Just for future reference, would it be possible to give a vehicle a melee attack/animations?

what kind of animation is ? throw the hook of the warthog ?

Not warthog.

This thingie:




I want to be able to make the 3 tendrils swat at anything infront of it.


Also, still haven't resolved the problem of it not being able to fire.

uhh what is that ?

It's a hellish turret in its natural habitat. Aaaand it seems my image has been killed so REUPLOADING.



Please refer to this post for the firing problem:

So yeah, melee on vehicles. Possible?

I think it can't.

If you want it to be instakill then yes - have the vehicle animate so that it physically moves as part of an attack but then that acts as getting killed by a vehicle collision. I had that sort of idea for a vehicle robot thing, not tried it out yet though.

Effectively you just have a weapon that otherwise fires a useless invisible projectile doing no damage and the firing animation itself moves the tentacles - the collision model then kills your target!

Might just work, not sure if you can implement melee in a standard way, though.

Which brings me on to my second thought.

Can vehicle seats switch to different weapons? I've got this idea to make a sort of mobile suit Gundam type thing, and I would want it to have the ability to switch its weapon. Of course, this would also help with the turret. Although, I have nothing planned for the secondary fire, so I suppose I could just put that in there...
