Hey

Well, I've always wanted to make my own custom vehicles.
There aren't any tuts on making them that work, only broken links.
So I just modelled something, imported the banshee gbxmodel, nodes and markers, and figured the rest out.

Ish

I prolly did something wrong
but I got it ingame.

The model is there. It's sinking through the floor, like half in the floor.

I go near it, and it doesn't say "Press E to enter Banshee" (I used the banshee tags, edited the gbxmodel, collision and animations)

Then sometimes, it's not sticking into the floor and it's floating ish in the sky, balanced on a wing.

I go near it, it says "press E to flip banshee". I press E, it flips after a few tries, then it goes back to saying nothing.

Explosions don't affect it most of the time, cept for huge ones, (aka scarab gun)

I didn't delete any of the nodes or markers, just moved them to where they should be on my model. I selected them all and exported.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

Also, could someone also explain about nodes and markers?

All the nodes are green and markers are blue. Is that important?

are they just any shape, or do they have to be spheres?





Glass

In 3ds, when I render, I get a cool looking transparent glass piece. It reflects everything and whatnot. I put it ingame, nothing is there but I can walk up it.

Is there anyway to get it to be transparent but reflect what's behind it and not be tinted?

Also, breaking it, I put in the - symbol and it won't break. Is there some modifications to the collision?


Thanks a lot =P

(PS Coldfire, it's how I normally type. Is this better?)

Well, I put #driver where I wanted to have my driver seat. That should be right, yeah? I checked the banshee tags as well, the enter seat is named driver. Unless the # counts, but then how did the original banshee tags work?

probaly the physics

Does that affect the seats of the vehicle?
