A lot of vehicle stuff is pretty hard coded IIRC (GO HALO ENGINE), so I'd imagine emulating things like Choppers, Prowlers and Hornets perfectly would be a bit difficult... I'm no vehicle specialist though.
I do know that strafing with flying vehicles is impossible, so anything like hornets and banshees won't feel very H3. Edited by Marka Haiyana on May 4, 2009 at 08:45 PM wait, what? strafing with flying vehicles is impossible? I was not aware of this. It's possible, but pretty damn difficult to do. In a sense, you could make the animation for left and right turns to be just "strafing" movements. I believe Rob Oplawar did something with the CMT Sparrowhawk to fix this issue.

why can't you just do a ghost strafing thing + up/down pelican maneuvers, and a 3-d flying vehicle?

Because you can't get the ghost strafing and the up down pelican maneuvers on the same vehicle. You can choose alien scout or human plane, but not both.

Since device_machines do not support physics, if you attach an invisible one to the deck of the Elephant then it means that you will not slide off. Period.

I had an Idea that you could make the elephant a device machine, and have it follow a track. You could then control the direction of it from the "drivers seat" like you would the controls of an elevator. Only problem is that you would run into the other elephant, and you wouldnt have any freedom in where you can drive it.

They wouldnt run into eachother if you made 2 tracks that go a liittle like this.... (()) one outer track one inner track ###ERROR### That would mean the outer track would split the elephant in half, one half going on one side of the outer track, and another half going on the other, then the elephant would magically go back together.

Bisch >:V You were supposed to be doing mah HUD I finished the HUD bitmaps :V except for the new pickup icons, which I might just add in a few different ones in the mix with the default ones. I compiled the reticles, and they are amazing. I just have to compile the rest and setup up the HUD.

I need to send it to you, Hunter, since I edited the elephant for errors and other stuff for Halo, since I have the job of getting it ingame with animations and such. And: http://www.xfire.com/video/b39c2/ Crit is appreciated, and how to improve on it.

Advancebo the animation for the exiting_elephant looks good,but you may need to make it faster, and add some more.... movement into it, it looks a bit plain.
