Not bad, i like the pod best.
Holly dick, i jsut went through the whole thread, there all amazing!
Personal favourite was Larry_g's for the style with use of no material & colour.
So tempted to make one.. might get back into it!
working on a 99.9% destructible pod (chair will be wooden, but not breakable) and might as well post it when it's done.
I built about 7 different ones a long time ago. This is my favorite out of them all. None of them fly, I never got to that. But now, after being reminded from this thread, I think I have a renewed project. =]

It's okay i guess, but those blades if that's what they are really don't look like blades :S

I'm confused max, are you talking about the E2 I made for your pod? Cause if you're claiming to have made that then I am just going to have to be like :(
If you made your own and used it for the comp that's cool, otherwise some credit is due, and it may sound greedy but I put a lot of effort into reinforcing the code.
If i'm wrong sorry if not then :(

Awesome, I'm really glad that people are still making racers, if you need a hand making them fly I am happy to help, just join Milton Gamers ip: 118.127.16.155:27095 just check I'm there first (Grumpy Hitler [j4M])
prepare for lag it is an aus/nz server
this goes to anyone, though don't be upset if I've got better things to do, right now I'm all outta ideas and inspiration so aslong as I'm not at uni I should be free to help
Keep posting em,
Thanks, Grumpy

Eh, i already said that was before, you went away somewhere to your 'second house' :P and then it didn't get finished before you got back.
There's no video yet so :/
When there is, you basically did it for me <3.

I saw all of these racers in the competition and I'm disappointed I missed it... anyways I thought this might belong here: Thats the race lineup before our pod-race at a little LAN party we had here...
Edit: thought that was JPEG hmmm my bad

woah, when was this?
Don't be put off posting, just because it has ended, doesn't mean you can't post here if you don't think it needs its own thread
ps: Lineups r kewl
A couple of days ago we had a LAN party and decided to have a pod race. I am like obsessed with the whole pod racer idea so I convinced them to make 'em and race 'em. Too fun. I also made a couple maps for pod-racing too, so we had like a full day of pod-racing fun.
We also had a competition like this one here, best looking, and then of course, who would win the races.
-snip-
I was high as a kite
How do I use applyforce,someone tell me. :(
I don't beleive I'm the person to explain it to you because I just figured out a working version myself but, if you like I may be able to
Also would anyone be interested in a whole map actually for pod racing? I do actually have a couple and I have one massive one I'm working on
[QUOTE=XM5;16712717]would anyone be interested in a whole map for pod racing? I do actually have a couple and I have one massive one I'm working on[/QUOTE]
Yah, sure put it on here
ok guys im in im just half way through my pod atm but its way not fin yet also i have to ask can you guys tell me if im allowed to use repulsors????
[editline]11:01PM[/editline]

The contest is over.
[QUOTE=DONUT KING;17250932]The contest is over.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't mean he can't post here, like I've said before in this thread, it is good 2 post pod racers in here if they don't deserve their own thread
oh its over and also anyone who calls me dumb fuck off cus i aint someone who knows everything about facepunch and when the contests are done and stuff
[editline]11:00AM[/editline]
ok uploading some images now:
[IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad70/Neoventilator22/gm_flatgrass0005.jpg[/IMG]
as you can see its a bit bland but its quite fast
[IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad70/Neoventilator22/gm_flatgrass0000.jpg[/IMG]
i went a bit mad with the elastics xD
[IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad70/Neoventilator22/gm_flatgrass0006.jpg[/IMG]
maybe i should add a camera to the back xD
[editline]11:02AM[/editline]
oh and its uses repulsors if your just wondering
make sure you puty em on the top of what your making and turn the repulse against props off
you're not going 2 like me, but what in god's green earth is that supposed 2 b?

Miiight wanna hold off on the posting for a little while, get yourself situated <=D
[QUOTE=Hunta;15301519]Right, full tutorial time:
[IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb270/yamclam999/podint2.jpg[/IMG]
The picture above shows the constraints for the Racer, each box is a phx plate with weight 130.
all elastic have 1500 damp, 15 rel (i think, same as suspension settings)
Red: Elastic 1200 constant
Orange: Elastic 100 constant
Blue: Rigid Ropes
Green: Elastic 3000 constant
Pink: Elastic 100 constant
You may want to experiment with those values, but that the set up I developed for mine (through many prototypes)
Now, Hovering, you want 2 put a ranger on each end of each engine plate, plus a vector thruster with Z = -1 input, you can use applyforce, idc. Then, using an expression, the mul input for each vector thruster, is (what ever height you want it 2 hover at) - Ranger - $Ranger. Then I use an if statement to remove the negative thrust, so it doesnt thrust into the ground if it is too high. Do the same for your cockpit plate, but only use 1 vector thruster and ranger.
Next on each plate (all 3) use thursters pointing in opposite directions to keep the roll at zero with the expression: Thrust = Roll + (3*$Roll). Do the same but with pitch with the cockpit plate. Now your engine plates should only tilt in pitch, relative the to ground it is above, and your cockpit plate shouldnt tilt, just hover.
place the expression for this at the back of each engine plate and anywhere on the cockpit plate, then add air resistance with the expression line: applyForce(entity():vel() * 2) this will stop your pod racer floating around and drifting like mad and will keep it straight.
finally parent each bit of ur pod racer to the corresponding chips (left engine to the chip at the back of the left engine plate etc)
I don't think ive missed anything, tell me if I have or if you are having any problems, this isnt a perfect solution, I spent ages tweaking my settings to perfection, so the wont nessasarally be perfect for yours.
Note* Ive added for more features that this to mine (dynamic engine roll, dynamic engine height etc) , but they arent needed.
oh and mine steers like slip steering (tank steering) but with rear thrusters on each engine plate, using space to do a tight turn, then 2 weak thrusters at the front for fine adjustment[/QUOTE]
ok BRAIN MALFUNCTION.can you post a video plz.
