Presenting the very first fully custom vehicle on Mars Explorer.

This Discussion originally posted in the "Mars Explorer" Group
Hello everyone! Sorry for posting another of my creations in a separate post, but I decided that it didn't exactly fit my other "City of Dreams" post very well. Basically what I have here is Mars' first custom vehicle! I had the idea to do something of this sort a while back, but Kruncher was the one who actually requested something of this sort - so I made it. Please note that this is my very first version of this, and the first time I've done this sort of thing on Mars Explorer. Expect the later versions to be much more refined ;)
Oh, one note: if you loose your car somehow, restart/rejoin the server to reset the car. There were a lot of limitations in making this vehicle as you might notice.
Oh, very important: after you start the server, press 2 (for the follow mode) and then 4 to get farther behind the car. If you don't, all you will see is the car's back.

Hmm, I wonder what might have caused that. It might have been because of the large number of people or my ground texture size. Probably the latter though... I'll check it out later tonight.

it isn't even real DX it's just the buggy inside a costume
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Interesting... Did you just reprogram the Carbon Combat car to replace the buggy somehow? Or does it cover up the buggy, like tffan's post says?

The buggy is put into the mesh on start. It is impossible to replace the buggy mesh with my own in-game.

That is amazing! Great job. There isnt much grip though.

Achilles This is a breakthrouh now please could you create a map(put 2 or 3 Of these cars in the city of dreams then export) and by the way if you lose the car headbutt its rearbumper at 20 mph and you will find your selfin the car
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
I'm probably going to implement this car into another cityish map instead of the City of Dreams map. The car is actually designed so that you can get out by resetting your pos, and then get back in by driving into the car.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
WOW! Maybe a something like this for real will appear in syn3h.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Curse that thing!
It ate my buggy!
*LOL*
Was a lot of fun zapping it's empty shell once I got out though.
It looks great! .oO(Especially when lit up from the ground with a heap of tank lazers)
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Wow what a signifigant milestone...
It looks like a Lamborghini Murcelago.
One car in particular (although 2 mods dont really like me bringing up this subject,) it looks like Wolfs second car from NFS Carbon.

Good job on this Achilles! I think it's gonna make a great addition to Mars!
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Great Work! Yes I will definately like this! Does this have the Carbon Combat car physics or the buggy physics?
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Buggy physics.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Great work Achilles but my buggy kinda seprated from the car as I was trying to fly at about 230 m/ph!
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
The car actually wasn't meant to fly ;)
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
but with enough speed and explosives, ANYTHING can fly 8D

i really do feel like a critic when i say this :
"could be better"
and it BETTER.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
If you have ideas on HOW exactly I could make it better I would be all for it. Criticism is great, but please, tell me how I can improve it - don't just say something is bad as it won't get better that way.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
1.make it an actual vehicle, not just a costume DX
2. have the wheels stick to the ground, meaning make it have its own physics instead of buggy physics
3. add a flying ability
4. physics again
5. disable the ability for the costume to fly off if anything...
6. physics a third time
7. ability to shoot lasers
8. can be used for other vehicles other than the buggy (optional)
9. respawn means you take the car with you (so the buggies ARE the cars)
10. physics one more time
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Unfortunately most of the above suggestions are impossible for me to do. Only Aubrey can replace the in-game buggy mesh. The physics as you suggest a lot is based mostly on the buggy handling. You can adjust the server settings accordingly if you want a different feel for the car.
The multiple customizable vehicles is something that can be done - but using the same technique as what is currently being used. If anyone can think of another way to do this, I'm all for it.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
One more thing there is a gap between the car and the Buggy which makes it difficult to handle (The Car has bigge lenth which you can see when you go into first person mode and go ack and forth )P
P.S 5 and 7 of fiffans post can be done i think but 7 is very hard as it will always act as anothther mest witch will stop the laser but atleast cut a hole in the very center from where the buugy shoots with the right click and again to make that work the car should be locked onto the buggy fixxed no gap got it.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Can we at least recognize this a major step in design?
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
I have already recognized it reaad my previous comment
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
THAZ MAH ACHILLES FOR YA! HE WORKED REALALLLYLLYYY REALLLLLYYY HARD ON THIS SO BE PROUD OF HIS AMAZING DESIGN! :)))))))
<3 Ya Achilles :)
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Well, first of all, whenever you start the game, sometimes, the buggy will show and the other car will be somewhere else, like 6 feet away from you, and its a struggle to get in the car. But other than that, its awsome!
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
i think i figured out why nobody can join the server. you need A.multiple cars B. a script dictates that once the first car is occupied by the host each succesive player occupies a different car C. or you could have a workaround that spawns a car on the base every time a person joins the game
also achilles just tell me if this is to much but i think you can do this
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
No, it's not possible with Whirld as:
a) You cannot script in the current version of Whirld
b) You cannot add network views to any objects in Whirld as it messes with Aubrey's custom network object instantiations.

» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
how did you do it tell us so we can to and great job i got in the car backwards once and you can use an x orb to get your silf out
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
It's a car mesh with convex mesh colliders added to the wheels. An inverted rectangle with a box collider is in the center which "traps" the buggy when driven into. (It's also why you can't exactly fly while in the car).
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
OH MAI GAWD this thing is amazing.
Make a Evo/Impreza car nao.
Seriously, really impressed.

» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
Thanks :) I would make more versions, but I don't have the Unity Pro trial anymore (used to export worlds to Mars). Once the new version of Whirld is released I might make something like this but on a grander scale (think lots of different types of vehicles that you can drive into and control).

It is cool, until you get removed from your car.

Can you make a url for this world for syn3h?
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
this seems a little too much like the buggy. if you are looking to add this sports car thing to the game i would suggest it sould be able to go really fast and not have wings.
» Reply to CommentRe: First Custom Vehicle on Mars
*sigh*
'tis a custom vehicle, it's not going to be in the game as a main vehicle.
So we're not looking to add this to the game, it's a custom vehicle in one world. If you read the description, you would know this.
