Considering the limit is four muzzle bones, I guess it could be a possiblity... But then again, you can have lots of wheels, I have had up to 18 on a vehicle...
I wonder... Can you have tread bones, and wheel bones that just steer? A half track would be really fun to drive... A half track that has a rotor would also be really cool...
*wanders off mumbling to himself*
I doubt it is possible, but that would be awesome!
Oh yeah, can you write a tutorial, or direct me to a tutorial on creating rotor bones? One of the only things I have never successfully gotten to work in Renegade...

Yup, there is a max of 4 engine bones and 4 rotor bones. I never saw the need for more than two so I probably coded it to support a max of 4 just to be ready for those crazy designers and artists 
No way around it now unfortunately...

*Apache just finishes his incoherent mumbling, looks up and slaps his forehead as he reads the official news*
Oh well, it would be cool, but if it isn't possible, it isn't possible...

ok tanx, i find another way(well i think it will work)
make 3 rotor bone, and the 2 other always spining using a material with spining option....
![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) that would be just ok ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

you could just make a 8 wheeled vehicles, the front 2 would steer while the back 6 would be inside a track that doesnt interfere with the wheels

I guess there might be some way to use the WWSkin modifier to make it work... I am gonna mess around and see what I can come up with, also, Francois, can you tell me how to do the rotors?

Yes, you could make a half track that way (why didn't I think of that!) The only thing that won't work is the tracks won't scroll with the movement of the vehicle because that code is in the TrackedVehicleClass (you'll need to use WheeledVehicle) But that is a pretty minor thing anyway.

If I manage to make the treads follow a couple bones using the WWSkin modifier, can I make it follow wheel bones that do nothing but spin? I would be using physical treads, not a texture.

simply add a bone named like this:
rotor00.00, then link your Physic model u want to rotate to the rotor..
Also i made a german king tiger, it have 22 wheels and 2 treads.... so long to bone ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
and about the half track, i dont really understand what u try to do, but my self i made one, 2 tread and each tread have 4 wheel, and i have 2 front wheels(outside of tread).
i asked greg about wheel and tread stuff, he awnser u cannot make wheels turn(when u drive: go left or right: steering stuff) when u have tracked vehicle...
Its wierd why some option didint have been implanted in renegade(more than four rotor... , steering on treaded vehicles....), and other option where implanted but not really used(ex: Inversed steering)...
Maybe someday a patch will give us the option to do this, and have the Scripts...
Btw Greg when we will have the new Scripts.dll?

Also greg, the Seat bone, how does it work?
i mean, if i make a vehicle and i add this seat bone, and i put "occupant visible" option, u see the soldier... i know, but is there a way to choose how we want it placed?
do i must link Human Bone to the Seat bone? and that will define my soldier position in the vehicle?

I am not so sure how I can animate my physical treads on my model (no way I am gonna release it, well over 50 000 polys just for the right tread, but I plan to make the tread sorta flow over the wheels using wheel bones that just rotate when the vehicle moves, that way it will be a wheeled vehicle with makeshift treads on the back, this will be interesting...
