| Post subject: | ACrab and falling over |
So, I remember a while back somebody was trying to make a walking tank thing in B18. During that thread, it was mentioned that AHuman actors come pre-set with some variable that makes sure they try their very best to keep their bodies upright. An ACrab-type actor, though, doesn't really seem to have this quality. I'm trying to make an ACrab that flies (yes, you can give them jetpacks), but it just falls over in mid-air. Does anyone know the variable thats needed to set that? In that old thread, it was said that it is KeepUprightConstraints. That didn't work, though. CC told me it wasn't recognized. |

It's not any actual variable. In CC, normal AHuman actors are set by the game to be constrained vertically. You can't shift them; it doesn't really work. This constraint can be broken by a large impact, but virtually always they are aligned up and down. But ACrabs don't have this. They tilt as they climb; it's the only realistic way for them to work, and short of adding a whole lot of basically unnecessary code, it's not practical or possible. So, ACrabs tilt, can't be helped, AHumans don't, can't be helped. |

I just need to figure out how to animate the thing a bit more nicely. |

Are you the guy that created that walking flying dropship tank with the green clone head and feet because that would solve alot of problems seeing as we now have the ability to create four legged actors. |

Nope, that was somebody else. It was in that thread I heard about that mythical variable though. |
