Author Topic: Build your own vehicles?  (Read 2091 times)

     This is kinda a long shot but Ive always hated how i can never go and walk around on some big vehicle without getting in it or falling off. Last night i thought of a mod or update for Blockland that gave you the plates called vehicle plates on which you could build and whatever was on top of it was your vehicle. The plates could vary in size so that you could make all sorts of vehicles from just a go-kart to a star cruiser and bring you vehicle builds to life.
     Some people might ask "Well if i build a plane how will the vehicle plate know that i want it to fly or drive etc.?" i also thought about this and i was thinking that if you wrench a vehicle plate a gui comes up that lets you set you vehicle's speed, type of movement, etc. I was also thinking that you could actually walk around in these vehicles but then how would you mount them? you could have these bricks called mount brick that you click or touch and for events you could have like OnPlayerTouch > Seat > mount.



tell me what you think

Pretty impossible, sorry dude. It's an idea a lot of people have had.

You can already make your own vehicles, it is called scripting and modelling.

Pretty but NOT impossible... maybe if we gather ALL the eventer, scripters and maybe modelers (For vehicle bricks) We should be able to do it.

He is talking about build a vehicle with bricks and the with an event make it drivable. Like roblox.

There is a game called Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, you may want to play that...

There was one of these topics a few days ago.

Doesn't anybody search anymore? D:

He's not saying it's impossible because it's hard, but because, it's impossible with the current engine.

Kaje was working on that, I remember his "Vehicle Base" on his testing server, but I'm not sure if he ever finished it,

That wasn't what he was doing, he just made it because he wanted to model something off of a lego car base.

well ill try to write the sript but that would take like months!

As far as I've gathered, it is impossible. There would have to be an engine fix/change/upgrade or something for this to even remotely work.

completely possible but unless every fricking scripter comes together it will take years upon yeas to make

my idea is a specialized vehicle spawn with a flying a boat and a car vehicle for it
then you can build on it and there are events that only work for it also then you could use the gui mentioned before to adjust size of baseplate once you click confirm the baseplate cant be modified unless you get a special type of wrench

 i will update reply later i g2g to lunch ill add a bit more later

Yea i tried downloading milkshape and making a model and it was wicked hard. I couldnt even figure out how to like put things together but then again i probably just need lessons or practice. Scripting is a whole different story though i dont have the slightest clue about it lol. The closest i got to scripting was fixing glitches in the console. Though i would really like to be a scripter

Know what you're talking about.
I've met a few of the best scripters on Blockland, and it can't be done without massive changes.

i had not finished my idea and it is compleatly posable if all the scripters work on it and i do know a few people who could get it done who dont script for BL
