Nice models.
I really want the catapult and barrel :)

Give the top of the catapult a seat mount. Then, you can either load a "Cannonball" item (big solid projectile that smashes bricks/people, but must be manually inserted!) or have a player jump in the vehicle to be fired over enemy walls and defences.

Also, it should be aimable like a Tank Turret but play an animation when it fires.
This is a great idea, but that's why I need someone who can script this.  I have no idea how to make it shoot people.  And the catapult does have an animation.  It fires, bounces off the wood for a little realism and then is wound back into place slowly.

I could make it fire but I would need help with gravity.

I have already made a barrel, I like the bat though.

Yeah your barrel is nice but I want one that doesn't explode(I hope I'm thinking about the same one as you).  Just a plain empty barrel.

Idea for barrel: Remove the top and have someone make it into a brick you can hide inside of.

Or maybe a bottomless vehicle that you can "walk" (using invisible wheels) around in while being hidden beneath the metal.  And is there anymore suggestions for the semi or is it ready to be given to heedicalking to script?

I say that both are great ideas. If possible, try and get someone to script both of those.

catapult should launch flaming barrels that explode.
No make it fire flaming baby heads

What's the difference between a catapult and a trebuchet?

What's the difference between a catapult and a trebuchet?
Trebuchets use counterbalance and are much taller,and effective while catapults use built-up pressure.
Trebuchet:
Tall
Effective
Stationary
Hurdles objects high
Catapult:
Short
Not as effective
Movable
Hurdles objects far

How can you say one is more effective then the other after saying they perform different tasks?
EDIT: And they both moved, btw. Who the forget builds a stationary catapult/trebuchet...?


Ontopic: Really love the models, keep up the great work. :D

It's more-or-less obvious.

I really like your models, i hope you make these! darn i need to learn to script.
