 Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. zalo wrote: I made a clone train. This is prolly the best yer gonna get.  They all walk at the same time. It is a clone holding a clone etc. Just fix the holding paths, and walla, all the feet touch the ground and you have a centipede actor. thats the same as a centaur. you just have to make another actor, without arms, head, or hands, and a differnatly shaped body, and attatch it that way. could you post your centipede btw? i'd like to study it so i can make sure i do mine right, (i suck at actors, i wanna make sure i understand the code) it can still hold weapons and shoot, right?

Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. That was made in the activities.ini folder. I'm currently working on strapping a dropship to a clones legs but i can't make the dropship an MOSrotating.

Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. The problem here is that CopyOf assumes that the target and source objects are of the same class.
It errors otherwise.

It errors otherwise. arms, legs, heads, bodys, and the finished product, are all actors, right?

And they are specialized actors with their own special classes( AddActor = Leg, Arm, etc) I did some work on ths a while ago but determined that there wasn't much use. Also, 4-legged actors, even if they did work like this, would still be glitchy as hell.

Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. I think we're all asking ourselfes if anyone is going to make a mod using this information soon... I ask the same, and from the looks of Zalo's clone train, I believe it's possible to make, let's say an AT-AT? Or something else ofcourse.

Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. ok, you guys are making it was more complicated that it should be. just make the arm into a CopyOf = LegBG/FG and reposition it to be x pixels away from the other legs and the same distance above the ground. then you can still put the hands anywhere you want, and this should work.

Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. Wow, that would be epic, if it didn't look like he was humping the guy.

Re: 4 legged actors, and how it might work. guess not. right now im having trouble getting my robot to do a simple CopyOf = Yellow Spark 1 when the Yellow Spark 1 is defined at the top of the page...
