I am still working on my mech, but has just now though of a cool idea. Is there a way to allow my mech to have a jet pack built into it? Example: I am wanting to jump onto a higher ledge and my mech has a jet pack. I could then use that to climb the ledge. Also....is there a way to assign the jet pack feature to the "Space bar" on the player keyboard?



Thanks

PS: I am planning on releasing the mech one i am done with it. But it will ether be the beat version or the final version of the mech. Not sure yet though. Stay tuned...that is if you are even interested.

Well I don't know if there's a way to make it the spacebar, but possibly a secondary fire(if it's not taken already) or through flashlight (possibly an effect, more probably script) it is possible.

There is another way, although it may take a lot of tweaking so it doesn't look so gimmicky. You could make a "driveable/rideable" biped, aka take your vehicle and make it a biped. They both operate on the same principle, I've done it before, although I don't remember how well controlling it worked and such. With this, you could just have your mech actually jump.

The problems with that are that bipeds normally die due to health. And if there's no death animations(like it would if it was a vehicle) it could be weird. Also, I don't know if damage transfers the same way. Something to look into.

Well....why not the space bar? Would it not be doing the same thing as when you press space bar when you want to go up in the pelican..or longsword?...the thing it.....how would you assign it? Does someone know how to?

Thanks

That's all it is, if those two do it then I'm sure you could, although it may just be an animation thing. I'm just not able to currently open up a tag and look at all the functions that's all.
