground at all times.
_{Remember my hover carpet? It uses that datablock, and I'm pretty sure you could code it somehow to use the hoverboard model.}
However, nobody has ever released a vehicle that uses that datablock, so it'd be a first for Blockland.

Finally, making an equippable vehicle like the skis isn't really possible without editing the player model. The ski model is a part of the player, in a weird way.

Although, you could look at the ski script if you just want the player to mount a vehicle from nowhere by using an item...

Ah, thank you, that helped a great deal, wish there were something I could do about the color because the Hoverboard is simply pwnsome.

did you reinstall it?

I believe it was hosted on BJWayMods, so you can't re-download it.

The hoverboard went brown a month after I got it because someone pandaied it up.

Reinstalling it doesnt solve anything. It is the same model, and the same script, every time. I think it might be an addon conflicting with the script; ive had that happen between my mac11 set and t21, and what happened was the macs just didnt allow the t21 to be in the item list.

idk just trying to help and everything worked for me right

You did help, reinstalling stuff normally fixes stuff, and I wish that were the case with the hoverboard.

That has nothing to do with it.
