Hi, I'm making a dropship, but every time I bring it down it explodes for no reason, any ideas? Also, I have multiple frames for it, and have the framecount set to the appropriate number, but it only shows the first frame in game. Can anyone help me? |

You should check the strength of the thrusters you're using vs the strength of the dropship. Check JointStrengths, Mass of the parts, and GibWound/GibImulse limits. Any of these could affect your dropships durability. As for the frame animations, you need more than just framecount. You need two variables under it: SpriteAnimMode = X (Where X is a number 0-7, 0 is NoAnimation, 1 is Loop through frames, and 2 is Random, others are usually unused.) SpriteAnimDuration = Y (Where Y is the time between frames) However, I'm not sure that dropships can even animate. But then again I've never tried. |

whitty made an animated dropship before, so it's probably possible. |

Animating using Lua is both possible and easy for craft. If you need a script I can post one. |

That helped, also Grif, a lua script would be helpful. |

You can animate the hull in the ini? Code: SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = NameOfMod.rte/Crafts/CraftName/DropshipHull.bmp FrameCount = 2 //Number of frames here SpriteAnimMode = 1 SpriteAnimDuration = 800 Example Result:  CBM02 |

Hah, it's funny that you're doing a police thing. I had sketched out some GALACPOL officers and rockets a week ago or so. Basically Tradestar-bases Galactic Police. This won't look bad when shaded. |

I have loads of other private factions that are much better sprited. I'm sure your faction will be miles better.  On Topic: I hope that's kindda what you are looking for Einz. |
