Re: Detachable armor plating? Yeah.. I did forget the jetpack.
But, unless you made a circle that surrounded the actor, it wouldn't really defend you very well.

Re: Detachable armor plating? And here FinnCorp comes in:
You can have multiple jetpacks, but only first one in list will work.
This way, you can make many "jetpacks" which work like shields.
This is tested and is fact.
Fippe over and out.

Re: Detachable armor plating? Oh wow. Never knew that.
This could be used in so many ways... Shame I can't be bothered.

Re: Detachable armor plating? Huh. I can add more than two engines, they just dont thrust, which is just good for an armor... so no, it shouldn't be impossible.

Re: Detachable armor plating? Alternately, if they move in syncronization with the engines, instead of making them generic spheres, you could make them scaled version of the engine, but hollowed out. That way, it really would be like armor plating (and not some cheap-looking bubble)

make the thrusters gib into new thrusters with less armor?
either it will work and the thrusters will get smaller and weaker as you shoot them
OR
a single shot would hit the thrusters,
it would gib,
the dropship would flip
and you'd have a working thruster, without a dropship,
made to lift half a dropship with cargo,
do suddenly that thruster with NO dropship OR cargo
meaning W00000SH!!! up it goes
OHSN! RUNAWAY THRUSTERS! You are both unintelligible and ill informed. Scroll up, then edit this ♥♥♥♥ out of your post, please. Thrusters wouldn't function without the accompanying object; this ain't no damn GMOD.

Re: Detachable armor plating? Sorry to necro a bit, but I thought about just writing a small guide on adding armors to Dropships. 1. Open the dropship code. 2. Find this part Code: RThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Right Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = 49
Y = -3
LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3 3. Copy paste parts of it so it looks like this. (note: the amount of LThrusters is the amount of your armors. They can also be RThrusters if you feel like it.) Code: RThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Right Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = 49
Y = -3
LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3
LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3
LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3
LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3 4. Then change the new parts into something like this. Code: LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
InstanceName = Examplethingy
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Something.rte/something/something/Yourarmor.bmp
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3 5. Then just tweak the offsets right. Now you have added an armor to your ship, and by adding these lines to it like this... Code: LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
InstanceName = Examplethingy
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Something.rte/something/something/Yourarmor.bmp
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3
GibImpulseLimit = 300 //These lines
GibWoundLimit = 10 // These lines ...You can tweak the strenght of the armours. 6. Now you just have one thing to do. Make some gibs. Code: LThruster = AEmitter
CopyOf = Drop Ship Left Engine
InstanceName = Examplethingy
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Something.rte/something/something/Yourarmor.bmp
ParentOffset = Vector
X = -49
Y = -3
AddGib = Gib //new line
GibParticle = MOSRotating //new line
CopyOf = Drop Ship Engine Gib A //new line
SpriteFile = ContentFile //new line
FilePath = Something.rte/something/something/Armorgib.bmp //new line
Count = 1 //new line
Spread = 2.25 //new line
MaxVelocity = 3 //new line
MinVelocity = 10 //new line
GibImpulseLimit = 300
GibWoundLimit = 10 And thats about it... Hope you like it! And now im late from school.. so I GOTTA RUN!!! AAGH!

Re: Detachable armor plating? Not qutie necro-y enough, but considering the potentially awesome update--I dont think anyone would mind.
Anyone want to give that a go and verify?
