Sorry bout double post, but if you just tap the ground and get stuck, you instantly become terrain.

saw the gibs you made, i love them but id love them more if there were more sub gibs of the larger particles. it makes the wreckage crumple better on the ground, but it will take more work, so only if you feel like it.

I'm not too fussed about making gibs, they're fairly easy especially when the sprite are already there and all i gotta do is split them up

an idea that woulnt be very hard:
make the gunner eject, or jump out (idk if the copter in question has ejection support or not) if the pilot is killed - this means that if they kill your pilot by shooting you through the window you get to keep a guy, who'll be safe from the silly thing zooming off and sploding.
how do to this one:
make the pilot an attachable, the breakwound should be an AEmitter (with suitable offset) that launches a gunner actor (with an attached smoke emitter if hes ejecting). give the pilot attachable a medium gibimpulselimit and gibwoundlimit. make him gib a dead pilot actor with some bullet holes.
the gunner should just eject now from the pilot attachable gibbing when the ship explodes anyway. simple

Yes, simple enough, for you! lol. I tried making him eject before as a gib, but even if i set the gib to having team = 0, it wouldn't gib as a controllable player, then I tried gibbing a dropship or a rocket with the player in its inventory, but that just made the game crash. I'll give your suggestion a try though. maybe I've been going about it the wrong way, and thats why it was crashing.

Edit: I finally made a guy gib out without it crashing, woo!!! lol. Now I can implement your emitter thingo for jetpack on a chair action, muhaha.

maybe make the gunner's head move when aiming too, as the pilot would be looking where youre going more likely..

When I was randomly trying to mess with a dummy just before I got into this I somehow made parts which rotated with the head but weren't attached to it, I have no idea how I did it and I have already deleted the .ini file cause it was so messed up.

and yes, both will fire at the same time, just like using the darklone knife with either of the pistols. thats a shield/weapon error..

Don't buy chopper in a dropship, cuz it will crash your game when it gibs

[edit]

I am impressed

And now I'm not

Would you care if I made a custom pilot sprite for the mod?

Er... Nachos, 90% of actors are exactly the same proportions as the in-game ones. As long as you don't change the height, you can modify the offsets without writing new walkpaths. It's simple man, I've made tonnes of actors and I have no idea how to do atom groups and walkpaths yet!
