Cirevam Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 While testing the limits of the skid I made it drive into the deep concave part by FF's waterfall base (the one by the waterfall, not the one next to the Power Station). The game didn't like it. The wheels started flying above the vehicle and the vehicle itself started to GET DOWN and flipped upside down into the ground, then disappeared. The vehicle was still there, so I clicked it and told it to move. It only appeared when moving, then went invisible. The wheels never came back, and trying to go into 1st or 2nd person crashed the game. Lesson learned; when nulls go out of bounds they cause bad things.

TheDoctor Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 So... You drove on a steep decline and the wheels asploded? Can you make a video and just set to unlisted on YouTube to see what you mean? You also might want to try it with normal vehicles and see what happens to them. Intresting though... I'm going to assume this is also involved with one or more of the LWS files, like the idle animation. Another idea. Perhaps model a set of backup wheels directly onto the chasis model so at least li looks like the wheels are still there. Make them a bit smaller so you can't see them normally.

Cirevam Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 I would record this but Fraps isn't letting the game run at all. Why? No clue. My computer just likes to change how programs work every once in a while. If I can fix it or get a recorder that actually works then you'll get your video. Don't suggest ones, I already know all of them. DISREGARD THIS, I EAT ENERGY CRYSTALS Video here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLPHA Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Heh, this happens to me but with raiders. If the raider is struck by a caffeine raider while he is walking down a slope in shoulder view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWNZOR Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That's freaky! Do you have an idea on how to get around this, or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyria Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 How Did You Make It So The Level Didn't End When You Reached That Base? It Always Ends When I Reach The Base. CFG Magicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Do you have an idea on how to get around this, or no? Yes: avoid crazy heightmaps. How Did You Make It So The Level Didn't End When You Reached That Base? NoNERPs. With debug keys enabled, press F12. You can see the words in the top left corner when it's active.

RockmoddeR Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Maybe is has something to do with the colradius... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amauros Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Maybe is has something to do with the colradius... Yeah like the side of the vehicle is hitting the tile? Try commenting it out Cire. (unless you already have...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWNZOR Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Do other [large] vehicles react like this? If so, then it's not something easily fixed on this one vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 The Tunnel Transport doesn't seem to have this problem, neither does the Small Transport Truck despite its wheels going above the driver's head. It's only the skid that does this. Though I did make the colradius and height smaller than the Loader Dozer's, it may be that the collision mesh is ending up somewhere outside of the map since the vehicle is so low. That explains how the Tunnel Transport is unaffected, but the Howitzer is also unaffected and that vehicle is even lower to the ground as well as being much wider. I think it's just something with the way the tyre nulls are placed. They're pretty close together, and the vehicle is scaled up 1.5x, so without scaling they're about as close together as the Hover Scout's wheels.

TheDoctor Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ahha. I see. The wheels fliped inside. How strange. A few other things. 1. I was half expecting the skid to scoop up some rubble and fling it behind it. 'twould be funnier. 2. See what happens when you go up a steep incline? 3. Of all the video catagories, lol.

LMS Engineer Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It's not a loader dozer , it's a floater dozer with Back to the Future rocket wheel mods. Now all it needs is a flux capacitor........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aLPHA Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 What's the deal with the teleporting raider? I could just barely make out what you put in the white letters over the white background What is the music to that video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 I could just barely make out what you put in the white letters over the white background What is the music to that video? 1) So then you can barely make out that it's a temporary animation to prove that I could fix the floating raider problem. 2) Vengence. It's a keygen song. I'm not worrying about the full details right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
