Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Since JA has both driveable vehicles and manned turrets, would it be possible to create a vehicle with a driver and a gunner or gunners? Sort of like HALO? I'm not into modding or editing, I just thought I'd throw the idea out there in case noone has tried it yet.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

I realy doubt that. Though I do think it is possible that a vehicle would have more then one person on it.

Go play Halo or Plantetside if you want something like that...

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

if there is a game which uses the quake 3 engine like jk3 which has pilot/gunner vehicles, then theres a chance but again, its all to do with the yet-to-be-released code

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

in sp you can shoot guns on the speeder bike. But thats not MP :uhm: can you shoot with the x-wings and ties in MP? I saw a few maps made that you could fly xwings in MP... so can you shoot em'? Its basically pointless to fly ships around (like flying around an empty map) without being able to shoot :)

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Yes you can shoot from them.

If vehicles can have more than one rider, then it would be possible to specify who drivers and who shoots....but you'd probably have to re-code it. Right now is it possible to get more than one person in a vehicle? Not looked into it that deeply yet.

I was curious, is there only one animation when the pc is riding on a vehicle, I have the speeder bike and stap models and the animation looks the same for all of them(it looks like the pc is taking a dump when riding the stap)? Also I seem to remember that you can use a cheat or something to carry around and fire the cannon used on the atsp, so maybe a vehicle type weapon is possible, or a mod that will allow you to use a special weapon (like a cannon) while on the vehicle. Alos, if someone where to model a vehicle that had room or a compartment for additional people, I do not see why it would be impossible to have a vehicle with passengers, and yes a battle "buggy" like in Halo would be cool so piss off tfighetpilot(cannot even spell "fight").

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Yeah even a vehicle that would allow passengers to ride on or in it would be cool. I just thought it would be a neat thing to do for a Siege map.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Maybe what you could do is have a vehicle that has a large flat platform on top with several emplaced guns or something.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

ATST has guns! Thats a vehicle.. so it is possible.... and if the x-wings have guns, then you can have other vehicles with guns... its just i guess raven thought it would be cool (and is) to use your saber when riding a vehicle... and it is! So dont worry about it. Im sure it will get made.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

It could be cool if there will be a driver which controls the vehicle plus one emplaced gun in the front, and two more places on the side where other players can stand on, and either shoot with a blaster, or use their lightsaber

*is missing Planetside* :(

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

yeah i mean only one thing could sum up the awesomeness of this
mellenium falcon rotating cannons
now how cool would that be?!!!

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Not very, I mean, you would probably see the milenium falcoon from a third person angle, which from you cannot aim.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

maybe but then it could also be like aiming one of the gun turrets on the desert seige map only you can aim 360 degrees it would still work

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

So you would be able to actually getting in the falcon? If so, it couldn't be a flyable ship.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

too difficult to explain but ill try
pilot and two guners get in, pilot flies whilst gunners have 360 degrees control of the guns while it is flying, like its on rails like time crisis you dont control the characters you just control their aim and shooting

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

In the EU stuff the Empire does have a platform type vehicle with gun emplacements, so if anyone is interested in building something like that I can find reference stuff for you.

If you had something like this and combined Jedi with gunners, the Jedi defending the gunners, it would be pretty sweet. However seeing how well people cooperate in Siege most of the time, I don't see that happening. LOL

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Ya, siege is suposed to be co-op isn't it?
People shoot you just before you hop in the walker, and take it for themself, and they don't even know how to drive it!

If you have a crosshair in the falcon it would be easyer.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

Well, there are vehicles that let you have passengers, try spawning a lambda shuttle and then having several people get in it. The problem is that it causes some bugs with flying controls on it.

So yes, it probably is posible, but it would take a large amount of coding to get it to work I suspect.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

it is probably possible by using a code mod (not a file mod like unzipping assets). they originally planned this for the lambda shuttle but didn't include in the final version of jk3. you can see this if you open the lambda shuttle file, there is code for turrets that was scrapped and put in comments.

Re: Vehicles with gunner(s) - is it possible?
 

the platforms on the top and sides wont work.
as soon as the vehicle starts moving the guy on the platform will die. In Kotor flight school if you stand on top of a ship when it takes of (same thing)
