I was thinking like how the rc biplane has a mini player inside it could you do that?
Well, yeah, it'll be a playertype vehicle, so the player will simply sit inside. That was to be expected. However, for people outside, it won't matter, because the windshield will be opaque, not see-through.
Also, with a neat coding trick, I'm going to make the right click usable for secondary weapons by making the client's control object the mech itself.
