By removing one leg from the ACrab actor, could you then make a tripod? It wouldn't walk very well (nor would it with 4 legs) bu it would be awesome! Im just not good at all those walking paths, and other paths, and im already making a mod. But is it possible

If only we knew how to mess with walkpaths, we could a heck of alot more then we are now. If we did know how to mess with walkpaths, we could just set it so the 2 legs walk in the same way, hey presto, illusion of 3 legs, but like CC said above, it would topple over. |

You could do it with three legs, yes. But consider, this is a 2D game. Therefore you'd need to have 2 legs on one side and one on the other. Now let's say we're talking about a tall tripod, like the Half-Life strider (because, honestly, there's no point make "Crab" sized tripods because you wouldn't notice. You might have the stroder walking around on a hill lasering things or something, and there's this one clone in front of you that you want to kill. Code: O- -----// \-------C----- But then this skeleton comes up behind you with a flak cannon. Now you have two options, you leave the skeleton alone and kill the clone. Code: O- --S---// \-------X----- Then you are blown up by the exploding flak OR, you turn around to kill the skeleton. Code: -O --S---/ \\-------C----- Then it shoots you in the front leg. Oh dear. Code: -O --S-----\\------C----- You can't balance on those two legs there, so you fall over and become useless. Then the skeleton blows you up. |

just make the legs invicible and the pod destroy able like in halflife. Then you could use them to something |

Well, I do know how to mess with walkpaths. 2 legs falls over. 3 legs works if you know what you are doing. But they always stick straight out infront of you, and look silly,everytime before they take a step. And I of all people know how much this forum cares about cosmetics. |

I think he's getting at making striders. It would only work if the legs, as said in a post above, were insanely strong compared to the head. |

What if the 2 legs were at the front? I can imagine a crab standing on 2 legs, though it might struggle slightly. |
