is it possible for you to make different pieces or bricks that have special properties that when you put them togetther in the right way, they stick together and become a ridable, moving vehicle?

Impossible with the current engine code.

oh ok, but what about in v11? you think you could make it possible then?

Me? I don't have access to the engine source.

There haven't been any announced plans to do anything in v11 apart from the Brick Physics and bug fixes. The physics is an effect when you destroy bricks - it doesn't affect gameplay and won't allow you to make vehicles from bricks like that.

in v0002 we had a baseplate with wheels, so you could build something on it. would a re-release be possible form that vehicle?

No due to that not having a grid system as we do. This is all the downfall of the grid system. We can build huge structures but not have them move without some sort of bypass as trader is doing with doors and elevators.

i mean make your own bricks that CAN do that and put them in thier own section. not use normal bricks.

They would cause lag, due to using static shapes, if there are too many of them.

dude its IMPOSSIBLE!!! lol at least that i know of

Impossible with the current engine code.
I believe Kaje is working on a new kind of buildable-brick car script and model, I was just on his server and i tried to get it working. So far, it works pretty well. next time you see him, ask him to release or just play around with his new car. Besides, it would be kind of cool to have a car with you in the front, and built on the back a huge Shoop Mah Woop thing. Also, on the truck there needs to be a -built-in brick, or else it's like building on the top of a magic carpet. It wont work.

O o

is that what the car base vehical is for?



How will you get that to work? Will you convert some static bricks into .dts shapes?
