Mike Dude's HK-Drone V1

[zakkin]

Hey, do you think youll be able to release dup for v1?
v2 is in working, so releasing v1 will give us a... bigger picture.
plus, more fans.
more suggestions can also come,
And then you will get a happy waffle. (me)

I would love to see a vid of it with the new body.

Yeah, I could release a V1, only problem is im spending so much time on V2, V1 isn't really ready for release LOL. If you want to see it in action, come to the UFA Public Build, I will release a video soon though.

Latest feature added: awesome music player XD

Edit: hey xk4melot, I don't see your name in the ban list, PM me your steam ID if you still cant join and I can unban you.

i have never seen this mike :O maybe beacuse my computer has been down, and will be due to power supply shorting out last night while i setting the bios up :\ looks good tho!

I saw you got on the UFA server a few nights ago, I was working on it the whole time you were there lol.

Ok well I have a small problem. I am trying to add 2 small machine gun turrets to the bottom sides of the Drone. There are lots of nice applyAngForce and applyOffsetForce turrets out there, and I have made a few great turrets of my own, only problem is, they are usually 2000+ in weight, which is partly what makes them stable.

I need to make one that weighs 2 maybe 3 tops. I tried so far with applyAngForce stuff that would have worked had it been heavier, but it just spins away. I turned down the force and it improved but it was wobbly and slow to respond.

Can anyone help with this? All I want it to do is make a .25x.25 phx plate point at a target's position. Ill stick the gun on it. It needs to be fast and stable and weigh only 2 or 3 wieght.

EDIT:

Well I converted the turrets to applyOffsetForce instead of applyAngForce and it works pretty well. Credit goes to the person that made the Camera man v2 (I forgot his name) for they aOF equations.
This worked so well I may convert my thrusters over to aOF instead of aAF. Maybe it will fix the "rocking" of the thrusters that I get when the drone is in motion.

Awesome HK-drone

You gotta tell me how you were able to align a round prop (thruster) so accurately to the rectanglular prop (your V1 in the video).

I've tried Easy Precision and Easy alignment, but unless Im doing something wrong, they dont align the way I want them to

EDIT: Nvm, I figured out a way to pull it off

[Blaylock1988]

Make sure you have Smart snap too. EasyPrecision is an awesome tool, I prolly use that more than any other construction tool (why hasn't it been updated recently? so many quirks still)

Well I got my turrets on my drone and they work great. I also fixed the horrific problem where whenever I removed my Drone (remover tool or undo) it would crash the server...only problem is, I dont know how I fixed it.... :V

Yeah, when you deleted the drone everybody in the server was like "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.........."

...and then nothing happened.

[zakkin]

Well, let the drone auto-look at the target, and just use normal wire turrets.

Simples.
