[QUOTE=Devon-M;31723395]:wtc: how many fucking pistons are on that?

now put it in a plane.[/QUOTE]

You're looking at 54. I can already mount it to a standard truck chassis with little difficulty and spin tires at 30 mph uphill, so a plane might not be too far away.

[skeligandrew]

Blah MrWhite, torque on that badboy would throw the plane like ragdoll.

One of my friends told me that he lieks 911's and also its like a car from my childhood videogame "Ignition"

So I figure I'll make one.

Eventually I will put a windshield in the back and make the tubes that hold the lamps look better, but I cant seem to find that one bloody prop, any constructive criticism on other parts is welcome.

[Cinnamon]

Yummy angles on that thing.

i think that looks good.

[QUOTE=Beanz;31743619]SEXY THANNNG.[/QUOTE]

Wow. You already accomplished one of the hardest things to do in the process of making a helicopter - connecting the fuselage to the tail or the "tail boom." (imo)

Thats already half the battle right there, as far as the building portion. Now, finish the nose and then you are pretty much finished with the hard parts.

[Beanz]

well i was pretty much done, had to add the landing skids, winglets and tail rotor. but then as usual, i crashed out of the server.

So... it's all lost? Or do you have a hierarchy of duplications as you should?

[Beanz]

[QUOTE=MrWhite;31780732]So... it's all lost? Or do you have a hierarchy of duplications as you should?[/QUOTE]
nah nah it's not lost. i think i have at least 3 wip dupes of it. the third one being pretty much where i just had to add those things. i haven't fired up gmod to check yet though. the annoying part is that i know that i didn't save the 50 prop cockpit interior for the gunners seat.

[Pringles.]

i've built a havoc but i cba to get pics now

First serious attempt at a car... doesnt look as blocky now Ive got the wheelarches done.

supposed to be a bmw m1 procar.

What is that headlight prop you guys use, the one with the indicator?

[FuDy]

Feeling this thread needs some reviving.

Also that helicopter a few posts above mine is amazingly done.

[Pringles.]

that 6x6 truck is fucking awesome because it reminds me of the days when we only had the metal plates and other simple PHX parts.

Yes.

[Unslinga]

[video=youtube;iSKSSL802pE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSKSSL802pE[/video]

Made this myself, though the firing system needs a reconstruction...

[Pringles.]

cant say thats accurate

[Bubbus]

Looks like the turret's aiming at the dead combine because the npc entity doesn't remove until a second after it's died. Try a <= 0 health check in the target picking code? (if you're using E2)

First post in contraptions thread for ages and it's E2 advice. I guess I just don't build anymore, it's all about the chip baby :v:

[Unslinga]

It does hang for a bit, but that's the find function I think, it's not based on find next...

findInSphere(entity():pos(),50000)
findClosest(owner():pos())
findIncludeClass("player")
findIncludeClass("npc")
findExcludePlayer(owner())
Target = findResult(1)

[Bubbus]

Yeah, the find function is detecting the invisible npc entity, and that thing sticks around for a sec after the npc dies. Pretty sure if you do something like (V & V:health() > 0) on the combeens it'll work better. You can do that really easy if you don't care about always targeting the closest one, otherwise it'll cost you some ops because I don't think there's a way of ordering the find-array by distance.

Does this still count as contraption talk or what

[bluereaper]

which thread is the WIP thread, this one, or 2.0.1?

[Csp499]

[img]http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n48/Csp499/gm_buttes0000-5.jpg[/img]

It hovers.

Still working on the control system; handles okay, until it decides to convulse for no reason.

does it hover a given distance from the ground or does it "float"?
