 Dropship Issues 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?

Re: Dropship Issues 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.

Re: Dropship Issues whitty made an animated dropship before, so it's probably possible.

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

Re: Dropship Issues 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

Re: Dropship Issues 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.
