considering your not moving, or the driver, but a passenger, you shouldnt appear on the radar

Not sure if it can be done using a weapon, but with a vehicle, you could make loads of passenger seats.

I had a similar idea. I was thinking a dumpster in an urban enviroment. Like, in halo 3 forge, the way dumpsters look.

But the idea is maybe you could have two slots on the elevator. One left, one right, both seats. Normally you are hidden inside and have an outside camera. The flashlight button or maybe crouch, jump, melee, something could be rigged to make you pop out to fire. Or for realism, you could keep it in first person, so you rely on chance. In which case you could use the trigger button to allow you a very limited peek out. An observant passerby would watch for this.

The problem, is if an enemy passes by, aims at a dumpster, and their reticle turns red, they know something is up. Furthermore, the text for getting in would have to be something like "Hold "E" to Hide in Dumpster".

Is a well made one possible?

use my morphball script.

I dont remember weather I explained how to get it working better in there, but if you place a area on the side of the level in a seperate cluster so it doesnt render, and change the delete part to use the seat test listed in the script to instead warp it back and remove the create option in each vehicle, it will sync correctly.

Something wrong with the physics tag. I suggest you re-tool it, fix the masspoints radius, and try again

FYI, the anims tag for your vehicle needs at the least:
- Units: 1, "stand"
- - Weapons: 1, "fixed"
- - - Weapon Types: 1, "fixed"
- Vehicles: 1

no need for actual animations. Just add the above to a new anims tag

that wasnt very clear kirby

it makes it so when you press flashlight (Q) you enter your setup vehicle (in this case, a box and or barrel)

I was thinking more along the lines of a static object. A vehicle.

Hey, is it possible to put AI Blinds in that box so you can hide in the middle of a SP map and AI wouldn't see you unless they, like, stepped on you?
