O i have modeled a helicopter, I also skined It.( I am remaking the skins later, right know they SUCK(i might remodel it too))

Well anyway I want to know what nodes I should use. I would be weird flying like a banshee. So what should I put.

Its objects include

-hull(most of thge vehicle)
-hatch( the openable cockpit thingy)
-main rotor (rotor on top)
-rear rotors (the two rotots in the back)
-gun body left( the body of the minigun)
-gun body right (DUH!)
-gun barrel left
-gun barel right



Btw there are two thrusters on the bottom but they are just part of the hull.

A picture of the helicopter might help us what to say here....

Here is a list of nodes that I think should be in it, but I need add one or remove one, please tell me

frame hull
frame hatch
frame main rotor
frame rear rotors
frame gun body left
frame gun body right
frame barrel left
frame barrel right
#primary trigger
#primary trigger(beacuse there are too miniguns)
#primary ejection
#primary ejection
#driver
#driver enter
#driver enter-hint

would I need anything else?

Also its a one seated vehicle. I want the thrusters on the bottom to be lights by the way, so would I need nodes for that?

# are markers (should be 1 size and blue)

frames, bip01 bones, are nodes (should be 2 unit size and green)

#engine

speak not of which you do not understand. nodes and markers dont have to be a certain size, shape, color or anything. adjust the size as you wish but DO NOT use the scale tool on nodes or markers UNLESS your animation specifically requires one part of the model to grow or shrink, in which case the scaling is done in the ANIMATION max scene. DO NOT USE SCALE ON NODES OR MARKERS IN THE MAIN MODEL SCENE

should I maker the rotors have collsion geometry, because i've seen maps with helicopters that are freaking anoying because the rotors get stuck on walls. Would it be best to have no collsion on the rotors?

Also It might not matter too much, since the heli is for the SI in an SP i am planing to make. I don't think the player will get the chance to fly it. But maybe.

Pics would help.

I am planing on keeping it a secret. So you will have to wait for the SP to come out. If I can even make it....
